TUTORIAL

 

Start with bare eye :

 

 

 

Step 1 : Apply black gel on upper lash line and smudge upwards using a flat brush.

Apply a very sheer wash concentrating on lash line and outer corner. I am using MAC Blacktrack fluidline.

 

 

 

 

Step 2 : Apply plummy brown matte eye shadow in crease and outer corner.

I have applied MAC eye shadow – Sketch using MAC 217 brush.

 

 

 

Step 3 : Blend the shade in the crease using a fluffy brush.

I have used MAC 222 brush.

 

 

Step 4 : Apply a champagne gold shade on inner corner and inner 1/4th of lid.

I have used MAC eye shadow – Honey Lust using Faces eye shadow brush.

 

 

 

Step 5 : Using an applicator brush, apply a frosty purple eye shadow at the centre of the lid.

I have applied MAC eye shadow – Plum Dressing using The Body Shop mineral eye shadow brush.

 

 

 

 

Step 6 : Add more plummy brown eye shadow in the outer corner and blend the shades using a fluffy brush.

 

 

 

Step 7 : Highlight browbone using a golden-beige eye shadow

I have used MAC eye shadow – Ricepaper using MAC 222 brush.

 

 

 

Step 8 : Line upper lash line and waterline using black gel liner.

I have used MAC Blacktrack fluidline to line using unbranded angular brush.

 

 

Step 9 : Apply the matte plummy brown eye shadow on lower lash line.

I have applied MAC eye shadow – Sketch using Coastal Scents pointed crease brush.

 

 

Step 10 : Finish off with mascara
