This is my second Shake Up Your Make Up post and I'm already having great fun!
Today was another ''first'' for me.
Gel Eyeliner
I'm usually a felt tip liquid liner type of gal. Solid in my faith. I usually go for slight flicks to emphasise shape but no more.... usually, however now, well I might just be a convert.
I'm always scared with felt tip liner of taking my flicks to the extreme but today I went for it.
The products I used to create my Statement Eyes
Blank Canvas Lip Defining Brush (yes, it works really well as just that but I wanted a nice thick brush for the eyeliner and this worked amazingly well)
NYC Show Time Volumising Mascara
Ok hold up! This mascara? BRILLIANT! It's priced at £1.99 and here are some photos for your comparison
Does exactly what it says it does!
So yes! I blended the white from the NYC Quattro just under my browline for highlighting. I used the light purple shade as a base to just up past my eyelid crease and I blended the deeper purple into the crease. THEN I applied the Gel Liner.
Et Voila!
The biggest flick I've ever worn. I think I love it. Gel eyeliner is absolutely, hands down, the best way to achieve this kind of flickage! It's just like painting! I may even go even bigger next time...
I'd love to know your thoughts on my Shake Up Your Make Up efforts. Purple statement eye. Is it a winner? Or are we still preferring the glitter eye from yesterday's efforts?

I think I'm an eyeliner whore; I have every type and they are all well loved! This look you've created is fab, and that mascara looks AMAZING! £1.99 seriously?! Get me to superdrug! ;) xo

I know serious bargain alert! xx
DeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteI find flicks on myself easiest with a felt tip pen, but on clients I use a flat top definer!
Jane Bradley has a DVD out that teaches how to do flicks. It may be on YouTube, but it's foolproof!

Hmmm flat top definer you say? Must look into that! Will have a look for that video, thanks Sam x
DeleteGel eyeliner is amazing for big flicks but lately I've gotten so lazy using my pen eyeliner-I don't know if I'd ever go back! Purple looks beautiful on your eyes :)
ReplyDeleteIt does take a little more effort, thanks very much not my usual colours at all x
DeleteOh wow that is one perfect flick!!
