Christmas is coming! - Eye tutorial -


Christmas is one of my favorite holiday's, I just enjoy the weather and the good company and the gifts obviously! I wanted to do Halloween tutorials and I did a few actually but I wasn't pleased with the results and how the photos looked that I just gave up. But I came back and bring an easy and very green good looking eye make-up tutorial with accesible colors and a great result!


What you'll need:
  • Eyeshadows: Light, medium, dark and very dark green (lid)
    Shimery white (inner corner) and black (underneath the water line)
  • White eye pencil (water line).
  • Liner: I used a liquid eyeliner but you can use eather gel, liner or a black eye pencil.
  • Black mascara.
  • Brushes: One for placing the eye shadow (a flat one), other for bledding (a fluffy one), a rounder small fluffly (crease) and a diagonal one (the one that is used for the brows).

LET'S BEGIN!



STEP ONE


Using the white eye pencil, place it all over the lid.

STEP TWO


Blend the product with a finger. Blend well!

And you'll get something like this.

STEP THREE

Using a flat brush, apply the light green eyeshadow in the inner corner of the eye.

STEP FOUR

With the flat brush, apply the medium green in the center of the eye lid and blend well
both colors. Remember, the idea is to create a nice gradient so, BLEND BLEND BLEND! :) 

STEP FIVE

With the flat brush (or really, any brush that it works for you) apply the dark green in the 
outer corner of the eye. Blend both colors well!

STEP SIX

Now, using a fluffly rounded brush and using the darkest green eyeshadow place it in the crease
and start to blend.


And this is the result...

STEP SEVEN

With the bigger fluffly brush, blend the darkest green eyeshadow.

STEP EIGHT

This is a fun step! Here, using a make-up remover pad or towel and using your finger
remove the excess of eyeshadow starting from the most inner corner of the eye to...

...The outside. And this is pretty much the result!

STEP NINE

Using a shimery eyeshadow, apply it the inner corner of the eye. In this way
your eye would look bigger and awake.

STEP TEN

Line the waterline with the white eye pencil. (Using white in the waterline gives the
effect of a bigger eye too)

STEP ELEVEN

With the flat kinda diagonal brush and using black eyeshadow, outline just in that part outside
the waterline and where the lower lashes are.

You'll get something like this.

STEP TWELVE

Line the eye creating a thin line using any liner of your preference. Here I'm using a liquid one.

STEP TWELVE
Apply a few coats of mascara in the lower and upper lashes.

AND WALLAHHH!


Look at this awesome result! This is totally a holiday make-up, you will get compliments all over, its easy 
and looks great in any eyeshape! 

Remember, there is no need to have the same exact colors or products or brushes as long 
you play with you have and try to get a similar look! Hope you like it and rock it this chirstmas or
at any ocation you have.

Thanks!
