Tutorial: "Black Pandemonium" Urban Decay Vice4 Eye Look

"Pandemonium" & "Grip" are a few of the eyeshadows I have not yet used in an eye look featuring the +Urban Decay Cosmetics "Vice4" Eyeshadow Palette. So I used it for Look #7, and I call this look, "Black Pandemonium".

This happens to be one of my favorite looks I did so far for for my Vice4 series, 

and here are the steps on how I achieved this look.

1. Eye Shadow "Grip" (Taupe Matte with Iridescent Micro-Glitter)

This shadow is pretty sheer to my disappointment, but it was actually the perfect transitional shadow for this look. I just dusty a few layers of this shadow to my crease.

2. Eyeshadow "Dead Beat" (Black Satin with Iridescent Micro-Glitter)

Whenever using a black shadow, always work in layers and take your time to blend. I first used a fluffier eyeshadow brush to layer on three coats of the black shadow, blending in-between each coat.

Then I used a more dense, flat eyeshadow brush to really pack on the black shadow. I also applied the black to the lower lash line, and used a q-tip to clean up any mess I created due to carelessness, and of course, I did more blending. 

3. Eyeshadow "Framed" (Light Neutral Matte-Satin)

For the highlight shadow I used a shadow that matches my skin tone to really clean up the brow bone so that the darker shadows will look more crisp and clean. I also added this shadow to the inner corners to keep that area of the eye bright.

4. Eyeshadow "Pandemonium" (Metallic Plum with Iridescent Micro-Glitter)

To add more interest to the black, I used my finger to pat on this beautiful metallic plum shadow. I just loved how this purple completely transformed the look, giving it more depth and dimension.

5. Eyeliner, Mascara, & False Lashes

Finally to finish up the eyes, I applied a black "pencil" liner to the top lashes, instead of a liquid liner to keep things more soft and blended together. I didn't want a harsh liner to take away the beauty of the shadows' colors. I also added false lashes, because an intensely dark look like this really washes out my eyelashes even if I apply a good mascara on. 

And the look is complete!
