Today at the Glamrs studio we decided
to do a basic cat eye but just take it
to the next level and step it up a bit.
Hi I'm Pallavi Symons, your makeup
expert at Glamrs.com.
Well I'm going to take the basic cat eye one step
further and do something slightly edgy,
something that most people don't attempt,
and another thing is, I'm going to have
fun with it with a little bit of colour
instead of doing the classic black, I'm
going to use a nice bright Cobalt Blue
and let's see how that works on Diksha.
Well I've already prepped Diksha's skin
with a really light foundation and also
done her cheeks and lips and because
when you're doing something like this
which is an edgy cat eye look and the
focus is on the eyes, everything else
needs to be more soft. So I'm going to
get started. To begin with I'm going to
mix the pigment that I'm going to use.
I'm not using a liner and I'm going to
show you how to mix a pigment. I'm using
an Inglot body pigment in an Ice Blue
and I'm going to use Duraline which is a
medium so this can be used to water down
any kind of powdery pigment or eye
shadow to create a slightly more
stronger or intense color application.
You just need to take a tiny amount of
that, and mix it with the pigment or eye
shadow you can use either and create a
liner like consistency. Simply mix. When
you're quite satisfied with what you
have, you can use a liner brush and get
started. I'm going to just set it aside.
I'm going to use a very nude pencil so
you can use a lip pencil or maybe an
eyebrow pencil.
So you want to just draw the basic line
and go over it with the liner so you
don't get it too wrong. So you can make
the corrections while you're on this step. So
using a very light pencil one that you
can see of course, just make your basic
shape of an eyeliner the one that you
desire. Now this would be any regular
liner just pick it up and wing it a bit
And now when you're doing the liner inside
on the crease you need to open your eye
because you can't tell the curve of
your eye otherwise. But because I'm doing it
on another person I'm going to have her
close her eye. But if you did it,
you would need to follow this line just like
that and inside for this look
Work into the crease but not under.
Just give yourself a guideline
and take it as far as you wish.
Just to make sure that you have some
kind of shape there. Now sharpen your
pencil and do the other side so then you
know that you have both the sides packed .
So I'm just doing the same thing on this
side.
So I've drawn myself a little guideline.
and you can be as dramatic as you want.
Take a fair amount on your brush
because you want a little playtime and take a fine point brush like that.
So now I'm beginning to take it up.
Work slowly and very patiently.
What you're basically doing is making a
nice 'V' here.
So you can thicken the band as you please.
Since she has fairly wide
eyes I'm just going a little thicker here
Well I'm just going to continue on
the other side.
I've kept the eyes clean but that doesn't
mean I haven't put any product.
I cleaned up, I colour corrected, used
concealer, powder, set it
and then it forms a perfect canvas for something
like this.
Yeah I think I've got it I'm just
cleaning up a little bit around the eyes
I am using a True Match concealer from
L'Oreal. It's kind of pale.
So what I want to do is just paint around the liner a bit.
Take a tiny amount on a paddle brush.
It shouldn't really go on as colour. I'm going as
close as possible
to the liner and cleaning it up.
I'm going to curl her lashes for more effect.
Make sure that the edges are really
curly.
Make sure the eye area is really clean
and now use a generous amount of
mascara.
Well I'm going to use a mascara by Bourjois, it's called Max Definition.
Now what I'm doing here with the mascara is,
I'm going to try and pick the lashes up
particularly in the direction of the wing.
I'm going to just offset this look with a really nice
simple looking bronze
Just so that her hands are not bare.
I'm using a Faces
nail polish in Pink Blonde.
It's quite a sheer colour so you might have to go over
with a couple of coats.
With that, there's Diksha looking
seriously sexy.
I hope you liked this one!
