Step-by-step: Chrome

I posted this picture the other day:


Today I thought I'd show you how I did the eye makeup, step by step :)

Clean eyelid

I applied a silver colored primer to the lid area...

...and a blue primer above the crease.

To cut my crease, I drew a sharp line with a deep blue shadow slightly above my natural crease. 
I applied some more of the blue eyeshadow towards the outer corner of my eye.

Using a small eyeshadow brush with a little bit of that same blue eyeshadow, 
I started blending out the upper part of the crease color.

I applied a silver eyeshadow to my lid. 
(And made sure to keep the line between the lid and crease looking sharp.)

I applied a mint eyeshadow to the inner corner of my eye and to the lower lash line. 

 I wanted a more cat eye like shape. So, I applied some moisturizer to a cotton round, folded it, and used it to remove some of the eyeshadow at the outer corner of my eye.


I used a white eyeshadow to further blend out the upper part of the crease color and, at the same time, highligt my brow bone. 

I applied some black liner to the outer half of my lash line.

I applied some white eyeliner to my waterline. And, last but not least, I curled my lashes and applied two coats of black mascara to my upper lash line (only one coat on the lower lash line).

False lashes would look great, but I didn't feel like applying them this time ;)

Step-by-step: Light blue & bronze!

I like it when other bloggers do step-by-step tutorials, so I thought I'd do more of them. Let me know if you like them :)

All the eyeshadows I used for this look are by Tick:Tock Cosmetics

So, let's get started!

1. I primed my lid with UDPP, placed a piece of tape from the outer corner of my eye to the end of my eyebrow, and applied a little bit of Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy to my lid and crease:


2. I patted on the first eyeshadow, Run Run Rudolph (LE), to the outer third of my lid and to my crease:


3. I placed my second eyeshadow, Jack Frost (LE), on the middle third or my lid:


4. I placed my third eyeshadow, Frozen in Time, on the inner third or my lid:

5. I blended the colors together:


6. I used another eyeshadow, Brit's First Time, to blend out the crease color. I removed the first piece of tape and placed a new piece a little bit below the first one. I filled in the area between the tape and Run Run Rudolph with a green eyeshadow called O, Christmas Tree (LE). I applied the green eyeshadow with a damp brush because I wanted maximum color payoff: 


7. I lined the rest of my lower lash line with Frozen in Time, also applied with a damp brush:


8. I lined my upper lash line with a combination of black eyeliner and eyeshadow:


9. I curled my lashes, applied some of my W7 Oh So Waterproof mascara and some false lashes by Ardell (no.305). I also lined my waterline with my NYX eye pencil in Emerald City:


The finished look!
