About
This is my version of an oil-slick look.
I created it by applying pigments sprayed with a water based spray and then packed them on top of black gel liner. This is a great trick to turn shimmer shadows & pigments into metallics.

Step 1
The first step of this look was to create my ideal brow shape. Since I have sparse eye brow hair I need to overdraw my shape a bit. For this look I used Benefit brow pencil in no. 2 & The Brow Gal no. 3 Chocolate brow pencil. I also applied a clear brow gel to bring more of a natural brow towards the front.

Step 2
The second step of this look is to prime the eyes and apply the crease shadows. I primed my eyes using Urban Decay primer potion in 'Eden'. I apply tape to the outer area of my eye to create the shape I want for the liner, this helps me to create very clean and sharp line for when I create my wing. I then layer MAC 'chrome yellow', 'red brick', and 'rule' into the crease.

Step 4
The fourth step of this look is to start applying the pigments. I start from the darkest colors from the outset and work my way inwards. I constantly overlap the colors to ensure they have a nice blend. To turn the shadows metallic I pick up my shadows or pigments on flat brush and spray them with MAC Fix Plus. I then directly apply the pigments on top of the gel liner. For the blue I used Illamasqua pigment in 'Alluvium' as well as Johnny Concert Cosmetics pigment in 'Motley'.
