You Tube is a wonderful place with tons of videos to copy from learn from for a makeup newbie like me. Since I waste the eyeshadows trying to practice what I see, I figured I might as well make a post out of it and salvage something :P
Today's trial was with Inglot's purple-plum eyeshadow (Pearl 446) and khaki (Pearl 419). Go on and scroll down to see what I wasted the day doing :D

- Used NYX HD eyeshadow base all over the lid.
- Used ELF black pencil liner to line thickly close to upper lashline and into the roots of the lashes, then smudged it. This way I won't have any gaps when I am done with my eyeshadows and I can skip applying a liquid liner. It also makes the lashes look darker.
- Used Maybelline gel liner in grey - Charbon - all over the lid and blended it towards the crease area.
- Used Inglot's khaki eyeshadow in the inner half of the lid.
- Used Inglot's plum-purple eyeshadow (Pearl 446) in the outer half of the lid. Also overlapped it a bit over the khaki eyeshadow. This way I can make it look like I did some blending without actually being that great at it.
- Dabbed a bit of the khaki eyeshadow in the inner corner of the eyelids.
- Blend the purple eyeshadow onto the khaki and soften the khaki in the inner corner.
- Using the same brush that I used to apply the grey gel liner all over the lid and with whatever is left on the brush, lined softly along the lower lashline - about 2/3 of the way in. Used the khaki eyeshadow to line softly along the remaining inner 1/3.
- Used a powder foundation to blend the shadows near the crease area and under the brow.
- Used Maybelline gel liner in black to tightline and to line the lower waterline lightly (I didn't want a dark black line).
I used MAC duo concealer and set it with a powder foundation (and that didn't work too well for concealing under my eyes - I will just leave that for another day!). Used a primer over my face and a dusting of pressed powder. Finished with Avon lip liner in Mystic Mauve topped with Chanel glossimer in Praline.
