Begin With Your Face:

As with any look, the objective here is still flawless skin.  For whatever "edgy" makeup mood your going to create...

1.  Begin with foundation to create a perfect canvas for your inspired work of makeup art...as sheer a foundation as your complexion can afford and a perfect/near perfect match to your skin tone ( a good indicator of a great skin tone match is the foundation should disappear into your skin as you blend).

*eye makeup style TRY Vincent Longo Liquid Canvas.  


2.
  Cover blemishes and under eye circles.  
Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage  is a great multi shade
palette that will allow the perfect match to your skin tone needs.

Also
*eye makeup style TRY tarte secret weapon concealer, Deception.

 3.  Whether minimizing shine or pursuing a matte overall finish, use loose translucent powder and large quality powder brush. Disperse a light dusting to remove any shine without excess depositing in creases or looking to dry and "cakey".
*eye makeup style TRY Paula Dorf Loose Powder to first set your makeup in home and use Vincent Longo Pressed Powder Compact "Translucent" for out of home touch ups.

4.  Bring your 'look" dimension with facial color.  Check these versatile sheer crème face paints out.  They can be used on eyes, cheeks, lips etc.

Just Two Eye Makeup Application Tips:
