I've filled in my eyebrows using MAC's Fluidline in Dipdown and used Pro Longwear concealer to shape and highlight my eyebrows.

Then applied Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden all over the eyelids and brow bone.

After that I used a NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese only on the eyelid.

Afterwards I used a gold eye shadow with gold deposits from Cargo's Eye Shadow Duo with a Detail Shadow brush.

Next, I used a matte "Light Beige" eyeshadow from the brow bone all the way down to the crease where the gold meets with Medium Eyeshadow Brush.

Then applied a matte "Caramel" eyeshadow on the crease with a Dome Blender brush.

Afterwards I used a matte "Warm Mocha Brown" eyeshadow concentrating on the outer corners of the lid and then blend it out to the crease with the same brush.

I felt the need to intensify the color on the outer corners so I picked a slightly darker "Mocha Brown" eyeshadow and applied it with the same brush.

For a more polished look I applied Pro Longwear Concealer in NW30 under the eyes with Detail Concealer brush. After that I applied Studio Fluid Fix in NC44 with a Foundation Brush. To set concealer and t-zone I used Ben Nye's Banana Luxury Powder with a Powder Buffer brush. Then applied Camel Mojave Luxury Powder with the same brush on the side of my temples, cheeks, and jawline making a three to slightly contour my face.

To contour I used Shimmer Mocha Havana because this shade is very close to my skin tone. To highlight I used Soft and Gentle on the highest part of my cheekbones and my t-zone with a Angle Brush. To add a flush of color on  cheeks I used Garden Rose with the same brush.

Back to the windows of the soul, I applied Trooper to line my eyes and Definicils to the upper and lower lashes.

You can never go wrong with a bright red lip! I used the infamous Ruby Woo lipstick paired with MAC's Cherry lip pencil  to pull my Gold Glamour look effortlessly.

I hope you all have enjoyed this photoset. Feel free to pick, choose and try what ever you like from this look!
