Tutorial Contest Winner October 2007 - Purple/Silver Look

[weneedaroom]

What you'll need:
Your foundation/concealor of choice
Painterly paintpot (or any other base that matches your skintone)
Electra e/s
Violet pigment
Jeweltone e/s
Beautiful Iris e/s
Phloof e/s
Carbon e/s
Electrolady liquidlast liner
Posey blushcreme
Glissade MSF
Soar lipliner
Solar Plum l/s
Clear lipglass
Mascara
Brow color


Bare eye, no makeup.

Using either a brush or your finger, apply Painterly paintpot over your entire lid. This will be the base for our look and will help the colours pop and the eyeshadow to stay on forever

I like to use a sponge applicator for this part, and pat Electra on my lid. I think this allows for a lot of color payoff.

Now, take an eyeshadow blending brush, and sweeo some Violet pigment into your crease. Don't worry about blending yet.

Now, with the same type of brush, sweep Jeweltone over Violet. This brightens up the look.

Now apply a TEENSY bit of Carbon (this stuff is dark, you don't need to pack it on the brush or anything) into the corners of your eyes.

Use a tiny bit of Carbon on a brush to blend the purple and silver together like so.

Apply Beautiful Iris, a lighter purple, to the inner corners of your crease and blend to the middle.

Use Phloof, our highlight color, on your browbone and blend it into the purple shadow.

Sometimes, after doing my highlight, I notice my look looks less vibrant. So take just a tiny bit of Jeweltone and sweep and blend it lightly over the upper part of your crease. That should help brighten it up.

Liner time! I like doing a relatively thin line. Electrolady is a liquid liner, and it's one of the sheerer ones in my opinion. I try to do it in one stroke, and then I go over it to make it more opaque. It should then look like the above picture.

Now the liner for the bottom lid. Open your eye as wide as you can and apply a teeny line under the in the very corners. Your lashes will probably get in the way, so it will be a bit sloppy.

That's a bit neater! I used a Revlon makeup remover pen, but a q-tip dipped in makeup remover would work too. Just run it along the edge of the bottom liner to create a cleaner line.

Fill in your brows, curl lashes.

One coat of mascara.

Two coats! Intense eye looks call for heavy mascara.

Okay, now do your foundation routine. Make the obligitory stupid face.

Now, blush. I like to dot some Posey blushcreme on the apples of my cheeks and extended a bit. You don't have to use this much, but I like bright cheeks.

Blend like crazy. Otherwise, you will look like a clown.

Now, using a blush brush, and using a circular motion on the apples of your cheeks, apply Glissade MSF.

Line and fill your lips with Soar lip pencil.

Next is Solar plum lipstick.

And a ton of sheer gloss
All done!!!
