Here you go chickie. Mind you this was at the end of the day (after I woke up from a nap, please forgive the hair!!) and I just took off my eye makeup, so in the beginning picture I'm already wearing:
MAC bronzing powder
NARS torrid
MAC stereo rose skinfinish
A little NARS black mascara
and a little Body Shop lip butter
There are a million variations for this look, so I tried doing a few different things here. Let me know if you have any questions about alternatives!
Tools of the Trade:
Too Faced First Base eyeshadow primer
MAC knight divine e/s
MAC black tied e/s
MAC brush #224
some random cheap e/s brush
NYC black eyeliner
MAC spunsilver glitter liner
Rimmel all over pencil (move)
Rimmel all over pencil (charm)
Aaaaand from the top:
Prep eyes with Too Faced First Base primer (not too much or e/s will crease easily):
Start applying MAC knight divine e/s with brush 224, contouring it along your natural eye shape:
Blend it with your fingas! I think fingers blend better than any blending brush and you have more control this way.
Using your thin e/s brush, line lower lashline with Knight Divine:
Anden, use the same e/s brush and apply a thick line of MAC black tied to the upper lash line, and follow by lining the lower lashline with it as well:
On the top lashline, blend the black tied upwards into the Knight Divine using a Q-tip or some alternative blending apparatus (haha)
Line upper lashline and lower waterline with black eyeliner:
(Glamella- you mentioned having problems lining the waterline. Only certain pencils really seem good for this, and as cheap as it is, NYC brand always works great for this purpose)
Aqui estamos.
Ok, now for the silver.
I used a cheapo brand of whitish/silverish liner because I don't use this color a whole lot so I don't want to blow a bunch of money, but Benefit Mr. Frosty would work really well if you want to spend a few bucks. Use the pencil on the inner corner following your natural eye shape.
I also tried it with gold for the warmer-toned chicks (I don't really like silver on myself). This is with the same Rimmel pencil, in the color "Charm". A more expensive alternative (which I actually forgot I owned until just now) is the Benefit Gilded pencil.
Then I tried adding some MAC glitter liner in Spunsilver to the silver look for something extra-glam:
And because the girls in the original pics all had their contrast turned up way high to accentuate their makeup:
