Tutorial: The 'naughty' Christmas look

Don't worry ;) With naughty I don't mean 'Hey, let's try to look like a pornstar!' I just wanted to do a 'naughty' and 'nice' look for Christmas, like some other make-up lovers out there. Today I'm showing a dark/mature look and the next one will be (as you might guess) more girly and sweet.

1: So we start off with a huuuge eye infection (just kidding!) I actually applied a base first, followed by a red eyeshadow all over the eyelid.
2: Now we're going to blend the red into our skin. I added a bit of dark red in the crease for some definition.
3: Add a tiny bit of black to your brush to make the crease a bit darker, and blend it towards your eyebrow. After that you can add a bit of white as an highlight (this goes under the eyebrow and on the inner corner of your eye).
4: Now it's time to add the black gel liner all around the eye, and line your waterline with a black eye pencil (top and bottom). Add a bit of mascara and you are done!

Here are a couple of more pictures of the finished look. I also added a tiny bit of glitter to make it a bit more Christmas ish, but that's optional. For the lips I used Pandora (a round lipstick by NYX). It's a purple shade, so you only have to dab a little bit of it onto the lips to give them a nice colour.

If you have a light coloured skin like me, this would be a perfect kind of 'dark' for you. It's not so dark that it looks like someone punched you in the face, but still dark enough to accentuate your eyes. So, if you don't know what to do with your red eyeshadow, save if for Christmas!
