EOTD:The Dark Side of the Force


Darth Vader: Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke Skywalker: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Darth Vader: No. I am your father.
Luke Skywalker: No... that's not true! That's impossible!

Best dialogue EVER? Indeed!

Many of you might know that I am a huge Star Wars geek. I mean, who names a makeup blog after Star Wars???? A Star Wars geek, that's who.
And this look is way over due.
This is a look that was inspired by the Dark Side of the Force. And also from a makeup look I saw somewhere but I can't remember where I saw it! Arg! But anyways, I digress, shall we begin?
*I should mention that I was experimenting with this look, and I still have to get it right.

Products Used
~ELF Eyelid Primer
~Pixie Epoxy
~Silver and matte black from the Wet n Wild 'Blue Had Me at Hello' Palette
~MAC 'De-Vil' eyeshadow (LE, but you can use any copper or red)
~Prestige My Blackest Lashes mascara (review coming soon)
~KKCenterhk ES A500 lashes
~Dolly Wink liquid liner

Before adding lashes and liquid liner

How to Achieve this Look
1.Apply your primer and/or base. You want the colors to be bold.
2.Apply a silver color and apply it on the entire lid and inner corner.
3.  Using a matte black and a liner brush, draw a line on the crease.
4.Blend out the black line slightly with a fluffy brush, but you still want a noticeable black line.
5.Take the copper/red color, and apply it with a fluffy brush above the black.
6.Blend he copper with the black slightly. Don't blend too much though. We are going for a harsher line.
7. Go back and retouch any colors. Make sure that none of the colors look muddy or over blended.
8.Apply a black liner on your water line. I just used my black eyeshadow.
9.Apply the silver color on the lower lash line.
10. Apply the copper/red color on the outer half of the lower lash line winging out the color slightly.
11. Apply mascara, lashes, and liner.

And tons of pictures....
