Description
EDIT! After almost three months I decided the colors were too drastic and hard to see. Therefore I re-uploaded the tutorial, the background is now GIMP Grey instead of black and has a less noticeable print in the background as well.
I'm also uploading it as a PNG image this time around to see if that helps with dA's glitching. I don't know about you but all my JPEG images are coming out VERY blurry if they're loading at all.
Hopefully these changes will help more than hurt. And remember to let me guys know what you think.
End Edit. 
Alright, let's see if this is easy for us to wrap our heads around!
I based this tutorial off my very popular first manipulation tutorial.
It's much simpler (I.E. SIMPLIFIED) so this should work well for both beginners and experienced eye manipulators alike.
It took only half the time I thought it would and I was even able to create and upload my XP Wallpaper Pack and Vista Wallpaper Pack !
Hopefully you guys like those as well!
And sorry if the background is a little overzealous as well.
I wanted a way to copyright it without having to use my watermark
so I decided to use my signature.I felt like I was looking at a freakin' wanna-be Louis Vuitton bag for hours on end.
Again, sorry about that.
Well hopefully you guys find this much more useful than my most recent tutorials.
And links are as follows bellow!

So that "secret overlay" thing. Lemme guess. What you do is you duplicate the layer, then set the duplicate on Multiply mode?

Nope, guess again.

Aww, well you were pretty close to the right answer.

Lol. Only things I could think of would be maybe screen or addition. Lol.

No the technique does make the layer darker, much like burning or Multiply, but the actual layer mode stays at Normal.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
or, change the brightness and contrast?
I'm playing with it to figure it out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, but I do that a little later on.

Do you create a layer, fill it with black, then set it to overlay?

Great tutorial..

First manipulation using your fabulous tutorial..

Sorry for teh fail.

Thank you.
And I like the manipulation! I love the fact that you went for multiple colors for your first manipulation. You're gradient on the eyeshadow is also really nice too, kudos. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The eyeshadow isn't a gradient but that probably would have been an easier idea 
Also..could you maybe do a tutorial on how to do the designs around the eye..? Lol

Alright, I'll consider doing a more comprehensive tutorial.
And if you like you can check out my Complex GIMP Eye Tut. Part II . About 3/4 the way down I have a section on texture overlays. It's not the best but it should have some pretty useful advice.

And 2.0 or 2.8, GIMP is GIMP. Kudos for taking a whack at it and remember to practice. You've got real potential. :meow;
