Violet Eyes

Hey,

Well this is a look I was playing around with and felt it would be fun to do a step by step make-up look. So I provided steps as well as a picture to go with each step so you can see what it looks like in progress.

All the products I used are AVON and are amazing quality and super affordable. I hope you enjoy.

Step 1:

As a primer/ base I used a cream eyeshadow pencil to help my eyeshadows last all day and night.

Step 2:

Using a flat shader brush I applied a light shimmery lilac color to the inner 3^rd of my eye lid, also using it to highlight my inner tear ducts.

Step 3:

With a Round Crease brush I used a medium lavender color, and pack it on to the outer corner using a circular motion to give it a curved look also working it into my crease.  

Step 4:

Using an angled liner brush I took a dark blue color and made a “V” shape inside the Rounded shape made with the lavender, also dragging it into my crease to blend the colors a bit more.

Step 5:

Once again with the round crease brush I took a silver color to blend out any visible harsh lines and dragged it up to the brow.

          **Note at this point it looks crazy weird and messy but at this point I will be fixing that. **

Step 6:

Now re-doing step 2 is what will help enhance the colors and will clean the look up a bit.

Step 7:

Using a light white color I put it under my eyebrow to highlight

Step 8:

Now using an angled liner brush I took a dark blue eyeshadow to line under my water line. This step helps enhance the blue I put on my lid.

Step 9:

Ok now I will just be lining my top lash line with liquid liner and using a pencil I will line my water line as well as my tight line.

Step 10:

I added mascara using 2 or 3 coats to extend and make them appear full also adding that to my lower lashes as well.

Now, to finish off the look all I did was add a little bit of bronzer to the hollows of my cheeks and a highlighter to highlight the tops of my cheek bones. Then, I added a pinky mauve lipstick and lip gloss on top.

Halloween Anyone? 

I hope your day has been good so far. I just wanted to write a little about this particular make-up look that I created on myself. I orginally wanted to make it an extreme wearable look and yes "wearable" but kinda got carried away with COLOR. This was so fun to do, but took a long time mainly because I wasn't quite sure where I was trying to take this look. This would be a cute make-up look for halloween especially if your like me and never really dresses up, but wants to do something creative.   

What did I do?

I used a white eyeshadow base all over my eye and kinda got carried away and used it to make my skin look even more ghostly white. Then, used several of the chubby eyeshadow pencils to make my spikes on my eye and lower lash line trying to make the lines as straight as possible. Then, picked out the colors I wanted to use to fill in my spikes. The lips are really cool I used a lip balm first and then put a green eyeshadow on top, and in the center to give it an ombre kinda look I used a gold to show that my lips had some dimension. Oh and as for my eyebrows I colored them with a white chubby pencil and place shadows on top just to lighten and color them you know just depending on which side your doing.

I think this would look completely awesome to have both eyes look the same using which ever side is your favorite.

I hope you enjoyed this post like I said before this was so fun.

Homeade Primers...

“Are there other options than going out to buy an eyeshadow primer?”

YES…

If you have cream or liquid eye shadows, pencil shadow sticks, or even if you have your concealer or foundation. Just about anything will work up to a certain extent. These are a few that I have tried and still use every now and then.

1.       When using a cream, shadow sticks, or liquid eyeshadows you want to make sure you are only going to use it as a base, then apply your eyeshadow on top. Remember you might have to apply the eyeshadow quickly because the cream and liquid eyeshadows dry very quick.

2.       Now with the Concealer there are two ways I would suggest. First I would put a little bit of the concealer in a little jar or container, and in the same container put a small amount of your moisturizer. Also remember do not use too much or it will be too oily.  After you mix it together you have now made your own homemade skin tones Eye primer. The second way is a little easier you apply the concealer on your eye lid and apply as normal using a concealer brush or your ring finger. Then put a little dab of moisturizer on each eye lid and in patting motion pat on the eye lid. Then let it dry for a few seconds then apply your eyeshadow. :D

3.       Last way I have tried is use your foundation it’s almost as effective as the concealer method but you have to make sure your foundation isn’t oil base or it won’t hold the eyeshadow like its suppose to.

 As with everything I am sure there are lots of other ways to substitute the eyeshadow primer.

Thank you for reading.

Please let me know if you have any ideas on ways to make eyeshadow primer :D

Please comment…
