Hi,

I'm not a make-up artist and do not use make-up myself, but I believe that when it is actually applied to eyes it's referred to as Smokey eyes. If you want to achieve it in postprocessing, I suppose a combination of burning and desaturation might do the trick, or an HSL adjustment layer with reduced skin tone luminosity and (another with) reduced saturation.

Cheers,
Bart

My thoughts:

1. Shoot with a gold reflector.
2. Google bronzing skin and look for tutorials. Not sure any of them would get you there 100%, but I bet you might be able to get a good idea.

Google Dave Hill effect.

Some variation of that may be what you are looking for.

It is quite possible that a Gradient Map layer has been used
