Youtube Video Link | Petja’s Youtube Channel

Hi MUGs! We’ve been doing a slow roll-out of our new user-submitted Idea Gallery system and we’ve had a lot of great looks submitted (you can submit your own looks here). One look that we recently posted on the Makeup Geek Facebook page received a lot of great feedback. Lots of people were asking for a tutorial for this look, so we contacted he makeup artist, Petja, and she was nice enough to let us post the video she created for this look. We hope you enjoy it!

Contributor: Jangsara: http://jangsara.blogspot.com/

Products Used:

Palladio eyeshadow primer (Makeup Geek Store)
Makeup Geek Poolside – lid (Makeup Geek Store)
Makeup Geek Bada Bing – Crease (Makeup Geek Store)
Makeup Geek Mocha – Crease, blending (Makeup Geek Store)
Makeup Geek Goddess – Crease, blending (Makeup geek Store)

MUFE Diamond Powder #008 (Amazon.com)
MUFE Diamond Powder # (Amazon.com)
NYX Black pencil liner (Makeup Geek Store)
Mascara

As always, start with priming your eye with your favorite primer:

Apply turquoise MUG Poolside eyeshadow to whole lid :

Then apply dark brown to crease (MUG Bada Bing):

Blend MUG Goddess & Mocha upwards from the crease:

Then add a hint of MUG Corrupt to outer corner and crease to bring a bit more depth:

Add a hint of MUG White Lies to highlight:

Then apply sticky base for the glitter, I used Fyrinnae’s Pixie Epoxy.
I carefully patted Pixie Epoxy to the lid:

And then carefully patted MUFE Diamond Powder #008 to the middle of the lid:

Same thing over the brown shadows with MUFE Diamond Powder #015:

I also added a hint of black MUFE glitter (#110) over the black shadow.
Then I lined my upper lashline with black liquid liner:

Then I lined my lower lashline with MUFE Aqua Eyes pencil #12L:

I blended the pencil with MUG Poolside, and liner my waterline with black pencil:

Then I just added mascara:

And the look is done!
