How to Do An Arabian Style Eye With Urban Decay Palette Tutorial

Hey everyone it's been a while and I'm sorry but I hope you will enjoy the following tutorial . I love doing dramatic eyes and love the Arabian eye look which is a heavy smokey look using thick liner on the top and bottom of the eyes. I recently purchased the Urban Decay palette , which I totally love and is definitely one of my go to palette, the looks you can create with this palette are endless . Remember the products I use are just for guidance only if you have the colours in different products then please feel free to use them or even experiment with different colours. As you'll see in the following pictures for this technique I used  sellotape to the outer corner of my eye as a guide , this method makes the whole process alot quicker and easier to apply the eyeshadows and even better for getting that perfect winged out eyeliner. It leaves you with a crisp,clean line that gives an amazing finish to the look. Take a look at myother tutorial where I used the tape to create a perfect winged eyeliner , use the link to view it http://cosmeticzjunkie.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/how-to-do-winged-eyeliner.html

Lets get started : 

Step 1: Place the tape to the outer corner of the eye, if using normal sellotape remember to scotch the tape off a bit by applying it your hands a couple avoid any discomfort .

Step 2 : Apply a primer to your eye , I used my NYX eye base in white

Step 3 : Apply a transition colour to the crease of your eye and blend it out, I used a colour a few shades darker than my skin tone, this will help the look to blend out gradually . I used the colour Buck from the palette . 

Step 4 : Highlight the browbone with a very pale shimmery white and blend it into the transition colour . I used Virgin from the UD Palette.

Step 5 : Use the shimmery pink and shimmery taupe all over your eyelid upto the crease . I used Sin & Sidecar out of the palette.

Step 6: Add a dark brown to the crease and outer V , I used a mixture of Darkhorse and Smog .

 Step 7: Using a black gel liner draw a thick line upwards along the tape, doesn't have to be neat 

Step 8: Using a black eyeshadow blend out the the line you have just applied and blend into the crease slightly, I used the colour Creep, gradually build this up until you are happy with the blend. 

Step 9: Apply the liquid liner to the top lashline and wing out to add definition, this part is really easy with the tape :)

Step 10: Now for magic ...... remove the tape and you should have a clean crisp line :)

Step 11: Add gel liner to your bottom lash line and join it to the outer corner , keeping it quite thick . 

Step 12: Line the inside of your eye top and bottom, I used my gel liner for an intense look . 

Step 13 : Add lashes and your done xx
