Sunset Eye Tutorial

Yay!  First tutorial!  Whoo!

So today, I'm going to show you how to create a sunset eye.

First step is to prime your eye.  If you do not have a primer (like me), then just use a matte white eye shadow for the base.  During this time, if, like me, you have attention hoggers for hair, pin them back out of your face so they don't keep trying to steal the show.

Step 2:  Apply yellow to the entire lid area.  It doesn't have to be completely perfect, just make sure that it's on you lid.

Step 3:  Apply orange on the inner and outer thirds of your eye then connect at the top above the yellow.  You don't have to worry about blending just yet, but if you feel inclined to, then blend by patting the color.

Step 4:  Apply red to the inner and outer corners.  Once again, you don't have to blend just yet.

Step 5:  Apply black to the crease of your eye.  Mainly focus on the outer part of the crease and fade out.  Like I've already said, don't worry about blending.

Step 6:  On the brow bone, apply white.

Step 7:  Now you get to blend!  Use a blending brush for this.  Make small circular motion to blend the black in with the white and for the lid, blend by going up and down with the brush.  Don't go from side to side because then the colors will mix as one instead of fading into the other.  If the colors have faded or worn off during the blending, reapply them using a patting motion and blend the colors together while applying.

Step 8:  Apply purple to the outer part of the lower lash line.  I suggest using an angled eyeliner brush to do this but you can use any brush you choose.

Step 9: Using black eyeliner, line the upper lash line as well as the lower water line and smudge.

Step 10:  Apply black mascara to the lashes and you're done!

And there you have it!  I'm sorry for the bad lighting, dull colors and the crazy eyebrows.  I'll redo this tutorial when I'm back home from my dad's.  The dull colors are due to not using primer (which is at home) and the lighting.  I was going to do a tutorial on plucking eyebrows, but my tweezers went MIA and I think my dad is holding them hostage in his bathroom.  Hopefully, once I can save them from the horrors of his bathroom, I'll be able to to the tutorial and you won't have to suffer looking at my little caterpillars.

Have a great day!
