Please Note: Throughout the tutorial I will be mentioning the brushes by number so if you need to know what type of brush it is.. just look back up at the brush list to see which TYPE of brush is being used so you can substitute with similar brushes. =)

KAY on to business!

Step 1: Start with a fresh clean and moisturized face!

Step 2: Apply Urban Decay Primer Potion to entire lid like so. I just spread it with my CLEAN finger.

Step 3: Then take #252, apply Fushia Passion onto brush. Apply the CCB to ¾ of the lid all the way to the crease. (Include the crease)

Step 4: Take the mop brush to Stars ‘N Rockets. Apply it over Fushia Passion BUT leave a tiny bit of Fushia Passion untouched by the e/s. (It will help with the blending of the two shades)

Step 5: Take some Grape pigment with #239, like so.

Step 6: Apply (by packing only!) to the corners. Yea, it looks like a dark splotch but that is the whole idea. Don’t worry about going out of your desired shape (we’ll fix that later) But pat the color to the corners.

It should look funky like this!

Step 7: Noooo I’m not going to blend just yet! Take your highlight (my case llama e/s) and pack it on your brow bone. I say pack because it’s going to help with the blending and won’t be so strong the higher up you go.

The result should look something like this.

Step 8:
NOW for the blending part. Take #217 and start blending inwards and into the crease. Take it as far as you would like.
998bc3b1.jpg

I took it ¾ of the way as of right now.

Keep blending inward even though the Grape will lighten up.

Don’t worry. Just blend till you like it. See… I’m happy with the blending here…

Step 9:
You lost some of the intensity of the Grape color once you started to blend it inward.
Take #217 and SOFTLY dip it in the Grape pig….
4e3d603a.jpg

…and apply it from the outer corner and move inward. Go in circular motions in the outer V to darken it. Keep it intense near the crease area or to however you like. Get the Grape color to your liking. (I actually took the Grape over the entire crease this time but very softly on the inner corner portion)
I likey it like this!

Step 10:
Alright.. time for the BLACK!!!! Take Cloud Burst with your pencil brush.
4522c197.jpg

Draw it into your crease but keep it below the Grape color. Take it in as far as you like. I took it all the way.
79bb2244.jpg

Remember start from the OUTSIDE and then IN.
You should have some like this.

Step 11.
Okay… now is the part where you finalize your colors by using your blending brush. Blend the black into the grape to soften the line you drew.

Here is the FINAL shadow look. BBBUUUTTT it IS messy in the outer corners. FIXING time!

Step 12:
Take a Q-tip that is damp with makeup remover.

Swipe away any of the excess you don’t want and create the shape that you want. I take mine to meet the brow line. (If the makes sense).

Step 13:
Line your waterline and upper lash line with Feline kohl.

Notice how the upper kohl line isn’t so smooth… nooo worries:

Step 14:
Take the pencil brush and Smudge that line.

The creaminess of the kohl allows for a great blended liner look.

Step 15:
Take boot black liner and line the upper lash line again, keep it small. (This is optional… it just creates a more dramatic look)

Step 16:
Take the pencil brush again and apply Cloud Burst over the Kohl.
This will keep the Kohl from smudging.

Step 17:
Ohhh noooooo… now to the dreadful dark circles!
25d3a8b0.jpg


Step 18:
Take NC 20 concealer (yep it’s SUPER LIGHT for me… that’s the whole point) and apply it using #224 brush.

Looks like this.

Step 19:
Apply concealer. I love using #187 for a much softer application. I place the concealer on the foil because pick up is easier and it’s easier clean-up AND I don’t have to dot my face which I can’t stand doing.

Step 20:
Apply the powder. I placed MSF Medium plus under my eyes and then NC 42 all over!

Step 21:
CLEAN up those BROWS from the excess powder/concealer.

Step 22:
Use #266 and apply Ground Brown e/s to the brows.

Step 23:
Dip #266 in the grape pigment and apply to the lower lash line but only 3/4th of the way.

Step 24:
WOO HOO cheekie time! Dip #138 into Love Joy and sweep down (like pictured).

Sweep till you get your desired amount.
