[Beauty]...Everybody's got a Dark Side.

"Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it..."

-Kelly Clarkson "Dark Side"

I posted this picture on my Instagram the other day and I thought I would let you know what I was wearing (Since I don't normally wear this type of makeup : )

Eyes:

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette (Here)

Maybelline EyeStudio Quad in 55 Smokey Night

Sugar Pill Loose Eyeshadow in Royal Sugar (Here)

Urban Decay Zero Eyeliner (Here)

(Urban Decay Perversion would be good too)

1. Using Naked 2 as my blending color I applied it to my crease with a fluffy brush.

2. Taking the Dark Blue from the Maybelline Smokey Night quad and using a patting motion I lightly packed the color onto my lid up to the crease (top of the eye socket) - being careful not to use too much of a sweeping motion because the fall out is RIDICULOUS.

3. Again with my blending brush and no additional color lightly blurred the edges.

4. With the same blending brush I lightly dipped into Crave and applied to the outer corner and blended.

5. Taking a freshly sharpened ZERO (any black eyeliner will work) I applied to my waterline, tight line and also top lash line creating a bit of a cat eye.

(I used a dark brown for my bottom lash line but used black in the waterline - it's not noticeable in photos but I think it makes a difference in person especially if you have naturally dark eyes like me. I usually use Urban Decay Whisky or Milani Liquifeye in Brown. You can see this done in many of my video tutorials.)

6. I applied Venus with a flat shader brush to my brow bone as well as the inner part of my eye as a highlight and blended down.

7. Grabbing some Sugar Pill Royal Sugar Loose Eyeshadow with my finger I dapped it on the center of my lid and also used it along the beginning part of my lower lash line (finishing off the tail of the lower lash line with the brown eyeliner and some of the Navy Blue color from the Maybelline palette) again being careful of fall out.

8. Relined my top lash line with ZERO to cover any of the excess blue that may have gotten onto my original line.

9. Finished off with mascara (lashes are optional)

Sounds like a lot of work but since it's not very structured or precise it was actually rather quick.

Both my boyfriend and I really enjoyed this look! The depth of the two different blue colors and the subtle sparkle when the light hit just right was quite pretty.

It's always fun to play around with something different.

Don't be afraid to channel your inner D A R K S I D E ; )

Talk to you soon!
