Someone requested a tut on this look on another board, so I thought I'd post it here aswell

Products used:
- MAC prep + prime face
- MAC sff foundation in NW20 + a bit of NW35
- Make up store cover all mix
- MAC blot powder loose
- Make up store tri brow
- UDPP
- MAC sharkskin shadestick
- MAC dark soul pigment
- MAC fairylite pigment
- MAC blacktrack fluidline
- MAC graphblack technakohl
- MAC plush lash mascara
- H&M brow fix
- FOB eyeshadow brush
- Japonesque eyeshadow brush
- MAC #208 brush

Put on your foundation, concelaer and set with powder. Apply UDPP to lids and blend with your fingers. Add some loose powder underneath your eyes to catch up any fallout eyeshadow.

Grab your sharkskin shadestick. It works fine with a kohl eye liner aswell if you don't have sharskin.

Apply sharkskin to lids in the rouge shape that you want your black eyeshadow to be.

Pick up some dark soul on your eyeshadow brush

Apply it to your lids over sharkskin

It should look something like this. Left eye has dark soul applied over sharkskin, right eye is sharkskin only.

Grab some more dark soul and gently apply some outside the sharkskin shape, add a little bit at the time so you don't go overboard!

When you're done, it should look something like this:

Pick up some fairylite pigment on your other eyeshadow brush

Apply it to the brow bone and inner corner of eye, near the nose bridge.

Blending time! Gently blend any sharp lines, don't over-do it thogh; the original shape should still be visible.

All blended! I added some more dark soul to enhance the shape even more. Brush off the loose powder and clean up any fallout in the inner corner of the eye with a q-tip.

Fill in your brows. Well defined brows is a must for this look.

Line your lower lashline with graphblack technakohl

Line your waterline aswell

Grab your #208 brush and pick up some dark soul on it

Smudge it between your lower lashes and over the eye liner to make it smokier and to fill in the gap between the lower lash liner and the waterline liner

Line your upper lashline with blacktrack fluidline and #208 brush

Also, put some graphblack outside the inner corner of your eye to frame the eye completly

It should look something like this

Last step is to add two layers of plush lash mascara...

...and you're done!

Gorgeous, frames your eyes perfectly!

I also love that this doesn't use half a MAC counter to reproduce.

Excellent.

It's a smokey eyes tut but your skin looks so perfect

perfectly. Matches perfekt with smokey eyes!

Thanks everyone! Glad you liked it

Dark soul can be a bit wierd to get the hang of, but if you use a dark, sticky base underneath it it goes on beautifully.

Trista · 02-23-2008, 06:42 PM #14 (**permalink**)

Thanks for the tut! Love the look. I'm convinced I need sharkskin shadestick now. Man I'm gonna be broke.

Purity · 02-23-2008, 07:15 PM #15 (**permalink**)

Trista: sharkskin is awesome under dark eyeshadows. At least they don't cost as much in the US as they do over here, I think they charge about $26 for a shadestick here in Sweden...

could you use black tied eyeshadow instead of dark soul pigment to recreate this look??!!

Purity · 02-24-2008, 07:17 AM #17 (**permalink**)

imperfectbeauty: I guess you could, I don't own black tied myself but I think they're quite similar, both have silver glitter in it

flowerhead · 02-24-2008, 07:52 AM #18 (**permalink**)

ooh beautiful, like an arab actress

Look great, thanks.

imperfectbeauty · 02-25-2008, 03:21 AM #24 (**permalink**)

My take on your smokey eye. It could be much better...i think i need to smoke it out a little more but it looked great in person!! i couldn't really get any decent closeups. Here you go

imperfectbeauty: That looks awesome, thanks for sharing!
