Step One: Apply a small amount of eye shadow primer to your lid. We use FaceFront Survival Paint.
Step Two: Mix your black pigment with a drop of Heavenly Naturals Mix Drops. Using your Sigma SS252 Shader Brush apply this carefully to your upper eyelid from the inner corner, right across to your outer lid. Create a point out past your crease, keeping in line with your lower water line. This creates the basic shape of your eye shadow look.
Step Three (optional): Using the other side of the same brush, apply Heavenly Naturals Eye Pigment in Emo on top of the base black. This is a matte colour which is what we need in this look. Take care when using this dark colour to avoid black fall out on your cheeks. Make sure you tap excess pigment off the brush before applying. Check out our other hints for fall out in our blog.
Step Four: Using your Sigma SS266 small angle brush or your Sigma SS209 eye liner brush, apply Coastal Scents Gel Liner in True Black or Stellar right across your lower lid, in a line close to the lash line. Before the liner dries, smudge it out with the same brush dipped in a small amount of black pigment.
Step Five: Take your Sigma SS239 eye shading brush and blend Heavenly Naturals Mineral Eye Pigment in Diva to the edges of the black, taking this colour higher up on your lid and past the outer corner of your eye. Bring this colour down under the eye by blending it into the black on the lower lid. Use a clean, dry Sigma SS224 blending brush to really diffuse the colour out.
Step Six: Diffuse the bright violet into your skin by using a highlight colour with your Sigma SS275 angled shading brush. Apply both under the brow, and underneath the eye. Use the highlight colour to sharpen the lower line of the point at the outer corner of your eye.
Step Seven: Using your Sigma SS219 pencil brush, apply Heavenly Naturals Mineral Eye Pigment in Bubbles to the inner corner of your eye, blending up and down from the point. This shimmery white pigment, with purple highlights gives your eyes a more youthful appearance, and will make your eyes pop!
Step Eight: Using your Sigma SS266 small angle brush or your Sigma SS209 eye liner brush, apply Coastal Scents Gel Liner in True Black or Stellar to your lower water line.
Step Nine: Apply your favourite false lashes and mascara, and you’re ready to go!
Don’t forget to apply a nude lip colour so you don’t detract from your eyes. We recommend Coastal Scents Smacks Lip Gloss. Check out our Handy Hint blog entry on the Perfect Lip.
