Inspired By: Elena Gilbert/Nina Dobrev from The Vampire Diaries

Hey everyone! Here's a look inspired by the lead character from one of my favorite tv shows, The Vampire Diaries!
Through a lot of the first season, Elena/Nina tended to wear a gold eye with a slight smoke at the outer corner, which I tried to replicate! To do this, I used my Natural Eye palette by Too Faced!

Here's how I recreated this look:

I started off with a matte white base-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk-and blended it all over the lid
I then applied a light gold color-Honey Pot-all over the lid
I blended a matte dark brown on the outer corner of the lid-Sexpresso-and slightly onto the lower lashline
Finish off with your favorite mascara!

So what do you think? Do you like Elena Gilbert/Nina Dobrev's makeup? Let us know in the comments!

Thanks for reading
xoxo
