FOTD: Cat Eyes Purple Liner




I've been wanting to buy color eyeliners since I saw this FOTD by a friend of mine, Shelley from the Female Daily Forum, click this to check out her Youtube channel. But you see, being a broke college student who is trying it out again for another college entrance test doesn't really give me the chance to save up and buy even the cheapest color eyeliners. I've been targeting ELF Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil, they're affordable and have some beautiful colors. But for now I can't even buy them :'(

So, another friend from the Forum, I dunno what's her name, I've been calling her her ID, which is Pinkyrose. She read somewhere that you can mix contact lenses solution with eyeshadow on your liner brush, and voila, you have color eyeliners! This info is very helpful because it helps the penniless me to experiment. And the result is magical.

Here's what I came up with.



excuse my messy eyebrows

Eyes:
Nonna Eyeshadow Palette (ivory, light brown, peach, white)
88 Ultrashimmer Eyeshadow Palette (dark blueish purple, light purple)
My Darling Liquid Eyeliner
Maybelline The Magnum Mascara
Inez Eyeliner Pencil in White
Inez Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown

Lips:
Maybeline Watershine Pure in P12

Face:
Inez Precious Powdery Cake in Deep Peach
Nonna Blush Palette (orange, peachy pink)
Nonna Eyeshadow Palette (ivory)


How I did it:

Eyes: I didn't put any base for this look. So I drew a white line with Inez Eyeliner Pencil in Whitefrom the outer corner of my eyes outwards. I did this to make a limitation so when I drew the cat eyes liner it would be more precise. First I put the ivory color from the Nonna Eyeshadow Palette on my lids. Then using blending brush, I put the light brown color from the same palette on my crease and blended it in. After that I put the peach color on my browbone as highlight. Then I drew the cat eyes liner with My Darling Eyeliner Liquid. Now, the fun part. I dipped my small round liner brush into the contact lenses solution. Then after drying it a little bit, I put it in light purple eyeshadow from the 88 Ultrashimmer Palette. After that I drew another line using that color on the top of the black cat eyes line on my eyes. I cleaned the same brush, and did the same thing with the dark blueish purple from the same palette. I drew the line on my waterline and lowerlash line, and on the outer corner, I pulled the line a bit downwards so the white line I drew earlier would be in between the black liner and the dark blueish purple liner. I put white eyeshadow from the Nonna Palette on the top of the white liner. I put Maybelline The Magnum Mascara on my lashes and drew my eyebrow with Inez Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown, and I was done with my eyes.

Lips:
I just put on the Maybelline Watershine Pure in P12 on my lips.

Face:
I tapped some Inez Precious Powdery Cake in Deep Peach on my whole face. I applied the orange blush from Nonna Blush Palette on the apple of my cheeks then on my cheek bone I applied the peachy pink from the same palette.
