Once again, THANK YOU. You're compliments always encourage and inspire me.
I was sent a PM asking me to explain how I did this look. I will break it down as best I can =)
I started with Shroom as a wash becasue it's such a neutral color and makes for easier blending. So shroom from lash line to brow bone. Then I took my gorgeous gold and packed decent amount over the lid from lash line to crease with my 239. I got out my trusty 217 and put a generous amount of carbon on it. I started on the outter lower corner of the eye and blended upwards into the crease and downwards into the lash line to make to make that shape and leave some gold on the center of the lid. I used little circular motions and a back and forth feathering motion to blend the carbon into the gold. Then I took my 239 and put some gold mine on it and brightened up the gold a little bit. I put carbon on the lower lashline as well and then took golden lemon pigment and blended it from her lower lashline down to give her a glowy/etheral look. I lined the lash line with some black track, just a thin line will do. I added the lashes then went back over with black track to hide the lash band and finish lining the eye.
What makes the carbon look like that is that I put the gorgeous gold under it rather than doing gorgeous gold on the inner 1/2 or inner 3/4 of the lid and having just the carbon on the outside. Basically you are seeing a bit of the gold under the carbon giving it less of a matte look. (I hope that makes sense... it was a specific question asked)
Her lips are golden lemon pigment mixed into clear lipglass and applied with a lip brush (a good one, not a disposable... the disposables streak when working with pigments)
I hope that helps out for those of you interested in trying out the look =)
