She has started with a light pearl eye shadow on the eyelids to really lighten up the whole eye area. To create contrast, she has lined her eyes in a dark brown-black shade and smoked it out softly on the outer corners of the eye.

Gayle has great skin, so all that was needed to make it glow was a bit of bronzer on the cheeks and a nude peach lip gloss. These colors look fabulous with black, brown or cinnamon hair like Gayle's.
