By request, this is my attempt at a picture tutorial for my recent Blue Steel look; I changed a few minor details but this is roughly how I did it the first time. The pictures aren't amazing because I had to do this at night. (I also used my sister's camera for the step-by-step pics since its smaller and easier to hold.) Anyway, this should give you some idea of how I did my look so I hope it helps if you were looking to create this look on your own :)
Instructions first, followed by complete product list and *gasp* more pics! ;)
Let's begin:
 |
| Here's my clean eye, prepped with UDPP. |
 |
| I added DGC Glitter Glue (this is too much!) all over upper and lower lid area; anywhere I would be applying eyeshadow. |
 |
| Now my lid is shiny and ready for makeup! ;3 |
 |
| Added Gun Metal to about mid-lid. |
 |
| Added Spellbound to outer half, sparing the very outer edge. |
 |
| Applied a little more Glitter Glue to very outer edge. (I'd recommend using a dark base instead. Casablanca Nights will be more opaque that way.) |
 |
| Patted on Casablanca Nights, carrying a bit over onto Spellbound. |
 |
| Added Spellbound to outer half of lower lashline over Glitter Glue; |
 |
| and Gun Metal the rest of the way, sparing tear duct area. |
 |
| Added white eyeliner to tear duct area and applied Moonlight over that. (Another highlighter or even Gun Metal would work to.) |
 |
| Next I applied Blueberry to blend between Spellbound and Gun Metal. This is before.. |
 |
| and after. It adds a bit of brightness, but you could also skip this part if you want. |
 |
| Added Blueberry to lower lashline, blending between Spellbound and Gun Metal. |
 |
| Next I buffed in some Very Vanilla around edges of whole eye, with emphasis on browbone. This gives the edges an airbrushed look without allowing the them to blend out too much. |
 |
| With a flat brush I patted High Roller glitter all over the darker colors on my outer lid and lower lashline. |
 |
| Eyeliner :) |
 |
| Brushed eyeshadow over the eyeliner to soften the look; I used Spellbound on outer half and Blueberry on inner half. Casablanca Nights also looks cool over eyeliner, or you could just leave it black ;) |
 |
| Added black pencil along waterlines with a little Black shadow over it to set. Curled my lashes, and applied mascara to top and bottom lashes. |
|
| Filled in brow with Truffle and applied concealer and mineral foundation to my skin. All done! :) |
