Make up : How to transform round eyes to 'cat eyes' and how to complete that type of make up

Hey everybody ! :)




Today i will show you step by step a nice make up look that will give the 'cat eye' effect to round eyes . Also you can see how to combine it softly with juicy lips in a way that is suitable even for work !

If you have any question or request feel free to contact me on Skype or via email ( you will find my contact info below at the end of the article :D ) ^^ 

First of all , special thanx to Eva , the guest displayed on my article today that was my model to show you this trick :) Hope you like it ! 

So , let's get started and see what you will need to achieve this nice look step by step ! 

For the main face and eyes :                                                                                                                     
1. Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector
2. L'Oreal True match Concealer
3. White glitter eye shadow 
4. Rose mat eyeshadow 
5. Brown eye liner
6. Triple Brown-Dark Rose-White mat eye shadows
7. Gold-Brown palette ( you will need only the Gold glitter eye shadow )
8. White eye pencil
9. Black mascara ( Maybelline New York )
10.Thick  Black eye pencil ( not displayed )


For cheeks ,highlighting and lips : 


~ Chocholate eye pencil ( radiant's tone 04 is really good as well ) 

~ Maybelline New York Rouge 

~ Big brush for the cheeks ( the bigger it is the better for the final result )

~ Giordani's Gold Powder for highlighting 

~ Clinique's lipstick dark rose colour

~ L'Oreal's transparent lip gloss 



In order to make it easier for you , i picked the 6th product from the first list and splitted it in parts so that you won't get mistook when i mention the specific colour i use , here is your 'map' :) 




Step 1 : After your cleaning routine , dry your face with a towel and apply your foundation (product 1 on the first list ) . On Eva , i used Garnier's BB Cream Miracle Skin perfector , it works really nice , looks natural and has satisfying coverage . 








 Also be sure you will use your concealer (product 2 of the 1st list ) AFTER applying your BB cream , the result will be better .
The L'Oreal's true Match concealer is been combined perfectly with your BB Cream . 

TIP ! If you have black areas below or around your eyes , combine some yellow eye shadow with your concealer and apply their mix on them ! Also if you have acne do the same trick with concealer , just replace the yellow eyeshadow with a green one !




Step 2 :

 Use the white glitter eye shadow ( product 3 ) on the whole area of your eyelid and put a little more on the inner corners of your eyes ( it will adjust light on them and prepare the corner for the cat eye effect ) . 




Step 3 : Use the 4th product , the lighter Rose eye shadow and apply it on the 3/4 of your eyelid ( avoid the first 1/4 next to your inner eye corners ) .




  
Step 4 :

Use the brown eye liner ( 5th product ) through the whole upper line of your eyelashes and on the 1/2 of the lower eyelashes' line ( the outter part of it ) just as displayed in the photo :) 





Step 5 : 

Use the triple pallette ( 6th product ) and specifically the eyeshadow B ( look at the map ) to make a thicker line just on the previous you made with the brown eye liner . 





Step 6 : 

As you can see in the photo below , first i took the eyeshadow C , remade the line i made previously ( the fact that you did the same thing with 3 different products will make the lines smoother and more natural ) AND THEN i made a triangle on the outer corner of each eye to make the cat eye shape . Then with the same eye shadow i filled the outer 1/3 part of the upper eyelid ( did the same with the lower one ) . Next i used the Dark Rose eyeshadow from the same palette ( eyeshadow B on the map ) and filled the middle of each upper eyelid . Avoid the 1/3 part that is next to the inner eye corners. 



Step 7 :


Use the Gold glitter eye shadow ( 7th product ) like this : put enough of it on your finger and dab gently the middle of your upper eyelid ! Then use the eyeshadow A ( white mat one ) to the area under your eyebrows .




Step 8 :

1) Use the white eye pencil (8th product) on the inner corners of  your eyes and on the inner side of your lower eyelid. 


2) Right after use a thick black pencil to highlight the 7/8 of your upper eyelashes' line and the 1/2 of your lower eyelashe's line following the angle you made previously while forming the 'triangle' on your outer eye corners . Add enough black mascara ( 9th product of the list ) .





Step 9 :

1) Use a big brush to apply your rouge across your cheeks 
2) Draw the outline of your lips with your lip pencil and make a vertical line on the middle of your lower lip ( It's the trick i mentioned on the Juicy lips article , you can find further details about it here : http://irina-beauty-advices.blogspot.gr/2013/08/make-up-how-to-make-your-lips-look-juicy.html ) 

3) Apply your lipstick by lifting your lips a little and be careful not to erase the vertical line ( look at the link i attached on step 2 for further explanation ) .

4) Add some of your transparent lip gloss on the middle of your upper and lower lips ONLY . ( you can find more about it on the Juicy lips article's link above )  

*You can optionally use the Giordani's Gold powder i mentioned above . By applying it with a large brush above your cheeks you will make the whole look fresh and light ! 


And you are done ! This is your final look !
