New Year's Eve Eye Makeup - Picture Tutorial

I know, I know...I haven't posted in a while.  It is so hard for me to keep up with this while I am working.  I am not working right now, but that is due to some pretty serious health issues.  So that also took priority over beauty blogging.
However, one of my online friends (Vicky) suggested I do a tutorial on this look when I posted in on Instagram on New Year's Eve.  It's a look I would really wear whenever...but I like bold, sparkly looks.  I hope you like it  :)



1.) Prime your lids.  I'm using Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion.

2.) Pat a gunmetal/silver color onto your lid.  I used Silver Screen by MAC (which is a pretty crap eyeshadow, but I did spend like $20 on it :| )


3.) Pack a teal color into your crease.  I used Jealousy Wakes by MAC.  This was a limited edition eyeshadow created by Christine from Temptalia.  If you go here or here, you can find dupes/similar shades.


4.) Blend it out!

5.) Pack a black eyeshadow into your outer crease.  I used the black shade in the Inglot 120R Rainbow Eyeshadow Single.  Then blend it out (I didn't take a picture of the blending).


7.) Blend out the edges of the Jealousy Wakes with a matte eyeshadow close to your skin tone to reduce the harshness of it.  I used Brulee by Wet n Wild.


8.) Highlight your brow bone and the inner corner of your eye.  I used the pearl Inglot Eyeshadow Single in shade 395.


9.) Use a big fluffy brush to lightly blend your highlight color into the whole look.

10.) Add some sparkle!  I used LORAC 3D Liquid Lustre.  I love these sparkly drops.  They are amazing.  Use the dropper to but a drop on your finger, then pat on your lid.


11.) Line your upper lash line.  You can do your eyeliner however you want, this is just how I prefer to do mine.  I used the Physician's Formula 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner+Serum...my favorite, albeit long-named, liquid liner.


12.) Mascara!  I used Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express in Very Black.


13.) Done!



I do my face makeup last.  I feel like a lot of people don't, but I prefer to.  I didn't take pictures because I only did my eyes tonight, but on New Year's Eve I used:
1.) Urban Decay Naked Foundation
2.) Urban Decay Surreal Skin Creamy Concealer
3.) Makeup Forever HD Microfinishing Powder
4.) Too Faced Amazing Face Powder in Warm Honey (contour)
5.) Physician's Formula Mood Booster Blush (forget the shade, but it's a natural-looking pink)
6.) MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle
7.) Urban Decay Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Naked
8.) LORAC Multiplex 3D Lipgloss in 4D

Hope you enjoyed!
