STEP 1:
Apply Black Eyeliner
After priming and prepping the lid with the Urban Decay Primer Potion, Williamson applied a wing with the Maybelline New York Tattoo Studio Smokey Gel Pencil Eyeliner in Smokey Black. This liner defines the eye and serves as a smoky base for any eyeshadow applied on top. She also used the liner in the waterline, allowing it to spill onto the lower lash line for extra definition.

STEP 2:
Go Over It With Color
Once your smoky base is complete, apply a colorful shadow of your choice on top of the wing you just created with a small pointed eyeshadow brush. Here, Williamson used the shade Gravity, a vibrant purple, from the Urban Decay Wired Palette.

STEP 3:
Add Eyeshadow to Your Lid
Next, pack a brightly colored eyeshadow on the lid. We love the hot pink Savage from the Wired Palette that Williamson used here. Apply it with a fluffy round brush to help smoke out the color.

STEP 4:
Finish With Glitter and Lashes
Using the pointed brush again, slide Gravity along your lower lash line. Then, pick up Savage with the same brush and apply it underneath the purple you just placed. Finish the look by adding glitter on the lid and crease area and putting on a pair of falsies.
