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

- MAC plush lash mascara
- H&M brow fix

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
4.jpg


Apply it to your lids over sharkskin
5.jpg


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:
8.jpg


Pick up some fairylite pigment on your other eyeshadow brush
9.jpg


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.
11.jpg


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.
12.jpg


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


Line your lower lashline with graphblack technakohl
14.jpg


Line your waterline aswell
15.jpg


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


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
17.jpg


Line your upper lashline with blacktrack fluidline and #208 brush
18.jpg


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


It should look something like this
20.jpg


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

...and you're done!

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.

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

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...

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
