Cookies & Milk - A Tutorial




Whether or not you have seen this before, I'm really loving the 2 tone/half & half eyeshadow look! I think it's one of those things you either love or hate, but for those who love it, here's how I got it:

Step 1: Make sure your face is clean!!! I can't stress this enough. Apply primer to your eyes from your lash line to your brow bone. I just use my Dermalogica Welcome Matte moisturizer...
Step 2: Apply cream colored eyeshadow (should be a couple tones lighter than your skin, like what you normally use to highlight your brow bone) to your eyelids. Example: Mac's Crystal Avalanche
Step 3: Take a fluffy crease brush & apply grey eyeshadow (example: Mac's Forgery) into your crease - only till halfway through! Using the same shadow & brush, pull color you just applied down to your lashline to fill in outer V. If this dosen't really make sense, fill the outer part of your eye with the grey where you see the black in the picture. Surprisingly enough I've been loving Aerie's cosmetic brushes!
Step 4: Using the same fluffy crease brush as step 3, lightly dust black (example: Mac's Black Tied)over the grey you just applied for added drama & depth. You can really add however much you want depending on how smoky you want your eyes to look.
Step 5: Apply lighter cream color (lighter than step 2) to your brow bone & inner corner of your eye.
Step 6: Apply your favorite eye liner to your upper lashes.
Step 7: apply your favorite mascara & you're done! I've been loving Mark's Scanda Lash mascara.
