1. Use an angled brush and an eyebrow pomade to fill in eyebrows.
2. Dab a full coverage foundation on a small, flat eye shadow brush. Use this to outline your eyebrows and ensure they're fully defined. Blend the edges of the foundation with a domed eye shadow brush.
3. Apply a neutral eye shadow base across your entire lid with another flat eye shadow brush.
4. Use a warm, coral eye shadow shade on a fluffy brush to define the crease of your eye and lower lashline. The tutorial uses Flushed from the Bad Habit After Hours Palette. Apply a darker, burgundy shade on a clean fluffy brush (such as Cabaret) to add further depth to the crease.
5. Put a warm matte dark brown shade like Hickey on the same brush, and apply to the outer corner of each eye.
6. Apply a champagne colored liquid glitter eyeshadow to the inner half of each eyelid. Blend the edges with the same brush you used to apply the first coral shade.
7. Put shimmery gold eye shadow on a flat brush and press over the liquid glitter shadow to add extra shine.
8. Use a shimmery pink pigment and a small detailer brush to add more shimmer to your inner tear duct.
9. Add a dramatic wing with black liquid liner, and use a black kohl pencil to smoke out your lower lashline.
10. Apply black mascara to your top and bottom eyelashes. For even more drama, add a strip lash.
11. Apple a warm brown lip liner to the perimeters of your lips. Finish by filling in your lips with a matching brown-nude lipstick.
