The Daily Face - January 19, 2012 

under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325

eyeliner: The Body Shop Liquid Liner in Black, NARS Eye Pencil in Hollywoodland

eye shadow: MAC Eyeshadow in Pen ‘N Pink, NARS Eyeshadow Duo in Bellissima

eye brows: MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Fling

eye lashes: Lancome Hypnose Drama

cheeks: NARS Blush in Penny Lane

In my last post I demonstrated a smudged eyeliner and talked about how eyeliner can completely change the shape of the eye.  Here is my follow up look, a clean liquid lined eye.  Notice the dramatic difference between the two looks and how each style has a varying effect on my eye shape.  I think it pretty incredible how something as simple as eyeliner can completely alter our face.  I urge you to experiment with varying techniques to see how they change your own face.  You’ll probably find one way you think looks best (for me in the winged liner), but don’t get pigeon-holed into only wearing your makeup that way.

I began this look by lining the top lids with liquid liner from The Body Shop.  This is a great liquid liner if you’re a beginner because it’s not waterproof.  That means you can apply it and then shape it easily with a damp Q-tip.  I made pretty a dramatic, 60’s cat eye here.

Next I applied MAC Pen ‘N Pink shadow to the lid from liner to crease.  Then I used the brownish-gray shade from the NARS Bellissima Duo to contour the crease of the eye.  Both of the shadows I used are matte.

Next I applied the NARS Eye Pencil in Hollywoodland wrapping around inner corners of the eyes.

Lastly I applied mascara and NARS Cream Blush in Penny Lane to the apples of the cheeks.
