Celebrity Makeup Tips: Olivia Munn’s Bronze Smoky Eyes

Pop quiz: What could make gamer guys watch an awards show red carpet? The answer: Olivia Munn. Even Star Trek hottie Chris Pine couldn’t resist the pull of G4′s vixen Attack of the Show! hostess, and we thought it was time gamer girls and guys alike got some love from The Beauty Bunny.

So what makes Miss Munn so alluring? Aside from producing unusually high amounts of estrogen relative to her proximity to a Playstation 3, Olivia’s appeal could be related to her standby choice in eye makeup: the bronze smoky eye. It’s a sort of “unsmoky” smoky eye that works for daytime. Glamour’s beauty bloggin’ babes first took note of her penchant for the look, and provided us with a guide on how to steal it yourself and win the heart of your favorite Halo champ this Valentine’s Day:

1. If you have dark undereye circles, cover them up with some concealer before continuing. Smoky does not equal sleepy.
2. Next, line your upper lashline with black eyeliner.
3. Then, smear a little cream bronze eyeshadow around your eyes. Almay Bright Eyes Eye Shadow should have the perfect shade for your skin tone — and it’s awesomely inexpensive to boot.
4. Finally, dust a little rose shadow like the lighter hue of Clinique’s Colour Surge Shadow Duo in Victorian Pink in the folds of your upper eyelids for shading.
