Anyway I didn’t like how this one turned out but I decided to post it anyway. I haven’t done anything this colourful in a long time now and I thought some of you guys might appreciate it.
I don’t remember what I used exactly, but I did take photos of the actual colours I use so I’m sure you guys can find dupes for it. I think if you own a 120 palette or even and 88 shimmer palette you’ll be able to find colours like it.
Step 1: Start off with a nice clean eye by ridding of excess oil on the lid |
Step 2: Prime your whole lid up to the brow. Here I had used MAC Paint Pot in Painterly. |
First colour you'll need is a nice rich Blue. |
Step 3: Apply the blue all over hte lid and remember to blend out the harsh lines upward a little |
Second eyeshadow colour you will need is a bright purple |
Step 4: Apply the purple in the crease making sure to blend it with the blue. Tip: Build the purple up slowly with a fluffy blending blush to avoid piling on too much to begin with. |
Third eyeshadow colour is a vibrant green. |
Step 5: Pat the green colour onto the centre of the eyelid, on top of the blue |
Step 6: Blending the green with a fluffy blending brush. Tip: keep building the colour and blending it as you go until you reach your desired intensity. |
Fourth eyeshadow colour is a matte black. All other previous eyeshadows are pearl/shimmer base, therefore the black should be matte to balance it out. |
Fifth eyeshadow colour is for the highlight of the brow bone. I have chosen a very light skintone colour, I'm not much of a white highlight fan. |
Step 8: Highlight your brows and blend the purple to reduce the harshness of the lines. |
Step 10: This is optional, apply false eyeslahes other just mascara and you're good to go. |
Step 11: Apply false lashes with glue and remember to cover any glue mark with black eyeshadow. |
Step 12: Dont' forget to put mascara on to blend your real lashes with the fake. Also apply some mascara to your lower lashes. |
I added a little bit of a shimmer ot the inner corners of the eyes later on. |
Completed! |

ReplyDeleteThis is so nice! :D Great color blending, and you are totally right, the matte black tones down the shimmer just enough! >o.O<
ReplyDelete@MrsKittyKaBoom: Thanks so much :)Yeah the matte black balanced it all out in the end. I'm glad I didnt go ahead with a shimmer black :p
