Looks - Quick Metal-X Eye with Pure Ore and Plum Electric

I used Pure Ore cream shadow on inner lid, Plum Electric cream shadow on outer lid, Rye eyeshadow on inner lid, Mi’Lady (red) duo shadow on middle of lid, Mi’lady (purple) duo shadow on outer lid and crease, Rye eyeshadow above crease, Ricepaper eyeshadow on brow, Orpheus kohl power on lower lash line, Pure Ore cream shadow on lower lash line, and Graphblack technakohl on lower waterline. I wore NARS Crazed blush on cheeks with Sculpt sculpting powder to contour and Micro Pink beauty powder to highlight. I had Overrich lipstick with Magnetique lipglass and Reflects Antique Gold glitter on my lips.

Wow. I love how wonderfully you put the colors together!

I’ve gone through some of the looks, and I’ve noticed that the the middle color is often put on at an angle… not like straight down.. Is there a reason for that? it looks SO GOOD THAT way too.. How did you think of that?

Pretty as always!!

Okay, I bought a couple of the metal X shades yesterday… I can’t for the life of me figure out what to put them on with. I’ve tried different MAC brushes but the cream just falls off of them.. I gave up and used my finger.. but I hate doing it that way… do I need a sponge tip to apply these? Thanks for your help!

Christine, you are the best! Your tutorials are like none I’ve ever come across before; very clear and straight-forward. Keep up the great work! I am new to your site and I’m already addicted. I am from the Caribbean so my complexion is medium brown. I love this purple look, it’s very rich and vibrant and, it will work for me. Can’t wait to try it out. Will let you know how it turns out.
