For a country full of women obsessed with gold,
what's better than adding a little bit of
24 karat gold even to your makeup look?
Hi, I'm Sonam and today I'm going to show you
how to add a royal touch to your regular smokey eye.
Starting with the eyes,
you definitely want to go in with
an eyeshadow primer to keep this look in place
and also bring out the vibrancy of your eyeshadows .
Now go in with a dark nude matte shade
all over your crease.
All eyeshadows I'll be using today are matte
to bring out the gold foil's metallic sheen.
Add a deeper brown shade to the outer corner of your eyes
to create a feline shape.
Add a medium brown shade to the centre of the eyelid
to get a sort of smokey halo base
for the foil.
Finish off with tightlining the eyes
and also create a smokey wing to add dimension.
For a seamless blend,
work one eye at a time.
Use a smudger brush or a Q-tip
to diffuse the harsh edges.
Now for my lower lash line,
I'm following the same format
of the darkest colour on the outer corners,
medium colour in the centre
and the lightest colour on the inner corners of my eye.
So I have my eyeshadow in place
and now comes the fun part!
The best thing about gold leaf, is you need no glue
because it just sticks to your skin automatically.
Come, let's do this.
To secure your gold leaf in place,
keep patting it down so it doesn't shift and move.
So as you can see, you want to go very slow
with building up the foil instead of putting
the entire sheet on your eye in one go.
Be patient with this one.
So once you're finally satisfied
with the amount of gold on your eyes,
you can either add a black eyeliner to intensify the look
but I think I'm just going to add a little bit of
highlighter and mascara and finish it off.
Finish off the eyes with your favourite heavy volume mascara.
You could always add lashes to add some more drama.
For fall outs, clean the lashes with a lash comb.
For my lips and cheeks,
I'm going in with the same colour
to keep my look more cohesive.
So I've matched my lip and cheek tint with my outfit.
You can go ahead with your favourite bright lipstick.
You can also add in a little bit of highlighter if you feel like.
Just keep everything in gold tone
so it kinda matches with the foil on your eyes.
I hope you enjoyed watching this look as much as
I enjoyed creating it.
