Vampy look: grey smokey eyes and red lips

I've started with priming my eyes with a black creamy eyeshadow. I used Maybelline Color Tattoo 24H cream in shade 60 Timeless Black. I applied it on my lash line and the moving part of my lid with a brush and I blended it outwards and upwards up to my eye socket. Applying black creamy base makes all the black eye shadows stay in place, it makes them more intensive and it avoids creasing and fall outs through the day (or night). Next I blended the edges with a matte light warm brown eye shadow. I used Revlon Colorstay in shade 05 Hazelnut. This was my transition color. Then I applied a matte black eye shadow all over my eyelids with a stiff flat brush. I used Rimmel Glam eyes eyeshadow in shade 214 Jet Black. I applied this same eyeshadow into my crease as well using big fluffy blending brush. I applied just a bit at the time and kept blending over the light brown I applied earlier to achieve nice diffuse effect.
Then I applied the same creamy eyeshadow on my lower lash line and the same black matte eyeshadow on top of it. I made sure everything is blended nicely. Then I applied the light brown eyeshadow below the black one to create a nice transition of colors. I wanted to achieve more 'vampy' look with big spooky-looking eyes.
When I was finished with eyeshadow I lined my waterline (top and bottom) using Essence Long Lasting eye pencil in shade 01 Black Fever. Then I applied a liquid liner on my top lash line and I extended it in my inner and outer corners. I used Catrice Liquid Liner Waterproof  in shade 010.
Then I moved to the rest of my face. I first primed my T-zone and cheeks (basically are where I have enlarged pores) with Smashbox Photo Finish foundation primer. Then I applied a very thin layer of MAC Pro Longwear concealer in shade NC15 all over my face and I blended it with  beauty blender sponge. I applied a bit more under my eyes to conceal any dark circles. I set everything with a loose white setting powder from Grimase. Then I contoured under my cheekbones a bit using Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow in shade 05 Hazelnut. I discovered this works amazing as a contour powder as well and the shade is perfect for my complexion. Next I defined my brows using a black brow pencil by Essence and some clear brow gel to set everything in place. I also applied some mascara.
Then I applied red liquid lipstick on my lips (from brand W7). I overlined them slightly. Then I outlined them using the  black eye pencil (Essence Long Lasting in shade 01 Black Fever). Then I blended the black line with the applicator from the liquid lipstick with a tiny bit of a product on it. When the liquid lipstick dried I applied the top gloss layer on top of it.
