  1. grey eyeliner lower rim and top rim middle to edge of eye
  1. dark eyeshadow (blue/green/brown) over lower lid blended up to socket

  2. mid shade eye shadow to brow

  3. highlighter eye shadow from under mid borw - middle to edge of brow

  4. eyebrow pencil - blend

  5. mascara

  6. touche eclait under eye if dark

this is everyday but do more or less the same for night out - just heavier on the darker colour and a bit of sparkle.

Blue and green eyeshadow sounds naff but works well on me. Anything too browny / pinky and I look like I have been punched (I am pale skin - dark hair.)

Don't worry, Jeremy, BBB is clearly a pre-op tranny. Green eyeshadow in the daytime, how very dare she?

colditz · 17/06/2007 11:53

rich plum oversocket and next to lash line, and tiny bit on lower lash line

liquid eyeliner on upper line

give is a gentle flick with blusher brush, to soften

Mascara.

JeremyVile · 17/06/2007 12:07

Pre-op trannies and lips smeared in eyeshadow...
I for one, did not expect the thread take this direction.

lou33 your "done" made me think of Gordon Ramsay talking through his recipes... it isn't you, is it?

Tutter · 17/06/2007 12:59

daytime: other than dab of tintes moisturiser all over face (inc. eyelids) all i do is: leeetle bit of concealer under eyes, curl lashes (nb has to be quality curler to avoid lash trappage) and add mascara (1 coat)

evening: (on top of base and loose powder): pencil liner on top lid, close to lashes, extending slightly beyond lashes; eyeshadow; re-apply pencil; 1 coat of mascara; 2nd coat of mascara

Day time I just wear touche eclat and mascara, evening I do eye liner and eye shadow. I prefer dark smoky eyes to pasted colours personally.

A virgin vie woman once did me in blue eye shadow. I looked hideous.

Gh loved it tho
