I got Bored...


I was bored, so decided to tackle the tribal trend with leopard print make up!

I wasn't sure how to approach this look at first, but after a bit of thought I decided on liquid eyeliner.

Now I am a bit silly and I didn't take any pictures where you can see the colour perfectly but this one is the best I  snapped!


I assure you the base of my eye was a pale cream/goldy colour, with black liquid liner used the create the spotted affect. Then I dabbed some dark brown eyeshadow into the gaps created by the liquid eyeliner to make the spots look a darker colour to the rest of my eyelid. (Just like leopard print looks!)
I used the same dark brown shadow to line my lids very close to the lash line.
I then used a black mascara to intensify my lashes.





After I was finished playing with my eyes, I decided to be a little more daring. Now I wouldnt wear this next look out in the street on a daily basis, but perhaps for a fancy dress party, or a catwalk/modelling show it would be appropiate.




I applied a base coat of  loose powder on my lips, then applied the same principle of using liquid eyeliner to create the illusion of leopard spots onto my lips. I dragged the spots upwards over the top of the right hand side of my lip.

Overall very pleased with how it looks! I just need an excuse to wear it now! (well the eyeshadow at least!)

What I used:
Eyes:
FrontCover eyeshadow in "powder puff"
FrontCover eyeshadow in "'coffee coin"
ELF Cream Eyeliner in "black" applied with FrontCover ShadowLine applicator

Lips:
Maxfactor Facefinity Compact Foundation in "Ivory"
ELF Cream Eyeliner in "black" applied with FrontCover ShadowLine applicator
