I haven't posted anything here since like... last summer, so I decided to come back with a bang... by doing a tutorial. Of a look that I had never even TRIED before. I was just going to do a FOTD, but I took pictures of the steps just in case it came out nicely and was worth having a tutorial of. Good idea.

YOU NEED!

Your base.
Blacktrack.
Violet pigment.
Carbon.
Knight Divine.
Your highlighting e/s.
Your mascara.

Here, you will see that my eyes are naked.

This is this grey creme shadow from Hot Topic. Earlier today, I saw a tutorial where someone used those, so I thought "hey, I have some of those lying around, I can do that" Or you could just use a normal base all over, as I'm sure that would work just as well or better. Oh, and throughout this tutorial, I have made lots of funny faces, much like the one above. Become accustomed to it.

I put it on up to my crease.

Theeeeen I got the purple one.

I put the purple in and above my crease.

BLACKTRACK.

Apply a thick line of it all over your top lid.

There should be about this much of it.

Then make another thick line on the bottom... said the spaz who can't take pictures of herself applying makeup.

Very 14-year-old scene kid, no? Well, fortunately for those of you reading this tutorial, I am not a 14-year-old scene kid... I am a 16-year-old scene kid, and I am going to continue.

VIOLET!

Apply it in and around the crease. Try not to look half-conscious while doing so.

I are serious Lilien. This is serious makeup.

I don't think there is a joke I can make about this picture that justifies how stupid my expression is. Just get out Carbon... okay?

Apply it on the lid. Don't apply it all the way up to the crease or blend it into the purple.

Apply it on the bottom, too.

Should be about this much of it.

Next, apply Knight Divine between the black and the purple. (Yes, I did have a picture of me holding up Knight Divine and making a silly face at it, but for some reason I left it out.)

Also, apply it on the outer corners, making the dark part "longer." I also lightly patted it over Carbon to see if it would make it look more shimmery.

So far...

After I took this, I applied more Knight Divine because it looked kind of thin in the picture.

Next step is to highlight. I use Phloof!

Highlight and blend it into the purple.

Fill in eyebrows if necessary... I used a medium brown eyeshadow.

I lined my upper waterline and tightlined in my upper lashline using Blacktrack between these steps, but I would probably end up killing myself if I tried to take a picture of that.

Mascara, of course. Mine is a free sample of some Estee Lauder mascara, I can't remember the name.

When finished with the eye makeup, it should go something like this!

Enjoy.

Lookin good! Purples are my favs!! I have a few of those Hot Topic cream eyeshadows and they stain my eyes. Especially the red. I always look sick when I wash my face after wearing it. Does the purple do it too?

I don't think it does.
