Following
on from
yesterdays post about my evening base makeup, I bring you my evening
eye and lip makeup. This routine is (hopefully) a lot shorter to read than yesterdays.
However, it's the one which takes the most time because I like to do a winged
eyeliner look, which is notorious for taking FOREVER.
I
start by taking
MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle and sweeping
this all over my eyelid, right up to the eyebrow as a very subtle eye shadow.
The focus is on the eyeliner and the lashes rather than the eye shadow with
this look.
Next
I take the
Rimmel London Glam'Eyes liquid liner. I draw a thin line as close to
my eyelashes as possible. From about halfway along the lash line to the outer
corner I draw the line a bit thicker. Finally, I wing the eyeliner out as
though it would connect to my eyebrow from the bottom lashes. Then I join the
wing to the top lashes.
Whilst
waiting for my eyeliner to dry, I will put the first layer of the
YSL Glossy Stain in colour #11. It's important to do this in layers so that it lasts as
long as possible.
Once
my eyeliner is dry, I will give my lashes a curl. Mascara follows, which comes
in the form of the
Maybelline Mega Plush for the top lashes. Only on the top
lashes. If I use this mascara on my bottom lashes, I find that it's wayyyy to
clumpy. I usually apply 2-3 coats of mascara here. On my bottom lashes, I use
the
Covergirl Clump Crusher. This is so much better for the bottom lashes
because it's clump free.
Who would've guessed?
Once
that is done, I will pop a bit of more of the Soft and Gentle in the inner
corners of my eyes for an added highlight. Next, I swipe on a second coat of
my YSL Glossy Stain.
Eyebrows are next, and I use the
Nars Eyebrow Pencil in Panama to fill them in a touch. I also give them a quick swipe over with an eyebrow brush. Finally, I add a third coat of the Glossy Stain and I'm done!
So
there you have it, part two of my evening makeup ritual, hope you enjoyed
it!
