So here we are with Episode 7 of IndieAna's Come Play With Me mini-series - and I'm delighted to report we have a new member of the cast, the lovely AND talented Monique from make-up with monnii, who also chose the theme of Wing It Out. Monnii created a simple yet stunning winged eye look, and challenged the rest of us gals to do the same...
Adding a wing to my eye look always adds extra drama, so I went for a bold aquamarine pigment to conrast with the black of the MNY Master Precise Liquid Liner that I always use for my flicks. Can't imagine EVER using any other product for this purpose - it's superfine and super-easy to work with. I also blocked out the outer corner with the liner and softened it with the shadow. Just for a change, I lined my top lashline as well - I so rarely do this because it makes my spindly lashes all but disappear boo...
I started with ye olde essence white kajal as a base, and added matte aqua from the bhcosmetics Take Me To Brazil palette to both the top lid, and underneath the lower lashline...
On the waterline is Mirenesse Superlong Wear Gel Mineral Face Colour in Blue Moon...
This was a whole lot of fun, even though I had to have a few goes at it (the first two were unpublishable disasters!), but I never give up without a fight, especially where eye make up is concerned lol...
You can see Monique Kerstin's edgy and expertly executed double-wing black and gold look here...
And IndieAna's goegeous green creation here...
Edit - If you're looking for a wow tonight, check out Hailey's stunning feathered look, it's magnificent...
Hoping some of the other gals will join in too, and I'll add their links as they come on line ♥
Take care of you,
kats xxx
Just stunning and love the blue moon color you selected for this look Kat
ReplyDeleteYou should really do a detailed tutorial on how you do your eye makeup xx
So lovely of you to say Varinder - hmm yes a tutorial. I've had some requests for a video - I don't have the right equipment yet, but I could manage some stills and notes. Will put it on the agenda for a weekend ♥
DeleteI LOVE IT KATS!!! Your little flick is so perfect! And I love how you've made it slightly darker then the shadow so it really stands out. It deserves an award! The blue is super pretty also. It reminds me of a river in Summer :)
ReplyDeleteAww hon you're so kind - lol, looking at it now I can hardly believe I wore this to work on Monday! From the both eye shots it looks like there's no flick on the other side, but it was there, I just didn't get the camera angle right ♥
DeleteWhat was that nonsense about not being able to create a wing?! Kats you nailed it! Such a cute little flick that complements your eyes so well, paired with the gorgeous blue is a match made in heaven xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giggle Monique, and the vote of confidence - it sure isn't anything like yours hon, my eyes just aren't the right shape to do a single sweeping line, so I cheated a little and just tacked a teeny weeny flick on the end ♥
DeleteWow, Kats, I was expecting greatness, but this is wonderful and really suits you, hun!
ReplyDeleteSweet Indie, thanks babe - I do love how a wing extends the eye shape and length, although personally I think this is a bit bat-girlish or maybe it's cat woman? Either way I think it would team well with a mask lol...
DeleteD'awwww! I think your flick is the most adorable thing ever, very nice! I love how you kept it 'you', it really suits you :)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you dear lady - your words hit a spot in my old ticker and gave me such a boost, I'm thrilled you think it's "me", one of the loveliest compliments ever hon ♥
