So, that’s what at first occurred with this specific look here. started out, I was in the mood for black feline eyeliner, however I was rushing, as well as things got out of hand quickly.

Because I didn’t have sufficient time to eliminate whatever as well as begin once again from scratch, I recalled the technique I’ve been utilizing lately with light pencil liner to make my lids look less hooded, as well as I employed a similar method to repair this mishap.

Here’s what I did.

I dipped a flat angled clean into a sparkly bronze eyeshadow, wet that clean head with a setting spray, as well as mixed it directly on top of the black liner from the inner corner to about three fourths of the method out.

Why?

Well, just like exactly how applying a light-colored liner on the upper lash line opens up the eye, layering a bronze on top of black likewise makes lids look a lot more pronounced as well as larger than they truly are.

Next, I cleaned the clean I used, dipped it into a dark brown, as well as mixed that on the outer corner of the black liner to soften it as well as produce the illusion of a bit a lot more lift.

I didn’t completely appreciate just exactly how much larger it made my lids look up until I got to Costco as well as started trying on potential eyeglasses…

I took a photo of my deal with without frames so I might compare it to pics of myself using a few of the new frames I was thinking about (because I’m nerdy like that), as well as when I saw my makeup in the extreme overhead Costco lighting, I realized — OH, SNAP! — this eye makeup was really working for me.

Yeah…I’m absolutely gonna do this again, but, like, on purpose. LOL!
