Gothic Black-Plum (video)


I've started with the primer (MAC Paint Pot Soft Ochre) all over my eyelid. I concentrated especially on my brow bone area. Then I applied a white matte eyeshadow under my brows to highlight the area. Afterwards I applied matte beige eyeshadow all over my crease and I blended it. This created a smooth texture for blending darker colors (which I was going to do later). I applied a matte medium brown eyeshadow into my crease as well to create dimension and more intensity.
Afterwards I applied the plum-purple color into my crease. I spent a while blending and re-applying till I got the opacity I wanted.
Then I worked on eyelid base. I applied a black kajal eye pencil all over the moving part of my lid - just up to my crease, not higher. I made sure that this layer wasn't too thick and that it was perfectly even. The last thing you want is uneven base because it will cause creasing and it will make the eye shadows look horrible. Then I blended the edges (where my base connected the purple color in the crease) with a matte dark grey eyeshadow. This created a smooth transmission between all shadows. I used a small fluffy blending brush for this. With this step I lost some of the purple-plumy color so I re-applied it again.
Then I applied a super black eyeshadow on top of my lid. It sticked very well because of the black base I created earlier and it didn't crease nor move.
For my lower lid I did pretty much the same - I applied the base with the black kajal eye pencil, then I blended it with the same dark grey eyeshadow. Then I applied purple-plum color beneath and blended it with the beige eyeshadow.
After I cleaned all fall outs and fixed the areas where I blended too far (under my eyes) I put on my gel eyeliner into my waterline, inner corners and top lash line where I winged it slightly towards my brows. Next I blended the purple-plum eyeshadow under my eyes with the beige eyeshadow again to make the color fade out gradually.
Then I applied my foundation - I used foundation stick so application of that is slightly different than of liquid foundation. I drew few strokes in strategic points on my face and I blended them with my fingers. With this technique I didn't apply too much foundation. Then I powdered my entire face and contoured under my cheekbones, jaw and under my chin down to my neck.
Next I did my brows - first I brushed them through with  a spoolie, then I filled them in with a black brow pencil and set it with the dark grey eyeshadow. Then I brushed them through with a clear brow gel in order to give them more natural look and to keep the hair in place.
Next I applied 2 different mascaras to my top and bottom lashes.
The last step was the lipstick - I mixed the darkest liquid lipstick I own with gel eyeliner and I applied it on my lips with a small lip brush.
