Eyes:

- Flirt! eyeshadow in "Black Ivy" (outer V)
- Minerals Bath and Body "Highlight" as highlight on browbone
- Indelible Gel Eyeliner in "Black Out"

Cheeks:

Unlined/No Mascara eyes, this is how it should look so far:


Step 5: Line and apply mascara!

    Hey Vanessa,


    I just loooove your eyes. Are you using falsies or is that your natural lashes?

    I am so envious

    You know, I think that violets and purples look absolutely STUNNING with your shade of skin. :] Just wanted to let you know that. :P

    The colors you used are gorgeous too. :]

    And I love how the snob lipstick looks, you make me wanna buy it... but it might not look as good on me as it does on you. haha. :]

    Purple is so your color, girlfriend. Your liquid liner looks soooo good, too! Did you use a flat angled brush like the 266?
