Welcome to Gaia! ::

Products I Used
links all lead to product websites

It is by no means necessary to use the same brands and shades that I did. I used products that I think work very well and that I had experience with. Some products are duplicated, I listed them in each category if I used it in that area. I love multifunctional products. xp

Face
Covergirl TruBlend Mineral Powder Foundation in Soft Honey [X]
Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer/Highlighter Perfecting Duo in Medium [X]
Covergirl Clean Pressed Powder in Soft Honey [X]

Bolt Mask
NYC Retractable Kohl Liner in Plum Perfect (for outline) [X]
Cream Makeup/Facepaint in White (purchased at Walmart in the costume aisle, you can also get this from Hot Topic and Gothic specialty stores/sites. A face makeup primer would probably work too, or maybe even a shadow primer.)

Covergirl Eye Shadow Trio in Dazzling Metallics (gold color) [X]
NYC Liquid Eyeliner in Black [X] (for outline; a metallic gold or silver would work too if you have it)

Step Two: Shimmery Smokey Eye

pictures soon... taking them tomorrow smile

Lids
1. Prime lids.
2. Apply a pale turquoise color all over your lids, to slightly above the crease. This will be the undertone to the silver.
3. Apply a medium shimmery silver on top of the turquoise.
4. Apply a darker silver/gray in the outer corners and hollows of your eye, stopping about 2/3 of the way in.
5. Apply a forgiving black or very dark gray in the outer corners. Fan/smoke the darker colors out.
6. Blend all these colors together.
7. Apply a neutral, shimmery highlight under your brow and blend it along the top line of the shadow to smooth it out.
8. Apply a white or pale purple in the inner corner as highlight.
9. Apply a super shimmery pale silver on the ball of your eye. This will make it pop.

Apply glitter if you'd like a little more shimmer, then move on to liner:
1. With an angled brush, line the outer half of your lower eye with the dark gray.
2. Line the inner half with the turquoise color.
3. Run the shimmery silver on top of the turquoise and into the dark gray, about two thirds of the way out.
4. Tightline your eyes with black or blackened blue, and line the outer two thirds of your waterline with it.
5. Line your inner waterline with a white or champagne color so your eyes don't look too close-set or tired. (optional, but recommended...)
6. Line your upper eyes with black, liquid liner. Taper out into a slight cat eye if desired.
7. Apply false lashes if you wish (I didn't), then curl lashes and apply black mascara.

This is really cool! You have such pretty long lashes heart
