Steps:

1. Prime the eye with any basic eye primer. Primer the eye­lid, all the way up to the eye brow bones
2. Use a translu­cent white eye­shadow (eg porce­lain dust from By Lauren Luke’s My Fierce Violets palette). Put it on the eye­lid and pat some in the inner cor­ner too
3. Take fluffly brush, use dark pur­ple, from outer cor­ner, gen­tly blend it up and over, stay­ing clear of your lid. Gently bring it in to the inner cor­ner. Blend it back and forward
4. At the outer cor­ner, blend it out, but not touch­ing the white eye­lid
   TIPS: rest your lit­tle fin­ger on your cheek to steady your hand and have a good con­trol of the angle
5. Take black (dark or sparkly black), and blend it over the purple
6. Take the pale pink for high­light on the eye­brow bone, and pat it on, then blend it into the dark colors
7. Take white eye­liner and draw on the lower lash and the water­line, all the way into the cor­ner and bring it out to the outer cor­ner of the eye

8. Line the eye, and bring it down. Line also the inner cor­ner of the eye
9. With the liner, draw on the skin of the lower eye (don’t get it in the eye), bring it out all the way to the dark. Then draw lit­tle flick for the lower lashes
10. Bring the upper eye­line out to match the lower one, and 2 lit­tle short strokes. Be care­ful not to blink before the eye­liner dries or it will go everywhere
11. (Curl the lashes)
12. Put on a cou­ple of coats of mascara
13. Bronze the out­side of the face, and a bit on the temples
14. Take con­cealer and cover up blem­ishes around the lips
15. Put on lipstick
16. Because christina’s brows are blonde, use brow vax to slightly tidy brows
