How to create the look step by step:

Face:
Clean and prep skin with moisturizer. Apply concealer on the dark circles around the eye and cover red spots if necessary with a green corrector. Now its up to you if you apply the foundation with a sponge for a more natural look, or with a foundation brush. Set foundation with transparent loose powder, apply more on the eye area for the following eye shadow base to last better and longer and on your T-Zone as well for highlighting. Now you have your "blank page" ready to be colored ;)

Eye shadow base:

Color your whole eyelid with a black shade stick till brow bone and apply white kajal under your eyebrows. Blend with your finger so that no harsh, black edges show.
Apply the purple eye shadow pen on the transition where you will apply the purple eye shadow later and blend as well. We use an eye shadow pen instead of powder eye shadow for the shimmery glossy and colorful effect.

Eye shadow, liner, mascara

Before you start, apply lots of loose powder under your eye, don’t blend. This is very important, because falling eye shadow can ruin your whole foundation. (you can apply the foundation after the eye makeup, too if u like)

Cover the white base with white eye shadow and the black one with black eye shadow.
Apply purple eye shadow on your eye shadow pen (the transition between black and white) and blend very well with a blending brush, without covering the white totally! The blending is the most important and trickiest part of a smoky eye makeup so do this really carefully! After you blended all the edges, rim your inner eye with black kajal and smudge into lash line. Apply black liquid eyeliner on top lash line, purple eye shadow pen on bottom lash line - - make sure to keep the bottom line clean and straight. Once again, apply black eye shadow over top eyeliner and blend with the purple. Final step: Curl eyelashes and apply 2-3 coats of mascara, fill in eyebrows and brush in place. Brush away loose powder - Et voila!

Now you can apply blush on your cheekbones and lipstick/gloss.
Because of the colorful eye makeup, avoid strong colors on your lips. Less is more!
