Loving this look - Brody Dalle by way of Pixiwoo

I saw this look as done by Pixiwoo's Sam Chapman and really loved it: http://youtu.be/MqNOcUoqA2I . I like that it isn't too done, and messy application is something I can hope to achieve ;)

I've adopted a toned-down version using my Viseart palette - middle row right shade (slightly yellowed mid-brown) all over the lid, well into crease and under eyes, bottom row right (darker chestnut brown) along lashline, outer v of mobile lid and blended underneath. I used Rouge Bunny Rouge black kohl pencil for the liner - I really like how concentrating the liner on the outer half of the upper and lower lash line seems to elongate the eyes. I also like a warmer version using the two middle row left shades instead.

I've enjoyed stepping out of my usual tasteful taupe comfort zone, and I like a version of a messy rock look that doesn't rely on a ton of black shadow. I am not feeling the spring pastel collections at all this year, and this morning-after-the-night-before look is more in tune with my general mood. Taking shadow this far under the eye can make you look a bit tired, but that's all part of the effect; I'd rather fake looking like I've stayed up all night than actually do it nowadays!
