Dark gold (but definitely wearable...)

As Christmas fades away I suppose people are getting tired of golds, reds and greens. So am I, but I am itching to play around with my Goldilux loose eyeshadow so you have to bear with me this time. ;)

This is a soft and subtle look that will suit anyone, goth or not. Since gold is a color that normally don't belong in the average goth's makeup wardrobe I figured I'd combine it with long black eyelashes and a dark purple lip to create a more mysterious and unique look.

Since Goldilux is such a highly reflective pigment I figured it would be perfect to use it as an inner corner highlight. When you move your head Goldilux will catch the light from different angels, resulting in a tremendous highlighting effect.

On the lid I've used a dark and a medium brown to create a soft and natural smokey eye. Instead of gold you could use silver or why not a bright blue or green? :)

On my lips I'm wearing Kontrol by Illamasqua. Read the review here.

Step 1. Fill in your eyebrows and prime your eyes. Powder your eyelids above your crease to make the eyeshadow easier to blend.

Step 2. Dark brown in the outer corner of the eye. Drag it into the crease and fade it out towards your nose.

Step 3. Medium brown on your lid and underneath your eye.

Step 4. Highlight the inner corner and underneath your brows with NYX Milk.

Step 5. Line waterlines and upper lash line with black eyeliner pencil. Blend out the pencil in the upper lash line with black eyeshadow.

Step 6. Apply white eyeshadow underneath the brows and gold in the inner corner.

Step 7. Mascara and false eyelashes.

Step 8. Purple lipstick.
