then i used a stick black eyeliner, estee lauder-softsmudge black, and lined my whole eye

and...on to my favorite part....the liquid. i started with the inner and then towards the outside of the eye....i find it easier to do it all in one stroke, quick not slow if you do it slow it tends to be more shakey...
so line the top and bottom, i used lorel liner intense

then mascara and curl the lashes

and basicly your done after that...but if you want something extra for a club/party/halloween/justbecauseyourfunlikethat then follow these steps:


now put the teal and gold in a swirl pattern or any way you like

and then freehand a design with the liquid...i chose to do leaves and vines

You did a very nice job. When I originally saw it in the FOTD section I thought it was too intimidating to try but now that you took it step by step I think I could do it.

Amazing look, I might just give it a try, although I know you are making the cat's eye liner look way easier than it is!!

How long did it take you to be able to do it so perfectly??? I'd love to be able to do it in one long quick sweep, better get practicing i guess!

I never thought of actually drawing with a liquid eyeliner. That's a great idea I should try it sometime!
