Not So Gloomy Grey - Cosmephile

It's a known fact that grey shadow makes brown eyes look more brown. Here, I've tested this theory for myself and loved the daytime-safe semi-smoky look. These photos were taken at the end of the day, so the crease is a bit smudged.

- MAC #'s 214 (short shader brush), 217 (blending brush), 242 (shader brush), 222 (tapered blending brush), Small Angle Brush (263), and 116 (blush brush)
