The first beauty blog I've ever read was Nikki's, and ever since that read, I fancied about being a pro with eye makeup. Nikki does an awesome job with her eye tuts. Too awesome that it makes a makeup newbie dream that she can pamper her eyes with a splash of wonderful colors, too!
So I tried prettifying my own peepers using the 4U2 Gemtone Eyeshadow Quad in Moonstone.
I stated that S2 and S3 looked similar on the pan during my previous post, I proved my observation wrong with this EOTD...
And I mentioned, too, that S4 looked horrible, well yes, it did.
Bodyshop crayon concealer in 02 applied all over the lid as a base; also applied on the undereye area
S3 brushed all over the lids using ELF shadow brush
S2 patted on the outer third of the lids using same brush
S1 on the inner corner & inner 2/3 of the lower lashline
Maybelline Vivid & Smooth Eyeliner in Brown (unsharpened, hence it looked kinda awful)
Maybelline Unstoppable Shiny Black Mascara + lash curler
And as a newbie, I FORGOT to highlight!
I thought that it looked to strong for my small eyes. And so I painted my eyelids with less color.
A more 'serene' eye. Oh, and I remembered to highlight! Just had to buff and blend well.
Bodyshop crayon concealer in 02 applied all over the lid as a base; also applied on the undereye area
S1 brushed all over the lids using ELF shadow brush
Bodyshop Argyle Pink below the crease using Nichido sponge tip applicator
Bodyshop Imperial Purple on outer 3rd of the lower lashline using Fanny Serrano eyeliner brush
Bodyshop Dusted Silver on the brow bone down to the area between nose and eye using ELF shadow brush
Bodyshop Dusted Silver on the inner corner of eye and on inner 2/3 of the lower lashline using Fanny Serrano eyeliner brush
The Face Shop's pen eyeliner in Black
Maybelline Unstoppable Shiny Black Mascara + lash curler
Fashion21 brow kit
The tools. Gawd, I forgot how to count! 1-2-4-wth?
1. 4U2 Gemtone Quad (P424/$9)
2. Fashion 21 Brow Kit (P100+/$2)
4. old lash curler I need to replace
5. Bodyshop crayon concealer 02 (P600+/$13)
6. ELF eyeshadow brush (P129/$2... it's just a dollar in the U.S., i know)
7. Nichido's sponge tip applicator (set of, erm, 4? or 5? P36.50/75cents)
8. Fanny Serrano short eyeliner brush (P75/$1.50)
9. The Face Shop pen eyeliner in Black
10. Bodyshop's shimmer+sparkle cubes (P1000+/$20)
I only used ELF's eyeshadow brush for these looks (no blending brush or crease brush or whatever... i can't believe it). It is amateur, but methinks I pulled through just fine.
Once I get to buy the other important eye brushes (I'm thinking of MAC 217 and 239) and some fancy lashes, I think I can live up to creating an Askmewhats eye look I've always wanted.
