NEW cat eye tutorial. chrome yellow, swimming, blah.

I didn't get a picture of all the stuff you need for this, so I'll just list it :]

-white cream eyeshadow
-chrome yellow e/s
-any orange eyeshadow(i used a cheap brand, but mac's orange probably would have looked much better)
-swimming e/s
-urban decay polyester bride e/s
-lancome defincils mascara e/s
-lancome chocolat brulee e/s
-revlon colorstay liquid liner(sponge tip)
-max factor liquid liner(brush)


okay start out with a clean face/eye


using my finger, I applied the white cream eyeshadow all over my lid


just using a sponge applicator, apply chrome yellow alllll over...it doesn't have to be neat


Then, using a fluffy angled brush, get orange eyeshadow on the tip of it


starting out from the inner corner of your eye lid, sweep the brush up and out into your crease.


it should look like this


this part is optional, but i wanted more of a finished look, so I used my blending brush to clean it up a bit.


now using an angled liner brush, load it with swimming

dab it like that on your lid, I'd have used a pencil brush, but i don't have one so I had to make due haha


using the same brush, just smooth it out a bit


this is what you should have so far. I decided to leave out the eyebrow thing cause i re-did my eyebrows the other day and they look much nicer haha


now comes the eyeliner part...the picture isn't that clear, but you can see how im stretching out my lid so the line goes on smoother. I'm using revlons colorstay in this one because its easier to use a sponge with you're doing the actual wing.


what you should have


Then doing the same thing as before, create another line this time extending to the outer edge of your eye, it should look like a 45 degree angle sort of.


Filling it in is the easiest part haha


now using the max factor brush liner, create one thin line across your lash line connecting the inner corner of your eyes to the wing. Don't worry if it gets on your lashes.


I know this is really dark, but you can see the angle which i apply it...and lining smoothly takes a LOT of practice...a lot of people don't get it the first time, so don't feel discouraged if you can't get it at first.


what you should have


now take your fingers and try to get all the eyeliner from off of your lashes, you can also use cotton pads to do this


then take the sponge eyeliner again and create a tiny dot at where you want your inner cat eye to end


create a thin line leading from the end of your eyeliner to the dot like so


then create another line from the dot to your bottom lashes and fill it in. And again, don't get discouraged if you don't get this at first, because I still have trouble with it haha


Then curl your lashes for about ten seconds


apply mascara first to the top of your lashes


and then smooth it out by applying it to the bottom of your top lashes, and your bottom lashes


a lot of people don't like doing this, but i do it anyways haha...I curl my lashes for about thirty seconds after I apply the mascara


it makes them stay curled for much longer


now taking the same angled liner brush, load just the tip with swimming again.


and line under your bottom lashes

Then I applied regular black eyeliner to my waterline


and UD's polyester bride to highlight


done!!!

I always love your tutorials and looks. This is no exemption. I liked it after you applied the first two shadows. You could have stopped there. LOL. You always have such interesting color combinations that I would never think to try. And I haven't seen anything new by you in a while so I'm glad to see you back!

Beautiful! I REALLY like the yellow.. It's chrome yellow? I don't think Yellow would suit my pale skin as it does yours though

Also, you have amazing pictures. What kind of camera do you use??
post #7 of 109
the color combinations here are great, and i think your step-by-little-step pictures are great. not to mention, i love the look! i'd love to see a full-on face shot to get a real idea of the total effect.

thanks!!

thanks :] and yeah, its chrome yellow, sometimes if you go for a more pale yellow, it can work on pale skin, try canary yellow or something sort of pastel like

and my camera's a sony cybershot 5.1, its the BEST camera I've ever had, i recommend it to everybody haha
