Okay, back. So hopefully everyone's having a wonderful festive season so far, and today I'm bringing you a look I wore to my college Christmas party, and I thought I would take photos along the way so that hopefully you can wear it too!
Before you begin, make sure you prep your eyes with your chosen primer. You can use concealer if you like, here I've used the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I've also placed some Scotch tape along past my lower lashline to help create a super sharp wing.
Then, I've used a soft black eyeliner to draw in my guide for my cut crease. I have slightly hidden eyelids, so I've actually drawn my crease just above where my actual crease is, so that it still shows when my eyes are open. Also, if black is too harsh for you, you could use a dark brown.
Next, use a small soft brush to blend that eyeliner out. Use a small amount of black eyeshadow to help the blending. Blend blend blend. Blend more. And again. No harsh lines allowed.
So I was using a silver/rainbow glitter, so I used a silver eyeshadow underneath. You don't have to use an eyeshadow at all, but I think it helps. I used a flat, dense brush to press this up to where I've laid down that black liner and shadow. Try not to go over the black, but if you do, don't worry, just use the smaller brush you used first to blend it out.
Now, take a glitter glue i.e. Too Faced Glitter Glue, or Urban Decay Bondage and use your finger to press that over the silver/colour of your choice shadow and then use your finger to densely pack that glitter on top of the glue, again, try not to go over the black. I've done my eyes before the rest of my face here so I don't have to worry about fallout, I'll just wipe it away before I do my foundation etc.
Now, use a liquid eyeliner to draw your wing. Liquid works best here, especially the non-pen type because it just glides over the glitter and doesn't drag it around.
Take the tape off and use a cotton bud dipped in makeup remover to tidy up your wing if you need to, then I smudged a tiny amount of black eyeshadow into the bottom lashes to balance everything out. I then added some mascara and false lashes and woohoo! Party ready!
