Teal and Blackened Gold Eye Makeup Look + Tutorial

Phew I've been busy! I meant to post this a few days ago and didn't have the time. So here it is!

 This look was created using some eyeshadows and blushes from Moi Mineral Cosmetics.

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.

Don't mind my gross ingrown hair. I'd photoshop it out but I'm lazy and not good with PS to begin with. So if it bothers you, oh well!
 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 Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Goldmine, to the crease, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush and lightly blend out.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Olyphant, to outer 2/3 of lid and middle crease, with CS's Classic Synthetic Blender Brush by patting and sweeping inward.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - River Rain, to the inner 1/3 of lid and crease, with CS's Classic Detail Pointed Synthetic Brush by patting and sweeping outward.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - River Rain, to the inner 1/3 of lower lash line, with CS's Classic Detail Pointed Synthetic Brush by patting and sweeping outward.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Olyphant, to the middle lower lash line, with CS's Classic Detail Pointed Synthetic Brush by patting and sweeping outward.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Goldmine, to the outer lower lash line, with CS's Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush and lightly blend out.

 Apply Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Liquid Gold, to the inner corner, 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 Kryolan Aquacolor cake liner in black.

 Apply Ardell #113 faux lashes and mascara and to complete the look.
 
For the rest of what is on my face:
 
Eyebrows: e.l.f. Baked Eyeshadow - Burnt Plum (applied with CS's Classic Liner Medium Synthetic Brush)

Lips: Morgana Cryptoria - Fairy Dust

Face: 
Skin MD Shielding lotion 
Sobe Botanicals Mineral Powder Foundation - Light Warm (applied with CS's small classic synthetic buffer brush)
Sobe Tinted Illusionist Powder (applied with CS's small classic synthetic buffer brush) 
NYX blush - Taupe (applied just below the cheek bones to contour using CS's Classic Blush Small Angle Synthetic Brush)
Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Beach Babe (applied to cheek bones and blending back toward the hair line with CS's Classic Blush Large Angle Synthetic Brush)
Moi Mineral Cosmetics - Awakening (applied above cheek bones to highlight)
