Step 2: Then take black cream gel liner with flat brush and outline around white line that you have created and then start fill it in.
Step 3: Then take large fluffy eye shadow brush and blend out around the eyes. Then take matte black eye shadow and pack it on the top and set the black gel liner.

Step 5: Then take shimmer metallic purple eye shadow with another flat brush and apply it to all over your eye lid and little bit to lower lash line.
Step 6: Then again take fluffy brush and little bit of matte purple shade and soften up the edges of that shade.
Step 7: Then tale shimmer light pink eye shadow and apply on your lid and very little bit to lower lash line. Then take small fluffy brush with matte purple shade and blend everything together.
Step 8: Then again take that black gel liner and deepen up the black because may be after applying all color, you have lost that dark color. Then add mascara and false long dramatic lashes.
Face Makeup:
Step 1: For this look use very light shade foundation and apply it to all over your face evenly with beauty blender. Use small flat brush to around your eyes. Then set everything with translucent setting powder.
Step 2: Then Draw nose with black eye liner. Then take small pointed brush with bream black gel liner and fill in where you draw your nose and make it super black because with foundation it will look gray.
Step 3: Then apply matte purple eye shadow on your lips and then draw mouth part of the face with white eyeliner. Then trace this white line with small pointed brush and black gel liner and also draw the teeth line.
Step 4: Now shade the cheekbones with black eye shadow and start with shade underneath where you draw black lines. Then take clean blending brush and blend out very lightly. First pack that black shade and then drag it down to give a dray shade like hollow.
Step 5: Then again take that fluffy brush with matte purple shade and do the same thing kind of pat over that black shade and drag it down and blend out nicely.
Step 6: Then shade around your forehead or hairline with small brush and black shadow. Do the same thing again and go with the matte purple shade and fluffy brush and blend it out.
Step 7: Then take glitter glue and loose glitter. First place glue between the teeth that you drew and then add glitter on top. Then with black gel liner go back over the outline of teeth marks.
Step 8: Then add rhinestones with lash glue and add it around the eyes. Add little flower shape rhinestones on your chin. And one large pink rhinestone to right in the center of your forehead.
Then add white contacts and a flower crown to complete the look. You can do this makeup with any color you like. You can use red color, pink color instead of purple.
