These are the Metal-X shadows.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx001.jpg" alt="" /><br />
1. Start with a clean eye-space; if you fill-in your brows, you&#8217;re welcome to do them now [or later].</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx003.jpg" alt="" /><br />
2. Use a stiff flat brush and apply Pure Ore metal-x cream shadow on inner half of the lid.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx004.jpg" alt="" /><br />
3. This is what it should look like.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx005.jpg" alt="" /><br />
4. Repeat the step, only using Plum Electric on the outer half of the lid.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx006.jpg" alt="" /><br />
5. Like so.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx007.jpg" alt="" /><br />
6. With the 239, pick up the purple side of the Mi&#8217;Lady eyeshadow duo and apply to the outer lid.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx008.jpg" alt="" /><br />
7. Ta-da.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx009.jpg" alt="" /><br />
8. With the 239 brush, pick up the red side of the Mi&#8217;Lady eyeshadow duo and apply to the middle of the lid, layering over both the gold and purple base.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx010.jpg" alt="" /><br />
9. This is what you should have.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx011.jpg" alt="" /><br />
10. Blend the red into the colors by sweeping the brush up and down (vertically), as if you were applying more of the same color.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx012.jpg" alt="" /><br />
11. Apply Rye eyeshadow using the 239 brush to the inner third of the lid.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx013.jpg" alt="" /><br />
12. This is what it should look like now.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx014.jpg" alt="" /><br />
13. Take your 239 and apply a little more of the purple side of the Mi&#8217;Lady duo to the outer crease, and sweep back and forth.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx015.jpg" alt="" /><br />
14. Apply Ricepaper eyeshadow with the 239 brush above the crease.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx016.jpg" alt="" /><br />
15. Repeat, only apply directly underneath the brow.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx017.jpg" alt="" /><br />
16. This is what you have now.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx018.jpg" alt="" /><br />
17. Darken the crease again using the purple side of the Mi&#8217;Lady duo with the 239.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx019.jpg" alt="" /><br />
18. This is what you should have.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx021.jpg" alt="" /><br />
19. With the 239 brush, apply Pure Ore cream shadow to the lower lash line.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.temptalia.com/images/tutorials/tutorial_metalx020.jpg" alt="" /><br />
20. Add black eye liner to the lower lash line. Add mascara and finish!</p>
