How to Apply Edgy/Dramatic/Scene Makeup

People are really getting into sharp and dramatic make-up lately. It's developed into a very popula trend. So here's the scoop.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Eye Shadow (Purple, if you want a more scene take on it.)
• Black Liner
• Mascara
• Tape
• Nude Lip gloss
• Concealer/Foundation.

1. Put tape on the corner of your eye (From the edge of your eye to the edge of your eyebrow, the tape should be slightly diagonal.)

2. Apply lightest shade of the color you chose (You could do white,silver, and black for a night time drama look, or lilac, purple, and deep violet for a more scene take.) In the inner third of your eyelid and go upto your brow bone. You can bring it down a bit if you like (Like down inbetween your nose and inner eyelid).
   Then, add the 2nd darkest color to the middle of your eye, bringing it to the brow aswell.
   Finally, your darkest color goes on the outside, and make sure to overlap your eyeshadow on the tape.

3. Blend colors together enough so they dont look too blunt.

4. Apply Eyeliner. Liquid for a sharper look. Do whatever variations you like with eyeliner or just to regular top and bottom.

5. Now, take off the tape. Ta-da! You have a perfectly stenciled eyeshadow technique.

Tips & Warnings

• Try not to make a mess and dont go above your eyebrow (Sound rediculous, but it's not that hard to make this mistake. Of course, you could try it as a variation).
• Sometimes it takes a while to get both sides even, Practice makes perfect!
• Try with other shades of other colors, like blue or gold would be a nice idea.
