After prepping my lids with UDPP, I apply Slate on my lid but only up til the crease. The creamy base will help the glitters to stick better. Then, I blend out Slate with my finger, going slightly above the crease. After that, use my Coastalscents Tapered Crease Brush to apply Matte Black eyeshadow on the outer corner and bring it towards the middle of the crease in circular motions. Using my e.l.f. Eyeshadow Brush, I PAT on the Charcoal eyeshadow and gently blend the edges.

After cleaning my Tapered Crease Brush, I used it again to apply Era right above the crease to smoothen out the harsh black shadow. Then, I followed with Ricepaper as my highlight. I used tape to pick up any glitters and eyeshadow that have fallen on my cheeks. After that, I used a teeny brush to apply Hot Orange along the lower lash line and extended it up towards the upper lash line.

Then, I went over the Hot Orange with the Matte Black shadow so that the orange kinda just peeks through. Yeah, it's kinda pointless.. hmm... I then used a round crease brush (CS) to highlight the inner corners of my eyes with Ricepaper. After that, I applied more Charcoal eyeshadow to connect the top lid with the bottom lash line. Once that's done, I line my upper lash line with Black cream liner. You can use liquid liner if you want.

Moving on to the face.... I mixed one part liquid illuminizer (Revlon) with two parts of foundation in my palm then apply it with a foundation brush. Loads and loads of foundation! It's so thick that it looks super streaky. I buff the foundation with my <3 e.l.f. Studio Powder Brush. I love it more than the MAC 187!!

I loaded up the concealer with Eco Tools concealer brush and basically blend the concealer into my foundation. I also used concealer to smooth out the edges of the eyeshadow so that it looks cleaner. Then, I set everything with silica powder. Jordana Foundation + Silica Powder = perfect match!

I filled in my brows entirely with an eyebrow pencil (I usually do half pencil, half powder). Then I added some Matte White eyeshadow right under the arch of the brow. Before I do my lashes, I popped in my golden blue contacts. Curl them lashes and apply few coats of mascara. It's falsies time! I do a line of lash glue on the back of my hand.

Then I stick the lash spine into the glue and place it along my lash line. I don't have under lashes so I used a fiber lengthening mascara to lengthen to bottom lashes. FINALLY DONE WITH THE EYES!

I did some contouring... not very good at it though. Used an angled cheek brush (Crown) to apply bronzer into the hollows of my cheeks. You can do the fishy face to make it easier. I contoured my jawline as well.

New-Folder-%287%2930.jpg


For my blush, I used my 187SE brush (MAC) and apply the blush right above the contour and brought it a little towards the apples. With a smaller duo fiber brush (Silk Naturals), I applied gold highlight on the cheekbones, nose, chin and over the bow of my lips.

New-Folder-%287%2931.jpg


Last step! The lips... I applied my Circe lipstick and Florabundance lipgloss.

Done!!
