Smokey Brown Eyes Tutorial with Riri Hearts MAC Her Cocoa Eyeshadow Palette

Here's a quick and easy step-by-step Smokey Brown Eyes tutorial featuring the new eyeshadow palette: MAC Her Cocoa Eyeshadow palette from the Riri Hearts MAC Collection. Out of the two eyeshadow palettes, I've picked this one as I love warm neutral shades - they complement my skin tone perfectly. The eyeshadows themselves are good quality -- but more to come in my in depth review and swatches of the MAC Her Cocoa Eyeshadow palette.  In this tutorial, the colours I've used here are not particularly unique to MAC - you can find similar shades with different brands. This post is quite lengthy and picture heavy - be warned! xx

I don't often do eyeshadow tutorials as these making these posts require a lot of effort and are quite time-consuming, but if you learnt something or if you've enjoyed this tutorial, let me know and I will try to do more!
