    EYE PREP & FOUNDATION Prep your skin, making sure you remove all the oil from your eyelids. Apply foundation to your eyelids only, then lightly powder them.

    EYE SHADOW Now apply a rich violet pigment to each eyelid, blending to just under the brow bone. Ignore the messy fallout, which you can clean up later. To intensify the colour, wet your brush.

    UPPER DEFINITION & BLENDING Use black eye shadow or gel eyeliner to blend the socket line. For better blending, apply gentle pressure and extend the line outwards as shown.

    LOWER DEFINITION & BLENDING With a fine angle brush, apply black gel eyeliner along the lower and upper lash lines, and softly blend. Then use a creamy white pencil to line inside your inner eyelids.

    FINISHING EYES & FOUNDATION Use a baby wipe to clean up any eye shadow fallout from under your eyes, then apply foundation mixed with a luminiser. Define your eyebrows. Curl your lashes and apply lots of black mascara. Apply a cream coral blush.
