Daytime eye-liner look

For the daytime eye look I decided to go for a natural eye-liner which outlines the eye but keeps it looking natural and subtle for the daytime.

Step by step:-

• Cleanse the whole eye area
• Closely analyse the eye shape in order to follow the slants of the eyes
• Apply a subtle, natural eye-shadow
• Apply a thin layer of mascara to the lashes and wait for it to dry before moving on to the next step
• Draw a horizontal line with eyes half open
• Connect tip of the line to midpoint of eyes in a straight line
• Line the entire eye and keep inner half thin

I was very happy with my overall result for my daytime eye-liner. I feel a thin line across the top of the eye lid widens the eye and makes you look more awake. It is definitely a great look for the daytime when you wake up and you want to look a bit more awake. I also feel the natural golden eye shadow is great as it brightens up the whole eye.

Evening eye-liner look

For the evening eye look I decided to go for a winged tip eye-liner style. For this I used a gel pot eye-liner to get a defined look.

Step by step:-

• Cleanse the whole eye area 
• Closely analyse the eye shape in order to follow the slants of the eyes
• Apply a bronzed eye shadow across the eyelids
• Apply a dark grey to the outer eyelid blending it upwards into the crease of the eye
• Apply a layer of mascara to the eye lashes and wait for it to dry before moving on to the next step
• Apply false eye lashes to make the eyes look more defined for an evening look
• Apply tape against the outer corner of the eyes
• Apply a black gel liner with an angled or pointed brush
• Start from the inner to the outer edges of the upper lash-line
• Make the line at a 45 degree angle and start from the outer corner

I was very happy with the overall outcome of my winged tip eye-liner look. I feel this was a good choice for an evening look as the eye-liner is quite dramatic. I also created a smoky eye-shadow look to match the evening look. To get the eye-liner looking so defined I began by drawing the winged tip with eye-shadow first so it would be easier for me to erase if I messed up. I also applied tape against the outer corners of the eyes to use as a ruler to make sure the wings are straight.

Spring/Summer 2016 eye-liner look
For the spring/summer eye-liner look I decided to go for a thick winged tip eye-liner to make an obvious statement using a blue gel liner to relate it to spring/summer 2016

Step by step:-

• Cleanse the whole eye area 
• Closely analyse the eye shape in order to follow the slants of the eyes
• Apply a pale pink eye shadow to the inner side of the eyes
• Apply a bright blue eye shadow to the outer eyelid blending it inwards into the pink making sure both colours are blended nicely
• Apply a layer of mascara to the eye lashes and wait for it to dry before moving on to the next step
• Apply a blue gel liner with an angled or pointed brush
• Start from the inner to the outer edges of the upper lash-line
• Make the line at a 45 degree angle and start from the outer corner

I was very happy with my final result for the spring/summer 2016 eye-liner. I decided I would use some spring/summer colours for the eye shadow so I chose pink and blue and made sure they blended nicely together. I feel this looked very effective and brightened the eye up making it look very summery. I then also decided to use a dark blue gel liner to place across the top of the eye lid which I feel matched really well with the eye shadow given the overall look a successful outcome.
