Khloe Kardashian Makeup Tutorial: Dramatic Eyes

Hi guys. I've said it before and I'll say it again.....I love the Kardashian girls! I am watching Kim's Fairytale Wedding-Part Two and realized I hadn't posted my take on a beautiful eye look worn by Khloe Kardashian Odom. Aren't these eyes the sexiest? Khloe is absolutely gorgeous in this photo but when isn't she a knockout? The best thing about this Khloe eye look is that its perfect for day and night.

Instead of using top of the line makeup products, I recreated these sultry eyes with inexpensive eye products so that everyone can capture these dramatic brown eyes. (see below the tutorial for the list of products I used) We know Khloe rocks the best cosmetic products, but who wouldn't if they had the means to do so? Most any look can be recreated with inexpensive products, as long as the colors are similar and the technique is right. Let's get to it!

What you need:

• eye primer (if you don't have a primer, see Step 1 for using what you do have as a substitute)
• white eyeshadow (with just a little shimmer to truly capture the look)
• pale brown eyeshadow
• medium brown eyeshadow
• dark brown eyeshadow
• black eyeliner
• black mascara
• blending eyeshadow brush
• pencil eyeshadow brush
• medium eyeshadow brush
• eyelash curler

Get to work:

1. If you don't have an eye primer, blend in concealer from your upper lash line to your brow and run a small amount under you lower lash line. Top it off with a face powder or translucent powder to seal in the concealer.
2. From upper lash line to eyebrow (especially at your brow's arch), brush on the white eyeshadow with a medium eyeshadow brush to highlight your brow.
3. Choose your matte light brown color; think coffee with cream. With a medium eyeshadow brush, brush this color on from your upper lash line to just below your crease, more specifically in the 1/3 section of your eyelid nearest the inner corner. Also, add a little of this color to your eye's inner corner to open the eye up.
4. Time for the drama! Add a small amount of the dark eyeshadow to your pencil eyeshadow brush. Start in the outside corner, creating a triangle shape covering 1/3 of the lid with a point even with your outer corner. Work the color all the way across the crease. Now, take the blending brush and blend the color in, to avoid harsh lines. Now do the same with the medium brown, blending it up above the crease to the lower part of your brow bone.
5. Take turns adding the darker brown and the medium brown to the outside corner.  Layering colors works to do two things: for a dramatic effect and to give depth to not only your eyes but the colors themselves . Each person is different; each makeup product is different. To capture Khloe's eyes, I layered and blending the colors on top of each other 5 times. It may take you more or less. You'll know when it looks right.
6. Take the pencil brush and run a little of the medium brown color under your lower lash line to bring the eye together.
7. Line your top and bottom lash lines thickly with blackest black eyeliner, even your water line. Curl your lashes and apply several coats of black mascara. All done :-)

It's a pretty simple process. I'll admit blending and layering techniques require practice but if you are an everyday makeup girl like me, you'll have it down pat in no time.

• e.l.f. Professional 100 eyeshadow palette: column 1, color 1 (highlight), column 8, color 1 (light brown), column 9, color 1 (medium brown), column 9, color 10 (dark brown)
