Everything used to create this look:

I already applied my foundation and powder using Lorel's True Match:

Next I applied a loose powder under my eyes to catch any fall out from the eyeshadows [I used Cover Girl]:

Line the inner and upper portion of the upper lash with Almay's eyeliner crayon contour:

Now add an addition white liner using NYC white eyeliner pencil, overtop the black liner [For me this helps to high light the bottom portion of my lid]:

Apply Urban Decay's Primer Potion all over the lid, gently blending in the white liner:

Apply MAC's "Vanilla" from the inner corner to the middle of the lid with an eyeshadow brush of your choice [I used my Smashbox eyeshadow brush, part of the Rapture collection]:

Now apply Urban Decay's "Flash" from the middle to the outter corner of the lid, once again using a brush of your choice:

Now take the darkest purple from Cover Girl's eye enhancer's set and blend in with "Flash", this will give it a darker look. I'd rather start off lighter and gradually make it darker then to start off darker and try to make it lighter:

Take "Flash" with a blending brush, I used the one from my Smashbox collection, and begin to blend flash into the "Vanilla" and darker purple:

Now use MAC's "Nehru" with a contour brush, and begin to blend into the outter "V", making the eye look alittle more smokier on the ends:

Using MAC's "Vanilla" again, with a blending brush, hilight the brow bone also slightly blending the edges:

Now take "Vanilla" again, using a thin tipped brush [I acutally think mine is meant for the lips, but it works good for this part lol] and high lights right about the lashes:

Now its time for liquid eyeliner, I'm using Almay's, I line just the upper lid. You can make the line as thin or a thick as you'd like, thats a personal preference. You also may need to wipe off the lashes afterwards with your fingers, sometimes liquid eyeliner can be a bit messy:

If your line isn't perfect, thats okay. Take "Vanilla" with a small angeled brush and slowly fix any imperfections but just lining over top of them until your line looks straight:

Next line the lower lashes with white eyeliner on under the lashes and black inside the lashes:

Use "Vanilla", "Flash", Cover Girls dark purple, and "Nehru" overtop of the white liner, starting with "Vanilla" on the inner corner first. You are using the same color scheme and concept as the upper lid, blending as you go along:

Mascara time. I use Cover Girl's Lash Blast for the first coat, and then apply L'oreal's Clean Definition Telescopic in as many coats as you would like. I like to achieve thicker lashes so I applied around 3 or 4 coats. Don't forget to do the bottom lashes as well:

And this is what you should get in the end:

I also used Urban Decy's "Ransom" during some of the blending:

I love how you mixed in drug store with higher end brands.
I may need vanilla after this since you used it so much and it doesn't look chalky like I thought it would look on me.
