Directions:

• Prep the skin using a primer onto the T zone of the face
• Using a brow tone that matches your client’s natural brow colour, apply using an angled brush throughout the brows to give a fuller effect
• Add a small amount of a light shade of concealer to the eyelids to prime them for eyeshadow and using a blending brush to blend into the eyes
• Using the dark purple eyeshadow shade on a dense flat brush create a winged liner effect
• Using the same brush blend this colour upwards and outwards in a v shape to create a smoked liner effect
• Then using a fluffy brush take a dark pink and apply this over the entire lid and blend
• Keep repeating these two steps till you have a gradual blend between the purple and pink
• Once you have reached the opacity of your liking take the dark purple almost black toned eyeshadow onto an angled brush and apply this close to the lash line to darken the look
• Repeat this process on the lower lash line to create a Smokey smudged gothic liner look
• Using a spoolie apply mascara to the tops and bottom lashes of your client, ensuring the lashes are coated evenly
• Colour match your client and mix the foundation as needed
• Stipple the foundation over the entire face with a fluffy foundation brush
• Set the foundation with the loose foundation powder with a fluffy powder brush
• Contour and highlight the face using tones that complement the client’s skin tone
• To finish the look, apply the purple lip liner to the lips and then fill with a purple lipstick
• And finally spray with a setting powder for long lasting pigmentation
