Return of the Look: Slytherin (Harry Potter)

"Or perhaps in Slytherin,
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means,
To achieve their ends.
"
 
—Sorting Hat

When I think of Slytherin, I think of Draco and his gang, Voldemort He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and Snape. Besides Snape, I never really cared much for people in House Slytherin! They usually tend to be a bunch of jerkwads! So when I tried to visualize Slytherin as an eye look, it was quite bold and eviiiil~ It was also green and silver since those are the House colors. If I was a Death Eater, this is totally what I would wear when I created chaos~ Mwahaha!  
And for those of you who are not familiar with my "Return of the Look" series, it is a series where I redo looks I did in the past. Well, this is a redo of my Slytherin look that I did about 2.5 years ago.

                                                                           Tutorial                                                                




1. As always, start off with a primer or base (Maybelline Color Tattoo 'Just Beige').

2. Apply a silver cream eyeshadow on the lid (Illamasqua Liquid Metal 'Phenomena').

3. To prevent the cream eyeshadow from creasing, apply a silver eyeshadow or a translucent powder over the lid (Urban Decay 'Strip').

4. (Do this step at the very beginning) Put a piece of scotch tape on the edges of the eyes to give the final look a sharp edge.

5. With a small brush, apply some black eyeshadow or eyeliner on the outer V and on the crease (Prestige Total Intensity eyeliner).

6. With a crease brush, apply a emerald green above the silver and black (VDC 'Emerald Dream').

7. With a clean fluffy brush, blend the green out a bit so the line isn't too harsh. You can try blending it with a matte white or skin tone eyeshadow. 

8. Take your liquid liner and create a dramatic cat-eye liner (L'oreal Lineaur Intense).  You can now take off the scotch tape to revel a super clean edge!


9. Apply a black eyeliner on the waterline and smudge it along the lower lash line (Prestige Total Intensity eyeliner).
10. Take a green eyeshadow (the same one you used already or a different one) and apply it along the lower lash line.
11. Apply mascara and lashes and your look is complete!

And here is the look with Lime Crime 'Serpentina' lipstick! I had so much fun going to the drugstore with my green lippie! Haha. I'm sure I create some confusion at Walgreens xD


I hope you have enjoyed my Slytherin inspired look :D
