Harry Potter Series: Bellatrix Lestrange

Greetings from the Dark Side!

I have for you a somewhat grungy look inspired by Bellatrix Lestrange herself. I love the way Helena Bonham Carter played Bellatrix's character, so this is a shout out to her marvelous acting! I don't look anything like Bellatrix, mind you, so this is just an inspired look. I opted for the more natural look as apposed to the smokier and darker look. And of course I had to wear my Bellatrix necklace!

Tutorial

1. On a primed lid, apply 'Burnout' from the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette on the lid.

2. Apply 'Buzz' on the outer part of the lid to darken the look slightly.

3. With a large fluffy brush, apply 'Nooner' on the crease and all over the lower lash line. This is the most important step.

4. With a small brush, apply 'Blackheart' on the outer portion of the lower lash line, just to make the lower lash line a bit darker.

5. Apply 'Stranger' on the brow bone.

6. Apply a nude liner on the water line

7. Throw on some mascara, and you are done~

Final Look

I am not particularly pleased with the outcome, but I think it is because the very contoured looks do not look good on me :( Oh well, let me know what you guys think!
