1. Prior to applying the shadow, use the BH Jumbo Eye Crayon in Royal as the base to achieve the deep purple tones instead of using black. I also used this crayon to line the waterline of my eyes for a more dramatic appearance.

2. Use the dark shimmer plum and blue shades from the ‘night’ (right) side of the 60 Color Day & Night Palette.

3. Make sure to blend well in between applying each shade using a Blending Brush.

4. Contour the face for strongly defined cheek and jaw lines using the Contour and Blush Palette.

5. Line the lips with Waterproof Lip Liner in Retro and top off with a bright red shade from the 32 Color Lip Palette.

So you want to be edgy for Halloween? Here are steps on how to wear makeup like a rockstar!

1. Always begin your dramatic look with applying Eye and Lip Primer all over the eye area and lips.
2. Apply our Eye Crayon in Shadow to the upper and lower lash line. Keep applying a little at a time and blend the black over the lid into the crease and gradually build to your desired darkness.
3. Using the Flat Blending Brush, drag the gunmetal shadow from the 60 Color Day & Night Palette from the inner corner of the eye, into the lid and up toward the outer corner of the eyebrow. Fill in the lid and lower eye lid using the same color & brush.
4. Apply the black matte shadow from the same palette into the crease and lash lines using a Small Smudge Brush. To create the “messy” makeup look, keep dipping the brush into the black and applying in light strokes, from the crease toward the temple.
5. Fill in your eyebrows with matte black eyeshadow using  the Small Concealer Brush. Add silver or white loose glitter for an ultra dramatic look.
6. Since the eyes are very bold, keep it simple on the rest of your face. Contour your cheekbones using the dark brown shade from the Contour and Blush Palette, and  apply a rosy-red shade from the 32 Color Lip Palette that is the closest to your natural lip tone.
