Peacock inspired colourful eye makeup - step by step instructions

Want to learn how to go
From this to this ?


Here are the step-by-step instructions. (Unfortunately forum rules don't permit me to post my photos, or i would have demonstrated how to do this makeup on my own eyes.)



You will need
1. yellow, green, purple, dark blue, orange, pink eyeshadows (of these yellow and green can be matte or shimmer textured...others must be matte)

2. Black eyeliner

3. Mascara

4. Shimmery white eyeshadow or matte skin tome eyeshadow


Okay lets get started....


1. Apply yellow in the inner corner of ur eyes



2. Apply pink all over the eyes...lightly (a thin layer, just for a hint of colour)and blend it well



3. Apple green in the center of the eyelids, on top of the pink. Apply generously (thick layer) blend the edge where it meets yellow for a nice shaded look

 

4. Apply dark blue on the outer corner near the green (a generously thick layer)
blend the edge where it meets green for a nice shaded look


5. Apply purple above the blue and take it in, on top of the green. Blend where the edges of blue and green shadows meet purple, for a smooth transition



6. Apply orange on the lower lash line, from the yellow till just past the center...don't take it till the outer corner



7. Apply a highlight...This goes above your purple eyeshadow near the brows.

Here you have 2 options...either keep it simple and matte or go for shimmery silver/white highlight. It depends on whether you are wearing it during day or night...and your preference...


You can either use a shimmery silver highlight


Or you can use a flesh tone matte eyeshadow or compact foundation powder. I like it simple and matte. It makes it look like your skin.

 

If you have a fair complexion, you can even stop at this point and apply your mascara.

If you have a dark complexion like me...it will look better with eyeliner...

8. Apply your eyeliner on top and bottom outer corner lash line



9. Smudge the eyeliner (you can smudge with black eyeshadow, but its optional)



10. Apply some purple eyeshadow on the bottom lash line and smudge



11. Apply mascara on top and bottom lashes..





Try this colourful eye makeup with a simple black top or dress....

Enjoy !
