Eye Makeup Tutorial

Sorry I've not been terribly active here! I've had a rather hectic week with a lot of things happening - also started up a side blog that I've been organising and writing things for  ;v; so you might get some second-hand stuff, sorry!

Before I start, please don’t ask why the hell I made more work for myself by deciding to make a drawn tutorial. I’m dumb. There are tonnes and tonnes of videos like this but I felt like drawing something.

[DON’T STEAL THIS IMAGE PLS]

[Optional] Wear circle lenses of 14mm+ to enlarge your eyes further, ones with black rings around the outside will be maximum enlargement however will look less natural, please consult your eye doctor dude before wearing them if you’re uncertain.
(for a more natural look, avoid using black make-up, instead use dark brown)

Start by doing your regular face routine (moisturise!), which might involved applying concealer and foundation, or not if you’re blessed with having goddess like skin.

Apply eyeliner - pencil or liquid to the center of your eyelid and extending past your natural eyeliner. Do not curve upwards or it’ll break the ‘dolly’ effect.

Apply white eyeliner to the bottom half of your eyelid, following how the natural shape of your eye goes, only further down, also line the waterline. This’ll make your sclera seem larger. You can use eye crayon instead for the eyelid for a softer look. Also apply some to the corners of your eyes
.
Apply eyelid primer.

Use a light brown eyeshadow (with a soft, small, flat round edged brush) to shade where shown on the picture. You can use eye crayon here too if you wish,
Use mascara on your top eyelashes, and sparingly on your bottoms ones, making sure not to go past the centre line, and even less for the lower lid. Apply false eyelashes if you wish.

[optional] Use a brown eyeshadow with more pinky undertones around the area shown, make sure to blend well. 

If you decide to shade in your eyebrows, try not to add too much BELOW the eyebrow, instead add to the top for a more innocent look, and don’t feel you have to stick to what’s labelled! You can use a bit of eyeshadow on your eyebrows for a softer look.

Try to remember the brushes you use will show on the outcome of your look, sharp angular brushes will create precise, harsh lines for a more grown-up look whereas rounded, softer brushes will make for a soft, gentle look.
