***Optional step.***

Yes, I just now realized how expensive this look was, but it's well-worth it, in my opinion. Many of the blush palettes you should already have, as they are quite common. Due to the fact that the L'Occitane en Provence is no longer available in the Starplaza, you can substitute this blush color for a similar shade in the Dot store.

Steps:

1. Take the Twilight Blue Eye Dust and apply it on the edges of your eyes, fanning it out.

2. Next, take the Teal Me color and gently blend this into the middle of your eyelid in addition to the Twilight Eye Dust shade.

3. Use the Azure Shadow Eyeshadow and blend this next to your two pre-existing eyeshadow colors, making sure you don't cover up the entire shade.

4. The Azure Sky Shadow color will come next, and apply this near the insides of your eyes, still remaining on the top lid. Blend the back of this color with the rest of the shadows you have applied already.

5. Finally, take the Regatta Eye Dust and use this color to blend all of the colors together by applying it as close to the top lash line as possible, working outward but being careful not to blend this darker color into the Azure Sky Shadow.

6. After the eyeshadow is complete, take the Dusk's Kiss Eyepencil and apply this only on the top lash line, fanning it out to meet the Twilight Blue Eye Dust. Start lining the eye where you applied the darker colors, not the lighter colors near the insides of your eyelid.

7. Take your volumizing mascara and apply this, starting from where you applied the darker shades, not where the lighter colors begin to fade into the gradient. Apply this all along the bottom lash line.

***8. Now, (if you have this in your Beauty Parlor, if not, then use a similar shade) take the L'Occitane en Provence blush wand and apply a small dot of blush on your cheekbones, blending it upward very lightly. Keep in mind that this shade is very dark, and you want to work lightly and carefully when applying it.***

9. Take the Burnt Orange blush shade and apply this outwards, blending it slightly with the first blush strokes you applied. This shade is also rather dark, so be careful when applying it.

10. Now, use the Warm Apricot Blush shade to blend everything together, making sure you get some on the tops of your cheekbones, as well. All these blush shades together heighten the skinny-cheekbones look and make your face appear thinner.

11. Next, simply take the Sunset Gold Lipstick, or any nude shade that matches your skin tone, and apply a liberal amount on your lips, making sure to only apply one coat so it blends nicely. If you are looking for a more "costumed" look,

***12. Finally, apply some halved false lashes, heightening the edgy effect of this look.***

Remember, this is a semi-versatile look which can be changed for your convenience, or if you just want to play around with colors, etc.

Good luck, dollies!
