grapes & oranges


.....
*Again, pardon the brows. I got them done today, so no more yucky hair!
*For some reason, my camera didn't pick up much definition
in the coloring of this look. In reality, the crease is much more defined.


[how to get this look]

step one:
Prime entire eyelid and just beneath lower lash line.
step two:
With a purple pencil liner, draw a rounded crease shape.
The thicker your draw this, the higher the intensity.
Use your finger to soften and blend the pencil.
step three:
Draw a line of NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk just
beneath the purple eyeliner and inner 3rd of your eye.
Blend and soften with finger.
step four:
Apply a satin silver-purple to the lid, avoiding
the crease and inner 3rd, in a patting motion
with a medium sized, all over shadow brush.
step five:
With the opposite side of the same brush,
blend shadow down the the inner 3rd of eye.
step six:
Blend a true purple into the crease above eyeliner
with a rounded crease brush. At this point you
can decide how blended you'd like your shadows to be.
Bring shadow 1/3 to 1/2 way along lower lash line.
step seven:
With a clean blending brush, soften edges of shadow.
step eight:
Reapply Milk to inner corner and blend along upper
and lower lash line with a flat brush.
step nine:
Place a shimmery orange over tear duct
and along inner 3rd of lash line with a flat brush.
step ten:
Using a stiff, flat brush, loosely line remainder of lash
line with a medium brown. Cover this shadow with a
matte orange. Blend both oranges using the same
flat brush you used to apply the shimmery orange.
step eleven:
Wipe off the stiff, flat brush. Now, tight line upper
lash line with a soft black to increase definition.
optional:
To increase depth of crease, softly blend a soft black
over the purple. Concentrate black into the crease
as much as possible. Start light and increase color
as necessary, allowing purple to peek through above
black. Remember, you are not covering purple,
the black should be sheer enough to simply
intensify the purple shadow.
step twelve:
Mascara and done!

That's all for now! Stay beautiful!
