wild tutorial-

1. Apply a strip of tape on the lower lashline slanting up. Just above the crease, blend an orange brown following the contour of the eye. Soften the line with a highlight just below the brow.

2. Use a precision blending brush to apply a dark green in the crease and outer corner of the eye. Use a soft hand to lightly blend into the orange brown.

3. With a flat brush, pat a medium green on the center of the lid, blending it into the surrounding dark green. Also, take this color down to the lower lashline.

4. Apply a lime green to the remaining inner corner of the lid. Once again, carefully blend into the surrounding colors.

5. Darken the outer corner using a black. Apply to the outer lashline and up into the outer crease. Blend!

6. Line the lower waterline with a bright blue pencil liner. Set with a blue eyeshadow for maximum staying power.

7. Curl lashes, apply mascara and falsies if you choose!

8. Done!

elongated cut crease tutorial with glō minerals smoky eye kit-

1. Apply a piece of tape along the lower lashline slanting up to create a sharp edge. Sweep color #1 across the entire eye, from just beneath the brow to the upper lashline. Use a fluffy blending brush to apply color #3 to the crease, dragging it out and up.

2. Apply color #4 with an angled liner brush along the outer lashline and up into the outer crease. This should create a sideways ‘V’ shape. Blend softly!

3. Remove the tape. Blend color #2 along the lower lashline.

4. Line color #4 even closer to the lower lashline, creating a gradient.

5. Curl the lashes, apply mascara, and falsies if you choose.

6. Done!

basic smokey eye tutorial with glō minerals smoky eye kit-

1. Apply color #1 beneath the brow and on the inner 1/3 of the lid as a highlight.

2. Apply color #2 on the remaining 2/3 of the lid and blend into the crease.

3. With a small blending brush, blend color #3 through the outer crease and along both lashlines, forming a C shape with the color. If your desired look is more elongated, apply in a sideways V shape.

4. Go about the same step above but with color #4 and a small angled brush for precision. This will add more darkness and contrast. The more layers, the more dimensional!

5. Curl lashes, apply mascara and falsies if you choose.

6. Done!

hayley williams may ap magazine tutorial-

1. Prime the eye. Using a warm brown shadow, map out the general shape. This shadow will go in the crease, outer corner, lower lashline, and up into a wing. Blend!

2. Now that you have the shape you want, take a black shadow on a small detail brush and go over the brown areas. Extend the inner crease along the beginning of the nose. It’s okay if the brown peaks out a bit; this will help create a nice blend.

3. Gently blend the harsh lines. Hayley’s look is bold, but not too sharp. If you blend up a little too high, you can always knock it down with your highlight color beneath the brow. Easy fix! :)

4. With a flat brush, apply a white or silver shadow to the center of the lid and along the inner corner. Blend with a clean brush into the black.

5. Apply a black gel or pencil liner to the waterline and upper lashline, extending it into a wing to match the shape of the shadow. This doesn’t have to be perfect!

6. Use an angled liner brush and a small smudger brush with a black shadow to rough up the liner. This will not only set it, but soften the look as well.

7. Curl the lashes, apply mascara and falsies if you choose. Done!

Hope you found this helpful! :)

ravens tutorial-

1. Prime the eye. Apply a highlight beneath the brow.

2. Smooth a gold cream shadow or pencil across the lid. If you don’t have one, simply skip this step.

3. Blend a light purple throughout the crease and blend up.

4. Blend a darker violet into the outer crease and outer ‘V’ area. (If the color goes too high, you can knock it back down with your brow highlight!) Take this color down to the lower lashline too!

5. Apply a gold shadow on the center of the lid and lower lashline, blending it into the purple.

6. Highlight the inner eye with a white shimmery shadow, blending into the gold.

7. Apply a thin liquid or gel winged liner. Line the waterline as well.

8. Curl lashes, apply mascara and falsies if you choose. Done!

Happy Super Bowl! GO RAVENS!

49ers tutorial-

1. Prime the eye. Apply a highlight beneath the brow and near the tear duct.

2. With a wet brush, apply a shimmery gold across the lid.

3. Blend a bronze through the crease, blending into the gold.

4. Mix the gold and bronze and apply to the lower lashline.

5. Using a red liner or lipstick, create a thick winged liner. (Be careful! Those with sensitive eyes may find this irritating.)

6. Because a lipstick will have excess moisture, it will need to be set with a red eye shadow. If the bold red wing suits you, leave it as is and skip to step 8.

7. If you only want a peek of red, line a smaller black winged liner on top.

8. Line the waterline. Curl lashes, apply mascara and falsies if you choose. Done!

7° tutorial-

1. Prime the eye and apply a matte highlight beneath the brow.

2. Blend a warm brown through the crease, blending upwards, and to the lower lashline.

3. Apply a gold cream base to the lid. A creamy pencil would work just as well!

4. Apply a purpley pink on the outer and inner lid, leaving the center open.

5. Highlight the center lid with a yellow or gold shadow, as well the inner eye near the tear duct.

6. Blend a black through the crease to deepen the look. For a warmer look, use a dark brown instead. Take the color down to the lower lashline as well.

7. Line the eye with a black pencil or gel liner. Soften the top liner with an angled brush for a smokey effect.

8. Apply mascara and falsies if you choose. Done!

shores tutorial-

1. Prime the eye. Apply a matte highlight beneath the brow. Apply a silver gray across the lid and on the lower lashline, focusing on the inner 2/3 of the eye.

2. Blend a black through the outer 1/3 of the eye up into the crease. Do the same to the lower lashline.

3. Blend a brown gold just above the crease and into the black. Again, do the same to the lower lashline.

4. Add a red to the crease and outer lower lashline and and blend. The brown should still peak out!

5. Line the eyes with a black shadow, creating a slight wing.

6. Apply a black gel or liquid liner on top. The black shadow will soften the look of a harsh liner.

7. Curl the lashes, apply mascara and falsies if you choose.

8. Done!

new year’s tutorial-

I’ll first start by saying this is one of my go-to looks; for dinners, parties, or just when I want to feel glamorous. With black in the crease, so many looks can be created and customized to you. I obviously worked with golds for this look, but if you only have pink glitter, try using all pinks. Or, if you want to mix things up, use a different color eyeshadow than you do glitter. The combinations are endless, so be creative and have fun with it! Have a wonderful New Year!

1. Prime the eye. Apply a gold (or whatever color you choose), all across the lid up to the crease, and beneath the lower lashline.

2. Use a black pencil liner to cut the crease. If you need more lid space, create a new crease slightly higher than your natural one. With a small smudger brush, blend the line until smooth and no harsh edges are visible. Try blending up rather than down to keep a defined crease.

3. Apply a black shadow on top of the liner and blend up and out, creating an elongated cat-eye shape. If your eyes are already wide and you’d rather lift them, blend up toward the arch of your brow instead. Apply a matte highlight beneath the brow.

4. Using a small detail brush, apply eyelash glue to the lid. Be sure not to go too high, or the lid can stick to the skin above the crease.

5. Pat glitter on top of the glue after if becomes tacky. Wait for it to dry before looking up! Clean up any fall out with a piece of tape.

6. Line the eyes with a black liner, following the curves of your cut crease. Line the lower lashline and smudge it out into your eyeshadow. You may need to reapply if it gets hidden by the black liner.

7. Curl lashes, apply mascara and false lashes if you choose.

8. Done!

holly tutorial-

1. Prime the eye. Apply a matte highlight under the brow. Apply a matte, warm brown through the crease, blending up. When you’re looking straight, the color should be visible.

2. Apply a gel or creamy black liner across the lid ending at the crease, and to the lower lashline and waterline. This doesn’t have to be neat! Just get the general shape drawn out!

3. With a dense blending brush, blend the outside lines to make the liner less harsh.

4. Pat a black shadow on top of the liner to set it, and further blend up and out, creating a cat-like shape.

5. Going back to the red brown shadow, softly outline the entire black shape. This will create a gradient and shadow effect.

6. With a small detail brush, pat your favorite eyelash glue on the lid, careful not to go into the crease. This is where your glitter will be placed!

7. Using a dense brush, or simply your finger, pat glitter onto the glue. Once the glue is covered, let it dry before opening your eyes and creating any unwanted creases. Use a fluffy brush or tape to take away any glitter that may have fallen onto your face. (This is easiest when your face is bare of foundation! Apply that after!)

8. Apply a light green inner corner highlight, mascara, and falsies if you’d like. Done!
