Tape Trick For A Super Clean Line:

When I Mention An Area Of The Eye This Is A Diagram Of Where I'm Talking About

TUTORIAL:

First you want to do all your prepping. You don't want to just wake up and start putting your makeup on because that's going to breed bacteria in your makeup and on your brushes and sponges. Your makeup also lasts longer and looks better if you use a clean and moisturized but oil free "canvas." So wash your face and moisturize or whatever your skin care regimen is. I use the proactive system usually but lately I've had to use st ives exfoliating scrub and proactives advanced oil control lotion to help control my oil output since that all but wipes out my makeup by mid day. Also don't do your face makeup until after your eyes are done because every eyeshadow has some fall out and even If you can't see it it makes a dark shadow under and on the side of your eyes. We will clean up and I can and will prove this to you later on.
Also, unless otherwise specified use your crease brush in a back and forth windshield wiping motion just at the top of and above your natural crease. This widens your eyes, especially if you have hooded eyes. If you for some reason want your eyes to look smaller just keep it in your natural crease. THEN when you're in your outer third and outer V you will use your crease brush or fluffy blending brush or whatever brush you prefer and apply eyeshadow in small, fluffy, circular motions. Next, when you're applying to your lid (the inner two thirds of your eye lid), your inner v and your inner eye area next to your nose you will use a soft patting motion. In your arch, waterline, anywhere you put eyeliner, you will use a drawing motion. You will literally be drawing straight lines. You can use that same liner brush or thin shadow brush to blend the arch back and forth after that. In your under eyebrow area under your brow but right at the top of your crease color you will use a large fluffy brush and a soft and wide swiping outward motion. You will also always tap off excess shadow with each dip into your makeup because the idea is to slowly build and blend colors not accidentally add too much and try to figure out a way to fix it. It just looks nicer this way. Don't forget unless otherwise specified you always blend your shadows after application. If your asked to blend from the outer v into the crease you will start with small circular motions then move into windshield wiper motion. You always blend in the manner you applied.

Next add concealer on your lids to right under your brows. Then add a colorless eye or face primer to your brows and do your brows as usual and then set them with a setting powder and line all around the edges of the brow, but only on your skin with concealer and blend in carefully. All of these things help keep brows in place all day. Then add eye primer to your lids.

Step Two: with your crease brush put Almond Truffle just above your natural crease.

Step Three: with the same brush and in the same place but also into the top of your natural crease put the color Black Currant On top of that put more mocha and blend.

Step Four: now with a dense shadow or blending brush grab Black Currant  again and pat it into your outer third, outer V and blend into the crease all the way in. 

Step Five: my camera didn't flash here sorry but from the Serpentina I grabbed a true matte purple with the same brush I used in the previous step and put it in the exact same place as previous step and blend. The color is Venom.

 Step Six: Now back to the Bon Bons Palette I grab Dark Truffle and put in outer third and blend into outer half of crease. Then blend a little Mocha into top of crease for transition shade.

                    
Step Seven: I Then grab my shadow brush and the color Sprinkles and pat it onto inner two thirds of lid just to the beginning of the purple line. I Then add a second layer for more color.

Step Eight: with my clean shadow brush I pat Black Currant on outer third just to darken it back up then with my blending brush I grab Mocha and black currant together and blend it all into the crease. Then I add Bordeaux into outer V and outer fourth of crease. Blend slightly. Then I added Ankh from Serpentina Palette but you could use Earl Grey from Bon Bons and draw a thin line into outer V. Blend only into outer half of natural crease. 

Then I added a small bit of Satin sheets on the lid on top of Sprinkles to brighten everything up.

Step Nine: now with my fluffy brush I use Divinity from the top of the crease color to the arch of the brow and in the inner eye. Then with a thin tipped brush I draw a thin line with Satin Sheets in arch of brow out to end of brow, in inner V and inner eye and in waterline on the bottom just until the lashes start.

Now for liner: With a liner brush I grabbed Ankh but you can use any dark black or brown shadow and tightlined my top lash line and bottom waterline. Then I grabbed Venom again and lined only the bottom lashes. After this I add liquid liner for a winged liner look and grabbed Ankh Again and patted it over the winged liner for a dark liner look. For a not so dark look I recommend tightlining with a shadow and possibly skipping lining the bottom lashes or only lining with venom or Black Currant. Then still add winged liner and a black or dark shadow on top to keep the liner in place especially if it's liquid. 

Take your finger, a tissue or a q-tip and clean out all black or dark shadow from the inner eye and bottom lash line where there are no lashes and re line that area with Satin Sheets if necessary.

Now if you didn't use the tape method and even if you did grab a makeup wipe or my go to, a tissue with lotion or baby oil on it and wipe side of eye all the way to hairline and under eye all the way to cheek and anywhere you see eyeshadow or a dark shadow. Do this even if you don't see anything since there's always a little fallout and this will help you keep the area bright and not make yourself look tired. 

 We are going for a sexy and seductive look here, not the I've been up for a week straight with my new baby type of look. Even if that is the case. ;)

Now I add two coats each of two different mascaras since it gives me unprecedented length and thickness on my blonde, stubby lashes. I only barely touch the bottom lashes at the ends just to darken them because I don't want them to look spiderey and if you add mascara thickly to those lashes it makes your eyes appear smaller and nobody wants that. I usually don't even wear it on my bottom lashes but since we are going for drama it helps to darken it up a bit.

 Now that my eyes are finished and cleaned up I start the rest of my face. I spray my airbrush foundation then pat it all over with my fingers. Any foundation starts from the middle out in a patting motion. Remember that. Then I add my powder foundation and conceal under eyes and acne. To conceal acne I suggest using clean hands. Using a brush could blog or infect the area with more bacteria or add bacteria and oil that you could spread to the rest of your face so this is one time I seriously suggest using your finger for any site or pimples. 
Next I contour for a nontoured look on my cheeks and sides of nose only. I also then add the contour shade down the sides of my neck and around the tops and sides of my breasts depending on what's showing so my face doesn't look like the skin doesn't match the skin on my body.
 I Then add blush lightly on the apples of my cheeks only. Then I blend outwards and upwards towards temples and hairline. Then I add highlight to cheekbones up to temples, mid forehead and chin, cupids bow above mid lip, and then add a touch on inner eye, arch of brow and top of breasts and neck bones to tie it all together. Then I grab a Kabuki brush and brush it all over my face to blend. 
 You can then add a setting spray or powder but at this point I'm feeling like I have a ton of makeup on so I didn't lol just being honest.
Last but not least I added my fav liquid lipstick in a matte shade and I'm done.
