Dark Eyes and Lips 

Equipment Needed:

  • Eyeshadow Primer
  • Eyeshadows - Green, Blue and Black
  • Mascara
  • Disposable Mascara Wands
  • Flat Brush
  • Small Blending Brush
  • Large Blending Brush
  • Gel Eyeliner and Eyeliner Brush
  • Lipliner
  • Lipstick 
  • Lip Brush
  • Concealer and concealer brush
  • Lip Primer (Optional)
Step By Step for Eyes:
  1. Firstly start by applying an eyeshadow primer as this will help to intensify the eyeshadows and will prevent the eye makeup from creasing.
  2. Once the primer has been applied start by using a matt green shadow in the crease to act as a transition colour - this will help the other eyeshadows to blend better.
  3. After the transition colour has been applied. Apply a green/blue shimmer eye shadow at the inner part of the lid - this will bring light to the eye.
  4. Using a darker shade of green and using a small blending brush begin blending this into the crease follow this will a little black eyeshadow - this will help to make it look smokey.
  5. With a clean fluffy brush blend everything together until it looks seamless. 
  6. (Optional) Apply a black gel eyeliner to the upper lash line.
  7. Finish off with a couple of generous coats of black mascara - make sure to use a disposable wand.


Step By Step for Lips:
  1. (Optional) Apply and thin layer of a lip primer as this will help to prevent the lipstick from feathering/bleeding.
  2. To create a crisp line start by lining the models lips as this again will help to prevent bleeding and also will give a nice base for the lipstick - Make sure to sharpen the lip pencil as this will help with the application process.
  3. Using a lip brush apply the lipstick.
  4. To clean up any dodgy lines use a bit of concealer on a concealer brush to fix any mistakes.


Personal Analysis 
I really enjoyed creating this look as I personally love applying eyeshadow and creating new looks. I think I did a good job with the eyeshadow as the eyeshadow was well blended and had a gradient. One thing I think I need to improve on is using lipliner because looking at the images again I think I could have been slightly neater.
