Annabelle insomnia EOTD: Disturbia

See? Every bloody year. Halloween never grips me until after it’s already passed! (Alternately, it does grip me, but the sun refuses to shine until it’s come and gone).

Anyhow… here’s a bit of a more fantastical eye of the day for you. I really wanted to use the amazing Disturbia palette (from Annabelle’s insomnia collection) in an EOTD, and this kind of, um, happened. Hope you like it! I don’t adore it, but I also don’t hate it — it isn’t good for much other than the specific set of photos I wanted it for, but it was a nice change from the neutral eye I do on a regular basis :P

For a step-by-step photo breakdown, more photos of the finished product, and a product listing, read on!
How-to:
To get the look started, I did a quick “volcanic” eye that was appropriate for day wear. First, I pushed black liner (MAC Blacktrack) into my lashline from both the top and bottom, and then smudged it out thoroughly with a q-tip. Next, I prepped the entire lid with an eye base (NYX Milk), and foiled on three of the four Disturbia shades: the red in the inner corner, the brown on the outer corner, and a touch of the burnt orange in the middle of the lid.

If this was a day look, or any other sort of non-Halloween look. I would have cleaned up the edges with a q-tip, concealed, added mascara, filled my brows, touched up my liner, and stopped there. Instead, I followed it up with a series of lines, foiling on the last Disturbia shadow in parallel, diagonal lines.

And lines in the other direction…

Finally, I foiled a silver shadow (Marcelle Slate) into a few of the squares at random to add a little interest to the eye look. Here’s two shots of the entire look from a bit farther away, so you can see all the edges:

The end result:
