- Hey friends, it's Courtney.
Welcome back to my channel
PHYRRA where I talk about
cruelty-free beauty, Gothic fashion,
mental health, and lifestyle.

So today's video is going to be
a quick eyeshadow tutorial,
and it's going to be on this
eye shadow look right here.
If you want to see how I got
this look just keep watching.
So I've already primed and set my eyes.
I used Urban Decay's
eyeshadow primer in Sin
which is like a shimmery beige champagne.
And I set it with my Cozzette powder in C1
which is like a cool yellow olive.
And I'm going to stick Ecstasy
into the fold of skin of my eyes
right here at the outer corner
and start working it through
the contour of my eye.
And I'm bringing the color up a little bit
so that it's going to be
visible when my eyes are open
because I have hooded
eyes if I don't do that,
you don't see my colors.
And because I had a lot of extra skin
out here at the outer part of my eye,
because I have hooded eyes and
they're slightly downturned,
I'm making sure that I'm
covering all of that space
with my shadow especially
right here at the corner.
And then I'm gonna bring this color
about halfway along my lower lid.
I'm going to extend the shape
out in the sort of like,
I guess like a shadow
wing then I'll go back
and clean up the shape later.
So I'm taking my Sigma
E 25 and I'm going to
just elongate the shape.
(bright cheerful music)
And make sure there's no harsh
lines here in the crease.
This color Ecstasty just
blends out very easily for me.
So now that Lime Crime
Ecstasty is in place
and where I want it I'm going to move on
to Stila Kitten which I have
in this eye shadow stick.
And this is like a really
multidimensional champagne,
like champagne with pink and gold reflects
and I just thought it'd be
really, really pretty to use.
I'm gonna go back with the
brush that I used with Ecstasy
and just kind of blend right at the edge
of Ecstasty and Kitten.
I'm going to use Nabla's Hazelnut pencil
or eyeshadow stick.
I'm going to use Nablas's Cupid's Arrow
along the inner part of
my lower lid right here.
I feel like I need to do something
to deepen like the outer corner.
So I'm going to use some
Melt She's In Parties palette
and take the color Meanstreak.
And I'm using my Cozzette S 185
to pop it right here in
this outer part of the eye
and just going to use that to deepen.
And I'm using my IT Cosmetic's
smudger with Total Immortal,
I'm basically just going around the edges
of where I applied Ecstasy.
And I'm using a Sigma E 15
which is a flat definer brush
with more of Melt Meanstreak.
Now unfortunately I'm
noticing that even though
I used eyeshadow primer
because I have hooded eyes,
this cream eyeshadow
formula doesn't seem to
want to stick on my lid.
If you can see I've already
got lifting & creasing
and stuff right here where it's just
pooling into where my skin touches,
which is really unfortunate
because it's so pretty.
So what I'm gonna try and do to
work with this eyeshadow look,
instead of completely scrap it is that
even though I think this
is a such a pretty color,
because it's I've got all this lifting
'cause I have hooded eyes and apparently
it's not a formula for
f*cking hooded eyes.
I'm gonna go ahead and use
Melt Skeleton Kiss on top.
Cause it's about the same color.
It has like a pink shift
which is what I wanted.
Man that is so disappointing that
the cream eyeshadow
from Stila couldn't even
make it through me doing the tutorial,
but I'd rather know now than tell you,
Hey this is awesome and you should buy it.
I'd rather let you know
this doesn't really seem
to work much for my hooded eyes.
All right so I went ahead and put on
my Eyeko Lash Alert mascara,
which is my favorite mascara right now.
And I decided I'm going to
put on some false lashes to go
with this because apparently
lashes makes everything better.
And since I'm really upset about that,
the Stila Trifecta Metallica that are,
the Stila eyeliner sticks I bought
being worthless for my hooded eyes.
I figured might as well
try something else.
I also bought this Kiss
lash glue liner thing,
which is like supposed
to work like a liner pen.
So we'll see how this works.
It says to put the glue on and then
immediately put your
lashes on so we'll see.
Doesn't even feel like
it's enough freaking glue,
but I'm using my favorite lashes
which are the Velour Would I Lie lashes.
Yeah I'd say that worked fairly well.
It's the first time I've
ever used that lash pen
so I wasn't sure if it
was going to work or not.
Now that my lashes on I'm
gonna do the rest of my makeup.
And here's my finished look,
let me zoom in up close for you.
I did want to do a couple
of little mini reviews.
First off I am deeply disappointed
in this Stila Trifecta Metallica
because it doesn't last on hooded eyes.
I used eyeshadow primer, I set it,
I put eye shadow on
top and it's still like
lifting up and creasing on
my lid, such a disappointment
because it's so beautiful
and I bought two shades.
Unfortunately they are both trash
and I don't even think I
can return them to Ulta.
So disappointed.
Very very disappointed.
'Cause they're so beautiful,
but they don't work on hooded eyes.
I am so sick of products
not working on hooded eyes.
I wish people who made eyeshadow,
I wish cosmetic companies
would make products
for fricking hooded eyes.
Okay rant over.
I do want to say that my
new Kiss lash glue liner
that I bought from Ulta
worked beautifully.
I just popped it along my,
or I just basically ran the
brush along my upper lash line
and then I popped on my
Velour Would I Lie lashes.
And it was the easiest experience
I've ever had putting on lashes,
the easiest attempt.
So this is super easy I really like it.
You don't have to wait for the glue to dry
it just basically you line this on
and then you pop on your lash
and you go, so I'm here for this.
This was awesome.
I bought the new Anastasia brow pen
in the shade Granite and I like it.
It works really well with my hair color
and it works with my brow
color so I do recommend this.
It's pretty easy to use.
I did another tutorial,
a complexion tutorial featuring
the new Melt cosmetics Raw Honey Blush Duo
and I love this so if you
want to see that tutorial
click over here and I'll put a link to it.
But I do love this as well.
I found that I really liked
most of my melt blushes.
They're, I've had a couple of products
that I've bought from Melt
that I weren't particularly
fond of but yeah, this is great.
I also really love the,
where is it in my collection?
So as I mentioned,
I really am a big fan of
this new product from Melt.
The other Melt products that I really like
are the Melt Illuminacion,
which is this gorgeous highlighter
that I like to use as
a highlighting blush.
And then I have several
of the blush lights.
I have Electra, I have
Shadowplay and I have Fire Fury.
I just really like these
glowy blush formulas.
I think they're beautiful.
Anyways let me know your thoughts
on this tutorial in the comments below.

new Stila Trifecta Metallica sticks?
