Now someone tell me the proper way to put it on, teh girl who sold it to me said it looks really good on my skin I am sort of on the pale side, not ghostly white though.
The shadow is pitch black with like red/dark pink sparkles. What do I do with it?
barfee, try to blend it with another color. Make black as ur border. I dont knoe how to explain it. I can show u if u can just get to MD. Try to go back to that lady and ask her to show u.

eye shadow brush, blending brush, angled brush...
mascara
so after cleansing, moisturizing, concealer....use the shadow brush to apply the shimmery shade all over the eye from lash line to brow bone
then use that brush to apply the dark shade from lash line to crease of lid.
use angled brush to apply the dark shade right under lower lash line not going in the whole way to the inner corner...stop shading before halfway...
dip blending brush into shimmer shade and apply on top of the dark shade and the lower line to lighten and make it look less dramatic. keep on blending to achieve the whole smoky effect. its supposed to look smoky (thus imperfect) so skip eye liner.
then add mascara.*
so basically the whole smokey eye look is the only one you can do with black shadow? The girl was telling me to use it in the crease to make eyes look bigger and then she looked at me told me my eyes were already big.
i've seen the smokey eye look done with blue eye shadow (deep blue, not hooker blue), and it looks amazing. so basically, anything deep and sparkly in my opinion can go.
also, isn't there an easier way to do it??? itnay saaray eye shadows? i just wanna apply and blend. think it would work?
^ ..me too. anything eye related. eye shadow, eye liner...and those eye curlers! my gosh..how could you torture you eyelashes like that. and that thingy you use to curl them..sends chills up my spine just watching people do it...
