A Splash of Color

So here lately I have been stepping outside of the box and been inspired by colored eyeliner.!!! I always thought I have no idea how to wear this...so then I got brave and started with a navy blue pencil. I thought Its not much different than a black or brown so I bet I can wear it the exact same way. I layered it on top of a brown smoky eye and WOWZA! The difference was suttle but beautiful! The first day I wore it I had numerous comments on how pretty my eyes were. I lined from the inner top corner to the outer corner of my eye but making sure to give it a slight swoop at the end so it would open my eye. I then lined from the outer bottom corner of my eye to right under my pupil when I was looking straight ahead. Lined the inner rim as well and added a couple coats of very black mascara!

I also found that dark purples and plums are really really pretty with browns. Or even a black infused with purple which is what I use with a black smokey eye. It just gives that hint of something special.

Today I am wearing a brown liner on top of my eye and an emerald green on the bottom again just placed from outer corner to center under my pupil. Then I added a white/ivory color liner at the waterline of my eye to open and brighten since I am slightly tired today. Instant wake up!

Here are the three pencils I use the most so far:

Rimmel Exaggerate waterproof eyeliner in 250 emerald sparkle

 

The liner on the left or bottom is Loreal Double Extend Eye Illuminator in Black Sapphire. Its a pretty navy color with a ivory color on the other end.

The liner on the right is by Pixie (from Target). Its called Black Tulip and is a really pretty black infused with purple color.
