Masquerade

This week's look is inspired by the song "Masquerade" from the Phantom of the Opera. Whenever I hear it, it gets stuck in my head, and the idea for the look came to me last time I was listening to the soundtrack. For those of you who don't know the song, here's a video:

(and, while you're at it, this is my favourite scene from the whole play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp4UqGxOeHk :)

First, I drew the golden lines with MAC Gold pigment in order to define the shape where the other shadows should be applied, then I used MAC's #219 to apply White pigment, Sushi Flower and Passionate eyeshadows, and finally I applied some Deckchair to blend White and Sushi Flower together, and blended the outer corners with the #217 blending brush. Last, I lined the lower lid with Gold and added some simple ornaments on my cheek with a thin brush. Everything was finished off with white kohl on the waterline and black mascara:
