My blues have been feeling neglected, so thought I'd play with them again
A smoky blue eye is something I hadn't done yet, so here ya go!
What you need:
-217
-219
-224 or 222 (depending on how much eyelid space you have-either would work fine for blending)
-239
-Rollickin p/p
-Gesso
-Tilt
-Contrast
-Black Tied
-Aquadisiac
-Vanilla
-Vanilla pig.
-(optional) Reflects Gold pig.
-black eyeliner pencil
-Loreal creme eyeliner in black
-Mascara
*For a full list of products that I used on my face and lips, the FOTD with more pics is here:

1. Using the 217 brush, apply Rollickin p/p to the lid.
2. Using the 239 brush, apply Gesso from lash to brow.
(It will look somewhat ashen at this point)
3. Using the 239 brush, apply Tilt to outer 2/3 of lid.
*You want to put it on in somewhat of an angle- not just straight down the lid.
*See how I applied Tilt on a diagonal angle
4. Using 239 brush, pick up more Gesso and blend the harsh line out.
Once blended, it should look like this:
5. Using the 217 brush, apply Contrast in the outer V.
*The key is to make an angled line from the crease down to the lashes, holding the brush at a slight angle. Then, start to blend it inwards.
*To get that blended look between Tilt and Contrast, swipe the Contrast inwards over the Tilt.
6. To darken the outer corner, use the 217 brush and add Black Tied over the Contrast.
It should look like this:
7. Using the 224 brush, blend out the crease with Aquadisiac
It should look like this:
8. Using the 239 or 217 brush, highlight under the brows.
*I used Vanilla under the entire brow, then Vanilla pig just under the highest point of the arch.
9. Dip a black eyeliner pencil into black cream eyeliner and line the upper lashline and waterline.
10. Using the 219 brush, blend out harsh eyeliner line.
*You need to put a tissue underneath your eyes, as you WILL have fallout! (I learned the hard way
)
*Marlena's tip for the day: Unless you are doing Arabic makeup, it is best to blend out the eyeliner line as it can be too harsh- esp. if it is black. The 219 dipped in Black Tied or Carbon is perfect for this. (there's my 2 cents)
11. Using the 219, apply Tilt underneath the lower lashes. Then apply Black Tied on the outer 1/2 of the lower lashes.
It should look like this:
12. Curl your lashes.
*Crimp at the base of your lashes, then middle, then top of the lashes. Hold each crimp for about 5 seconds.
*I like the Shu Uemura curler the best
13. Apply mascara and you're done!
*When applying mascara, coat the bottom and top parts of the lashes- this will surround each lash with mascara and create a fuller look.
14. Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you ARE beautiful!!! (Don't forget this step, mkay?!)
15. Optional bonus: Using the 219 brush, apply a white cream or lash glue on the outer corner of each eye, then apply some Reflects Gold piggie.
Thanks for looking ya schweeties!!!
*Forgot to add- if you want to know how I put on my face each morning, the tut for that is here:

I didn't want to bore you with this, since it is the same each day
