Step 1
To begin with I prepped my eyes withUrban Decay’s Primer Potion and used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk for a base. I then used an Ulta Eyeliner in black to trace the outline of the crease and line my eyes.
Step 2
Once I was happy with the shape I had constructed, I filled in the shape with the eyeliner and smudged it out a little. In an oval shape towards the inner corner of my eye I added the darkest blue from the Sleek Ultra Mattes V1 palette. On the outer corner of my eye I used the lightest blue from the same Sleek palette and blended them together to make a nice gradient.
Step 3
I then repeated this process on the other eye using the dark red and pale pink from the Sleek palette.

Once I had the colour in place on both eyes, I then went in with a small blending brush and added Blackout from the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette to darken the crease and lower lash line, blending out and creating a soft smokey effect. On the blue eye I added a small amount of the dark red and blended this up from the crease to add a subtle dash of colour. I did the same on the red eye but with the dark blue. On the lower lash line I added a small amount of blue and red to frame my eyes and blended this in with the blackout.
Step 4
To keep with the blue and red theme I then coloured my brows opposite to the colour of the eyes. For the blue brow I used an NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in 618 Purple. For the red brow I used a red Technic Juicy Stick. I then set the brows with the corresponding colours from the Sleek palette.
Step 5
Once I was happy with the shape of my brows I added 3 lash fans to the out corner of each eye and applied MAC Zoom Lash mascara. I also used a matte white from the Sleek paleete. To highlight under my brows and down towards the inner corners of my eyes. As a final touch to bring a bit of sparkle to the look I used Grimas Colour Powder in silver and highlighted my brow bone as well as the light shade of each lid just under the black crease line.
Step 6
So it isn’t an overly difficult look and doesn’t take a lot of product to achieve but it looks great. If you have heavy lids like I do then a dramatic cut crease like this is harder to achieve but it still looks great. That’s it for today’s edition of the challenge. I hope you have enjoyed the challenge so far. Tomorrow we are looking at moisturisers.
