So I got a couple requests to do a tutorial on the look I did two posts down. My end result today didn't show up EXACTLY like the previous EOTD, but it's close enough and it's the same colors and same concept lol so please forgive me =)

Start off with a clean eye. Then prep your eyelids with a base. First put UDPP all over the eye area and after, put the MAC CCB in Pearl on top of that.

Put loose powder under your eyes to catch any fallout. Looks dumb! But it works ! lol. I used NYC Smooth Skin Loose Powder in Translucent.

I take my Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow brush and take the left side color of the ‘showy’ duo and put it all over my lid extending a little past my crease.

Take Smut e/s with the MAC 217 brush (my new favorite blending brush, perfect for the crease!) and apply Smut on the crease while blending in the two shadows with back and forth motions, I guess you can say little ‘windshield wiper’ motions lol. I know in the previous step the color shows up to be a BRIGHT blue!! The color is a little off thanks to my camera (damn you camera!) When you blend in the Smut, the color turns into a more teal-y turquoise-y color like in this pic.

Next take your smudger brush and pull the eyeshadow on the crease up and out to blend.

Take your Shroom e/s with the 217 and put it on your brow bone, blending it into the rest of the crease shadow.

Take your MAC 219 ‘Pencil’ Brush and get Smoking e/s and put it on the outer half of your lower lashline and get your Showy e/s and put it on the inner half of your lower lashline and blend the two together.
