I did this just today for the
first time and it was amazing! The look is
sophisticated, easy to do and can be
very dramatic without being complicated! I'm including photos I took a long the way, I simply looked at a photo of this look off the net and basically tried to copy what I saw.
Continue below for step-by step pictures!
This was what I aimed for! I love how they used blue and purple instead of just black and white! I will definitely want to experiment with color in the future!
|
Add a layer of regular foundation and then slap on lots of the lightest shade that works for you! |
|
I used a white pencil first to outline the eye area...it's much easier to clean up... |
|
Go in slowly with an angled flat brush with gel liner... |
|
After doing like so...clean up with q-tips (as seen, the cleaning smudged up beneath the eye!) |
|
Use a white base or pencil/primer all over the lid! Add a satin/shimmer dark navy onto the brow bone area! |
|
Pack on a mid-tone blue of a satin/matte finish! |
|
Using the same brush, do the design with the gel liner free hand... |
|
Complete both sides... |
|
I used a brighter teal on the lid and extended it to the tear duct area! Feather out the edges and add the navy to the lower lash line! |
|
Smudge on a purple and pink mixture! |
|
And have fun! |
|
Oh right! Line lips softly with a purplish color and fill with a red or hot pink! |
|
Be fierce! You are now technically a black swan! |
