Step by Step: 'Beautiful Nightmare' Makeup with Athena

1. Define your foundation with translucent, ethereal skin

Although the focus is on the eyes, well-prepared skin creates the perfect canvas. Use your usual matte foundation or your slightly satiny foundation . Add highlighter in strategic areas for a subtle contrast.

2. Dramatic eyes with the Athena Eyeshadow Palette (dark tones)

The key is to use dark colors and build depth:

• Apply a matte black or dark gray shade to your eyelid.
• Blend with burgundy, plum, or forest green shades in the crease.
• Add a touch of dark metallic shadow like purple or deep blue to the center of your lid.

Pro tip: With the Athena Eyeshadow Palette , you'll achieve intense pigmentation effortlessly.

3. Maximum intensity with Atenea Eyeliners

This step defines the entire mood. Use black gel eyeliner for a firm, deep line:

• Blend gently for a smoky effect.
• Draw an internal line on the water line.

Want to go further? Create a graphic or winged outline.

4. Athena Mascara for a fatal look effect

Apply generously from the roots, including the lower lashes. Combine with fan-effect false lashes for maximum intensity.

5. Lips and blush: perfect balance

In order not to compete with the intensity of the eyes:

• Use lipsticks in nude, mauve or wine red tones.
• The blush should be soft, in cool tones like mauve or burnt pink.
