To lock in your eyeshadow, be sure to start by applying a primer all over your lid. My personal favorite is the Urban Decay Primer Potion. It works wonders!
Next, apply a lighter base color all over the lid and up through the crease. Take your medium shadow and apply in the crease and outter corner, blending into the center of your lid. Apply your darkest shadow to the outter corner of your eye in a v shape and blend up and out. Apply to the outter half of your crease and blend up to brow bone. Apply an off-white or champagne shadow to your brow bone and inner corner to highlight and make your eyes pop! Take your darkest shadow and lightly apply to the lower lash line, focusing mostly on the outter half of your eye. Blend down for an extra edgy look!
Wing out your liner to create a cat eye and pop some liner on your waterline for depth. I love L'Oreal's liquid liner for my top lash line and Revlon ColorStay for my waterline. Add mascara and false lashes to bring the whole look together!
Just a few extra tips before you have all the tools to complete this look, no makeup artist required! First, when applying your liquid liner, make the line thinner in the inner corner and middle of your eye and thicken once you hit the outter corner and wing. This will elongate your eye and add instant drama! Pat on a matte black eyeshadow over your liner to ensure it won't budge. Hold a tissue under your eye when working with dark shadows to avoid fallout. Lastly, all three Urban Decay Naked palettes are amazing for creating smokey eye looks. Try Naked 1 or 2 for a sultry, edgy look and Naked 3 for a soft, romantic smokey eye!
