Black Eye EOTD

I recently bought M.A.C eye shadows in 'Beauty Marked', 'Hepcat', 'Beautiful Iris' and 'Expensive Pink'. Yes, I've been eyeing a lot of pinks and purples lately. I created my "Black Eye" look using all of the colors except Hepcat. Not sure how to use Hepcat, especially with my pale skin, but I wanted more deep pinks in my palette. If you have any suggestions, please let me know :)

I took these pictures after I got home from work today. Man I was tiiiiired! Get this...it takes me two hours to get to work from door to door. I get to the train station near work this morning, and I realize I didn't have my work i.d. Without it, I can't even get into the building, let alone turn my computer on! Sooooo I took the train aaaallll the way back home, and to the office again. So in total, I spent about SIX hours traveling back and forth on the train. To top it off, it was REALLY busy at work today. Lots of network outages...I was expecting a chill Saturday, but got quite the opposite...booooooooo!

Anywho here's my EOTD, enjoy!
*~*Black Eye*~*
(I like it though)

How-To:
  1. UDPP and M.A.C Paint Pot Painterly as base
  2. M.A.C e/s in Beauty Marked (black with red sparkle) from lash line, extended slightly past crease. Used small, flat eye shadow brush.
  3. M.A.C. e/s in Beautiful Iris (shimmery lavender) above Beauty Marked. Bring it up as high as you want. Blend slightly into Beauty Marked as well, to get that gradient effect. Used same small e/s brush.
  4. M.A.C e/s in Expensive Pink (pinkish gold) from inner corner of eyelid, lined over purple color and into contour. Stop halfway (or contour entire lid w/pink if you like). Used medium pointed detail brush.
  5. M.A.C e/s in Naked Lunch (soft shimmery pink) under brows as highlight. Used medium angled fluff brush.
  6. M.A.C e/s in Cloudbound (white gold) and Pandemonium (matte violet) on lower lash line. Both are from the Pandemonium Eyes Quad. Used small detail brush.

I've been eyeing those colors! But never thought if purples would look good on me. The first purple I actually wore was shiseido's hydropowder violet visions. It gave me the courage to branch out.

About Aoyama Thelma, you're so lucky! I was only managed to meet High and Mighty Colors. My dream is to move to Tokyo and stalk all the jpop/jrock artists.
