Here's a quick tutorial of my last look. I used shadows from ABH, KVD Monarch, and UD Electric, but use whatever you have that's similar. 1. I used Maybelline color tattoo in Fierce and Tangy as a base all over the lid. Applied KVD entomology (matte yellowy cream color) to the Browbone and used a fluffy crease brush to apply ABH Warm Taupe to the crease as a transition color. 2. I went in with a denser crease brush to apply ABH Caramel (warm brown) in the crease. 3. I used the same brush to darken the crease with ABH Sienna (warm red brown). I used a fluffy crease brush to blend out the color a bit before I went in with KVD wrath (gorgeous orange brown) and blended that over Sienna. 4. I went in with UD Slowburn on the same fluffy brush to make the crease look more orange. Used my pinky to apply ABH Glisten (shimmery champagne bronze) to my tear duct. I also blended Caramel and Sienna on my lower lashline. 5. I tightlined my upper lashline with a black gel liner to add more definition. For glitter I mixed @shopvioletvoss Olivia (orange) and Copperella and applied it all over the lid with her glitter adhesive. 6. I curled my lashes, applied mascara, and then added @kokolashes in Goddess (a dupe for House of Lashes Iconic). Brows are ABH dark brown Dipbrow and clear brow gel.

Here's a super easy tutorial for a two-toned ombre eye. You can play around with different combos instead of the purple and magenta that I used here. 1. Prime your eyes then apply a cream base to the inner and outer third of your lid. I used Milani shadow eyez in 06 Purple Haze. Make sure to leave the center bare. 2. Set the cream shadow with a powder in a similar color. I used UD Urban from the Electric palette. 3. Next apply a magenta shade to the center of the lid. I used Urban Decay Jilted. I layered the color until it got to the intensity I wanted. Make sure you overlap the magenta with the purple to blend. You could optionally put a cream base in the center that's either a matching color or white. This will help intensify the color pigmentation. NYX's jumbo eye pencil in Milk is a good option. 4. Blend the same purple shadow into the crease with a fluffy brush. My favorite blending brush for the crease is Sonia Kashuk No. 109. You can find it at target for about $5. 5. Apply a purple eyeliner or cream shadow stick to the lower lashline and water line. I used Urban Decay 24/7 shadow pencil in Delinquent. Set it with a purple shadow (UD Urban) and blend out. 6. Dip your fluffy brush in a little bit of the magenta (UD Jilted) shadow to lightly blend out all of the edges. 7. Apply a highlight to the inner corner and browbone. I used UD Sin on the tear duct and Virgin on the browbone. Both are from the Naked 1 palette. 8. Curl your lashes and apply mascara. I use a $2 lash curler from NYC and it works perfectly for me. Mascara is Covergirl clump crusher. 9. Optional: Apply false lashes. I used Koko Lashes in Goddess and Revlon clear lash glue. Brows are my usual Anastasia Beverly Hills dipbrow in dark brown.
