groove slam. work it back. filter that. baby bump that track.

i did this after extreme pain and stinging in my right eye, as a result of too much rubbing with cotton pads and eye make-up remover :(

i'm thinking that i will need to switch to waterproof mascara for a while because it doesn't end up aaaaaaaaaaaall over your face after the shower and hence, reduces the need for me to attack my face to get all traces of it off!

my favourite waterproof mascara is maybelline full 'n' soft :)

big, fat liquid eyeliner along the upper lashes - MAC Penultimate Eye Liner in Rapidblack.

the only liquid eyeliner i am actually capable of using! it's like a pen and has a relatively short brush tip.

to do this type of line, i start in the middle and work out with little strokes just to the end of the eye (don't make the wing yet), then work back from the middle into the inner corner.

this line is very thin at the inner corner then gets quite thick as it moves out.

to do the wing, i try to think of the imaginary line where lower eyeliner would be, and follow it out from the outer corner - this will make it look like a long, thin flick at the end - for this look, i then drew a line from the outer tip of the line to the centre/outer-third of my eyelid and filled it in - this is what makes it look like a flat line when the eye is closed.

SHADOW! because you know i can't live without it lol...

all over, everywhere (totally accurate description):

- MAC Gesso (matte white)

- MAC Naked Lunch (shimmery goldy pink)

only in crease (with bullet brush, then fluffy brush to blend):

- Urban Decay Mad Hatter (mid-dark brown)

- Urban Decay Vorpal (mid grey)

put one tap of each colour on the brush at the same time to blend. build gradually.

Extras:

- Dior Diorshow Blackout mascara on top lashes only

- MAC Brow Set in Beguile

- Becca loose shadow in Nymph with a fluffy brush in the inner corner (upper and lower) to brighten

- Chanel Crayon Kohl in Blanc (white) on lower inner rim to open up the eye

this is the first time i've ever done the 'no-mascara-on-lower-lashes' thing - i like it, but i think the look needs to be very top-heavy to support it, like heavy eye liner or bright/dark shadow on eyelid.

you can compare with my other looks and see if you can tell the difference - let me know what you think :)

i thought i would include the picture below to show you the wacky eighties cowlick that is pretty much the bane of my existence and the reason i always have bobby pins or braids pulling the front of my hair back!

hope you guys had a gorgeous weekend!
