1.Prime eyes with painterly p/p and UDPP.

2.Spray Fix + on shader brush and rub...more like attack the Metal X. Such a horrid formula but such a beautiful color. Any dark purple base will work. I think the Bordeauxline pencil would work too. Apply on lid. Blend edge.

3. With 217 take Violet Trance and blend into crease.

4. Same brush, use Nocturnelle and blend into crease, focusing more color on outside and blend in.

5. Spray Fix + on other side of shader brush and foil Violet Pigment on top of Metal-X or your dark base on your lid.

7. Bordeauxline eye pencil on lower lash line. Smuge with Violet trance and Nocturnelle. Line water line with Smoulder. Curl lashes. Add mascara. Obviously, to make this look hotter add falsies. But...I'm lazyyyy.

You're beautiful, and so are the eyes. I just don't like the foundation. Its texture and colour seem not to suit your natural face colour.

Wow...was really a great tutorial. I'm crazy about purple shades

. I've done one smoky eye look myself. This time I've tried blue and green eyeshadows from the Too Faced Smoky Eye Palette.(I don't like these shades but I said to give it a try). You can enter here and see all the details photos and the entire palette.
