Tutorial: Sultry Eye Look (very pic heavy!)

Here is the much requested tutorial for the look I did for Pop Champagne's Rockstar Contest

These are most of the products I used:

Step 1: After priming your eyes with eyeshadow primer (I used Urban Decay's Primer Potion in Eden), pat on black eyeshadow with a flat eyeshadow brush. I used my $1 e.l.f. eyshadow brush

Bring the color up to just under your browbones, don't go too far over the crease because you will blending it later. Don't worry if the lines aren't perfect, because like I said, you will be blending it quite a bit

Step 2: Apply a dark silver shade directly on top of the black shadow. This will give you the edgy effect of the black shadow without it looking to gothic.

Step 3: Line your lower lashline with the same steps, first the black, then the silver shadow. Bring the shadow all the way into the inner corners of your eyes

Step 4: Highlight your browbones with a sheer white shadow. I used the yellow shade from my NYX Jazz Night palette. It looks yellow but it's actually a soft white color when applied

Step 5: Here's the fun part-blending! Blend the eyeshadow up and onto the lower part of your browbones, alternating short circular and windshield wiper motions. Use a semi stiff blending brush, like my Sonia Kashuk brush

Don't forget the lower lashline as well

This is what it should look like so far:

Step 6: Line your upper and lower lashlines with black gel liner. I used Maybelline's Lasting Drama gel liner. Also line your lower waterline as well. Be sure to use a liner that you are comfortable applying so that you don't mess up and have to start all over again :P

Step 7: Highlight the inner corners of your eyes with a white shimmery pencil or powder (you can use the same one you used on your browbones). I used NYX's Jumbo Eye pencil in Cottage Cheese

Step 8: Apply your concealer and foundation. Since your eyes are so dramatic, stick to a matte finish. Contour your cheekbones by sucking your cheeks in and applying bronzer into the hollows. Apply a light baby pink blush onto your cheekbones above the bronzer

Step 9: Apply a light nude lipstick, I used MAC Myth although in the pictures it shows up as pink

And here's the finished product!

Good luck! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that it wasn't too confusing! Let me know if any of you try this look!

A few tips to remember:

Hold a tissue against your cheek while applying your eyeshadow to prevent fallout onto the rest of your face

This look is very dramatic, so it tends to be better for nighttime, but you can achieve a similar look for daytime by using neutral colors, like browns

Make sure your brows are nice and groomed because there is so much focus on your eyes and your eyebrows are what frame your face

P.S. Omg, I totally just realized that I forgot to apply mascara! Be sure to apply mascara and fill in your brows, but keep them semi-light, you don't want them looking too harsh with your dark eyes.
