STEP 1

Prep the skin and powder the eyes. Take a gold eye shadow and, using a Deluxe Oval Shadow (Brush No.10), apply to the eyelid, just up to the eyebrow bone. Keep the shape rounded.

Then, using a Detail Point Shader, (Brush No.9), apply the gold eye shadow about one third of the way along the lower lash line, starting at the inner corner of the eye. Don’t extend along the whole lash line.

STEP 2

Using a matt aubergine eye shadow on a Detail Point Shader (Brush No.9), intensify the remaining outer two-thirds of the lower lash line, the outer third of the upper lash line, and then with the remainder of shadow left on your brush, create a soft socket.

PRO TIP 

If you have trouble blending, pick up the first brush you used (Deluxe Oval Shadow – Brush No.10) with the gold eye shadow to help blend.

STEP 3

Take a dark violet eye shadow and go over the matt aubergine colour from Step 2 using a Detail Point Shader (Brush No.9).

Using a wet cotton bud, clean up any fallout, or you can use a makeup wipe. This is also a good time, if you have dry eyes, to use eye drops as the following steps are quiet dramatic. There is nothing worse than completing your eye makeup then needing eye drops which may run and smudge your makeup.

STEP 4

Apply a full lash and then apply a black liquid gel eyeliner really close to the lash line – mainly to hide the base of the eye lash.

Apply liquid foundation all over.

Contour and highlight (refer to the Contouring chapter and the Highlighting section). Then finish with a nude lip gloss.

STEP 5 (OPTIONAL)

Heavily line the inner waterline with a pale blue matt pencil. 

Using a Precision Bent-Liner (Brush No.15), apply gold eye shadow to the inner corner ‘V’ of the eye. Then, using a Medium Point Shader (Brush No.8), intensify the socket and the outer lash line. 

Finish off with a matt hot orange lipstick.
