The basic premise is taking one bold eyeshadow and creating a simple, super-dramatic eye. When you use a vivid shade like NARS Outremer (like Karen did- a deep blue- it's the only eyeshadow you really need to make an entire look. I don't have a color like Outremer so I opted for a deep teal green (Revlon matte eyeshadow in Tempting Teal), which has a similar-looking finish and depth. I also made my more wearable for daytime- I didn't wing out the shadow in the form of a cat eye, and I blended it out a little more than I would if I was going out, kind of like Karen did.
Check out Karen's post (link at the top of this post) for the step-by-step tutorial. She makes it super easy to create the shape of the eye and then explains the importance of the right brushes!
I apologize for the glassy eyes- I was dealing with some personal issues last night, and this morning I was welcomed with red/puffy eyes, nice!
