Pinky Wings

Hey you guys!  Quick and fun eyeshadow tutorial coming your way. :)  As I mentioned in my previous post, the new school quarter has started for me and I've been frazzled trying to get everything in order.  This means barely any time for makeup.  Yeah yeah, I know I have my go-to makeup for school days, but I've been thinking...I'm an art student for gosh sakes!  Shouldn't I be doing something colorful and creative to reflect my passion?  With that in mind, I came up with a way to make my makeup flashy in a flash!  Check it out:



 I've been wearing my eyes this way all week, in a variety of colors.  Hot pink is one of my favorites however, I've received the most compliments from this combo.

As always, start with a primed eye:


Next, using black gel/cream eyeliner, I'm going to draw a dramatic wing along my upper lash line:


Don't worry if it isn't too tidy.  We'll clean that up later.  Then, I'm going to line the outer corner of my lower lash line with the same gel liner:


Now's the fun part!  Let's add some color!  I'm going to grab some hot pink eyeshadow, here I'm using Sugarpill's Dollipop, and I'm going to trace along to top of my winged eyeliner:


I'm also going to add a little bit along the outer corner of my bottom lash line as well...just a touch, we want the wing to be the star, but this pulls the entire look together:


To wrap it up, I just refine my eyeliner using some liquid liner (which gives you sharp, crisp lines), curl lashes, and add mascara:


Tada!  Easy, colorful "Cat" eye. (lol)  Hope you found this useful and have fun with it!  Thanks for reading and have a great night!

Hugs,
Cat

    1. Yes! Their eyeshadows are soooooooo brightly pigmented. So much fun! I had wanted to purchase the Burning Heart palette at the time, but they were sold out... I'm now tempted again. I'll bet you rocked this look the other night! :D

  4. Makes sense you're an art student! What is your concentration? I hope Daisy is ok and good luck with the new quarter, it sounds like you're an amazing, organized multi-tasker...So you'll be fine!

    1. Hey Ella! Long time no see! :) I'm working towards my BFA in multimedia graphic design. It's fun, but these upper division classes are starting to become challenging and I'm a little nervous around material that I'm inexperienced in...but I guess that's all a part of the learning process! Thanks for your concern regarding my little Daisy and for your faith in me to succeed! xoxo
