Tutorial: Just a little bit sultry

I know this is my school series, but there are those rocker girls out there who rock sultry eyes everyday. This isn't the most dramatic eye out there (the shadows just make the top picture look really dark) so I guess if you were really into sultry makeup for school, you could try this. Otherwise, I think it'd be perfect for a date.
 Left to right, top to bottom: MAC 219 (got cut off), Ecotools angled eyeliner brush, Urban Decay shadow brush, MAC 217, Covergirl Lashblast Fusion, Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners in Stray Dog and Zero, Urban Decay Naked palette, Tweezerman lash curler, Urban Decay Primer Potion, and MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack.
 As always, start off with a bare eye. Or my "too much makeup" right eye, if you wish.
And apply the primer. As is tradition. 
 Use the flat shader brush in Virgin, a "cool pale beige."
 Apply Virgin in the inner 2/3rds of the lid.
 Use the same brush in Buck (a "fawn brown").
 It's a bit hard to see here, but there it is on the outer 1/3rd.
 Use the 219 (pencil brush) in Gunmetal ("Dark metallic grey with silver microglitter")
It looks very hard here in the crease, buuuuuut...
 We blend it out! Apply more with your blending brush (my beloved 217) if you wish, just make sure to BLEND. And use some of the gunmetal on the outer part of the lower lid.
 Now time for the liner.
 Just use the usual sweep on the outer half of the upper lid. This may seem plain, buuuuuuut...
 Blend it! If you couldn't tell, I'm a blending enthusiast. And use the Stray Dog eyeliner on the lower waterline and lashline. If you want, use zero in the upper waterline.
Curl your lashes, and TA-DA!
