Purple and Red Dramatic Valentine's Day Eye Makeup Tutorial

Since I already did a more simple romantic VD look, I wanted to do something a lot more dramatic and dark.

This look was created using some eyeshadows and a blush from Aromaleigh.

For a while now I've been using Coastal Scents Synthetic Brushes and I LOVE them! So I'll mention which brushes I used through out the tutorial. 

Any part where you see me using the same brush more than once, I always wipe any excess shadow off of the brush before applying a new shadow. I use cloth diapers as my brush cleaner/wiper, rather than being wasteful and using tissue paper.  I always completely clean my brushes between each makeup look that I do (using Cinema Secrets brush cleaner), to keep them clean and to avoid color transfer.

 Start by applying your favourite eye primer. I used Coastal Scents Shadow Worx Eye Primer. Then apply a very sticky base (Sobe's Stick It!, Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy or Darling Girls Cosmetics Glitter Glue all work great).

 Apply AL - downwardsprial to the crease, outer lower lash line and outer V, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.

 Apply AL - helterskelter above and on top of the crease, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.

 Apply AL - ladystardust to the lid, with CS's Classic Synthetic Blender Brush by patting and sweeping outward.

 Apply AL - downwardsprial to the outer 1/2 of lower lash line, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.

Apply AL - ladystardust to the inner 1/2 of lower lash line, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.

Apply AL - helterskelter to the outer 1/2 of lower lash line, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.

Apply AL - whitewedding to the inner V with CS's Classic Detail Pointed Synthetic Brush by patting and sweeping outward.

Using CS's Classic Shadow Large Synthetic brush, apply a skin tone shadow or use a powder foundation to blend and soften any harsh edges.

 Apply a black liquid liner to the upper lash line, then wing outward.

 Apply Red Cherry lashes #43 and black mascara to the lower lashes to complete the look. 

For the rest of what is on my face:
