Start with a naked eye

Load your brush up with Painterly paintpot. This is going to be the base for our look.
3-5.jpg

Do a light coat of Painterly over your entire lid.

It'll look like this when you finish.

Now, using Delft paintpot, cover the lid and a little bit above the crease. This will serve as a base for the colored part of our eyeshadow and will help to make the violet and teal colors pop.

Open your eyes and apply Delft to the outer lower corners of each.

Sweep some Stars N Rockets on your lid, and only your lid. It needn't be perfect yet though so don't stress if it's not expertly blended at this stage

In fact, it'll look something like this at this point.

Using a fluffy blending brush, sweep Steamy back and forth on the area above Stars N Rockets in and above the crease.

Blend.

Pat some Violet pigment onto your lid. This won't change the color drastically but will add dimenson to your look.

Apply a bit of Black Tied into the corners of your eyes.
13-3.jpg

Using just a littttle bit of Black Tied on your brush, blend that Black Tied in the corners into your crease.
14-4.jpg

Using a big ol' fluffy brush, blend some Vanilla onto your browbone and into the Steamy in your crease.
15-3.jpg

Using a stiff eyeliner brush (I like to use an angled one) line your upper lid with Blacktrack. Don't make the line too harsh, this is a soft and smoky look.
17-2.jpg

Line your waterlines with Blacktrack and curl/mascara your lashes.
18-2.jpg

Fill in your brows with your chosen color.
19-2.jpg

Face time! Dot foundation on your cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead.
20-2.jpg

Blend and add concealor to any trouble spots.
21-2.jpg

Smile and, using a light hand, apply Ablaze blush to the apples of the cheeks in a circular motion. It will look a bit like this. (No flash)
22-3.jpg

Using the same technique, blend in some Northern Lights MSF. Highlight your cheeks with Porcelain Pink.
23-3.jpg

Line and fill in lips with Rosebound lip pencil. This will make Myth a little less white and a bit more pink in tone--it really helps it become more wearable for me.
24-3.jpg

Apply a thin layer of Myth Lipstick.
25-3.jpg

Add lull lipglass and you're done!

thanks!!! for some reason this tutorial just clicked for me! OF all the ones I've looked at I can finally see a way to try my eyeshadow. Maybe it was the color differences. Thanks again

I LOVE this! I've been looking for a look with a violet colour for a wedding I'm going to. I'll have to give this a try!
