Nicole Richie's Bronze Eye Makeup Draws Attention to her Pretty Peepers

The svelte starlet, pictured here with similarly dramatic makeup, drew attention to her beautiful hazel eyes when she paired smudged black eyeliner with a shimmering copper shadow.

To create this look for yourself, begin by lining your top and bottom lids with a charcoal gray or black eyeliner pencil. (There's no need to pull out the liquid liner for this one.)

Next, sweep a gold or tan eyeshadow with a hint of sparkle over your eyelids, past the crease and up toward your brows. Use a small makeup brush to precisely apply a bit of shimmer to your lower lids as well.

Most raven-haired girls who pile on the liner find that it makes their eyes pop. Richie's black liner certainly drew attention to her newly-dark locks and gave her a mysterious vibe that other brunette beauties can emulate.

Blondes or red-heads, on the other hand, may want to use soft brown eye makeup instead for a classy and polished look for big nights out on the town.
