Halloween Look- Drugstore




Since Halloween is coming, I decided to do a little Halloween inspired eye using the NYX Sex Bomb Shadow Pallet. This pallet comes with a matte red, shimmery nude and black, and nude, brown and black matte colors. I was actually quite impressed by the red. A lot of matte reds turn pink but this one did pretty well and I thought it was perfect for Halloween.

I also used: 

Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette in light
Pixi by Petra Endless Brow Gel Pen in Medium
Elf Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Black Magic Mascara Drama and Curl

                                               
I began by covering my lid in the lightest shade of concealer to allow the red color to be more vibrant.  If you have a white eye primer or creame eye shadow that would work even better. I've already filled in my brows also.









 I then packed on the matte red shade over two thirds of my lid. This doesn't have to be perfect. You will blend it out later and it won't matter.I noticed that there was A LOT of fall out with this pallet but it was manageable

 Next, use the matte black color to create a smoky look on the outher third and in your crease. Since it is Halloween go ahead and use WAY TOO MUCH! Black is cool and creepy.

Also, While your at it add just a hint of red on your lower lid under your lash line and tight line your whole eye using a flat brush and the black eye shadow. The best way to get a good inner black line is to carefully pat the shadow right on the inner edge of your lower and upper lashes, if the black color gets in your eyes your probably doing it right. This can be very painful and hard for some people if you don't like it you can always skip this step.

Once lash glue has dried put on about 5 COATS OF MASCARA and call it a day.


Finally, add a set of fake lashes on your upper lash line and half a set on your lower lash line at the outer edges. This is the hardest part but just let your lash glue get tacky first and set it as close to your lash line as possible. Put them right above your lashes so your real lashes help to support and keep the fake ones in place. Once lash glue has dried put on about 5 COATS OF MASCARA and call it a day.
