A Little Liner

Within my morning routine of coffee, breakfast, makeup, hair; I tend to get a little bored with the same look everyday.  Since I don't always have time to play with different eyeshadows or different curling irons, on the mornings that I do, I try to play up my eyes to discover the perfect fun, non-boring everyday look.  And I think I've finally found it!



It's not too dramatic, and not too plain, but a little bit of shimmer mixed with liquid liner gave me me the perfect flirty eye!


Step 1.  Prime the eye with your favorite eye primer.  I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

Step 2.  Using a large shader brush, Pack and sweep on a light shadow that matches your skin tone.  I used Mac in Blanc Type.

Step 3.  Using a medium shader brush, pack on a light, champagne hue to the inner corner of your eye, continuing into the middle of the lid.  I used Mac in Nylon.

Step 4.  Using the same medium shader brush, pack on a light brown shadow to the outer part of the lid, dragging it up into the crease just slightly.  I used Mac in All That Glitters.

Step 5.  Using a crease brush, sweep a deep tan, matte shadow from the inner corner crease, to the outer corner.  I used Mac Colourization Duo (Teal and Tan hues-Summer 2011)

Step 6.  Using a dome shaped brush, lightly shade in the outer corner using a small circular motion with a deep maroon shade.  I used Mac in Sketch.

Step 7.  Line the waterline with a white eyeliner.  I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk.

Step 8.  Line the upper lash line with your favorite liquid liner.  I used Loreal Paris Eye Marker in Blackest Black.

Step 9.  Finally, brush on one coat of your favorite mascara.  I used Bobbi Brown extreme length.
