LINER CHALLENGE

If I look tired it's because I did these after uni!

Hey guys, finally a make-up post. Would of posted this sooner but we had no internet for 4 days..... bearable, but annoying. Anyway this will be a part of a continuing series because I think it's quite cool to see how many ways you can use black eyeliner to 'change' the eyes. For most of them it's just gel eyeliner and some concealer to clean the edges or highlight areas. I do these on top of my existing day make-up so if you see brown eye-shadow that's why.

Hope you like some of the styles I came up with!

L.F DOES S/S - SEW EASY

So simple and stunning..... let's see where this could go.

Much easier than eyeliner! Ha.

KEY PRODUCTS:

MAC PAINTPOT - BARE STUDY (USED AS HIGHLIGHT

NARS ILLUMINATOR - ORGASM

BLACK POLYESTER THREAD

DUO ADHESIVE

Hey guys, a bit different to my usual stuff ey? Ironically this took me awhile as I wasn't pleased with my first try. You could see the glue and I got a bit too 'perfectionist' mode on it, when I think it's just about having a fun 'throw on' vibe about it. 

Second time round I only used glue on the 'starting' point of the thread and with each shot quickly reshuffle it so the thread made its own pattern rather than me manipulating it all.

Which one is your favourite? 

L.F DOES S/S - LINE AND BRONZE

Harper's Bazaar's White Heat June issue starring Eva Green by Camilla Akrans

 I was loosely inspired by the image above. I was drawn to the graphic lined eyes and bronzed skin

Apologies for looking like a possessed demon

 BREAK DOWN OF MY INTERPRETATION:
INTENTIONAL HEAVY BRONZER (GO FOR WARMER ORANGE TONE) PLACED IN THE CONTOUR AREA

BROWS IN A ROUNDED AND ELONGATED SHAPE

MATTE CORAL LIP- THE TEXTURE IS LESS GLAMOROUS THAN THE GLOSS BUT ALLOWS THE FOCUS TO BE ON THE EYES
INNER EYE CONTOUR WORK - NOT NECESSARY BUT I WANTED TO ADD SOME DEFINITION
BLACK GRAPHIC LINED EYES IN ELONGATED CAT SHAPE- REMEMBER TO LINE YOUR UPPER AND LOWER WATERLINE OR IT'LL LOOK INCOMPLETE!

Hey guys! This is another S/S inspired look from me. It's quite rare for me to get drawn to overtly warm hued bronzer type looks but paired with the heavy clean rimmed black eyes, I think adds an edge to more traditional minimalist S/S looks.
I've gone for the more extreme 'fashion' take on Eva's look but to make it more wearable switching the gel liner for a pencil formula and smudging the lines will give a softer and less harsh appearance.

I *think* next week I'll be doing a Tom Ford  inspired look, so watch this space!
