Plum

This is a extremely dark makeup look. This can be pulled of by anyone and is not the hardest look to complete. So shall we get to the products and our SBS (step by step tutorial on page?)
Products:
•Mac brush- 239,217,212
•Mac Paint pot in Painterly
•Mac e/s- Satellite dreams (lid), Sketch (crease), Carbon (Inner V), Gesso ( Highlight)
•NYC unnamed liner in Pearl black

Step 1: Using any finger apply a primer. Make sure to blend it in and apply it all over your lid. I am using Mac Paint pot in Painterly.

Step 2: Grab your 239 brush and go into Satellite dreams. In a patting motion (up and down) apply this shade to your eyelid. You can apply as much as this dark purple as you want, for a extra "ompf" I added Hepcat right on top. I applied it in a patting motion just like Satellite dreams. Hepcat is no longer sold by MAC!

Step 3: Using a 217 blending brush go into Sketch. In a window shield motion blend the burgundy color into the dark purple. For more depth to the look I blended in Carbon. Using the same motion this shade should blend in fast.

Step 4: Using any eyeliner line your eyes like normal. Then extend the line a bit out so it makes a "Cat eye effect" make sure it is a straight line! In the corner of your eye make a triangle then connect it to the upper lash line. To make this look a bit more fluent looking I lined the lower lash line with black. I used Mac Carbon and I lined with a 212 brush from Mac too. 

Optional: I used mac Gesso and highlighted my brow bone and inner corner.

1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.


Almost done removing ;]
