Hi frnz..I have not been posting quite often lately as i was thinkin of somethin interesting to write.
Well today i will be posting pictures of my eye makeup as requested by a reader (:) <3). I am by no means a pro and this is just what i like to wear mostly:
1.On a normal day out
2.Weekend nites
3.Some special occasion
1. On a Normal Day out
After washing my face and applying moisture, i pat the eye area with my Lakme Sheer compact.
Lakme Ultra Sheer Compact
Then I line it with my Maybelline Liner Express
Liquid Liner . It has a ball point pen like tip and is very easy to use, doesn’t smudge,no tears and easy to use even on the lower lids.
Then I line the lower lid with waterproof Revlon Kohl Stick.
Kohl Stick- Revlon
I darken the lower lid thickly with my Maybelline Liner Express . It seals the kohl in the eyes so that it does not smudge.Don't worry its doesn't burn.;)
Time to make the lashes dark n nice with some Mascara
Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Waterproof Mascara
So this is generally my look in the day or may be also on a casual night out. Liner, kohl n mascara..Ready to go!
2.Weekend nites
If I am in the mood of something a little bit more sparkly then the easy way to do that is to add on the first one above.
I simply draw a line of my Lakme green eyeshadow with a brush, above the black liner. You can also use a colored eye pencil for this.
One more variation of it can be – after patting the eye with compact in the first step, put the green eyeshadow first in a line as per the curve of your eye ,and then put a thin line of black liner as close to the lashes as possible.This will define the eyes beautifully and is the easier method .

To make the eyes more sparkly i add on a glitter eyeliner on to the basic black liner applied earlier.It was a gift from a friend from S'pore.
Gabrini Glitter eyeliner
So this is my more than casual eye look.:) Hope you like it.
3.Some special occasion
If there is going to be some party, or festival or some other big night i usally do as below.I generally use double shades for eys makeup but this one is more complex as it uses 4 shades. You can use as less or as many as you want. The main thing is to use a lighter shadow in the inner corner and the darker shadow in the outer corner of the eyes and blend well …your eyes will be ready to mesmerize:)
After applying the compact on clean eye and putting a skin color base, i have put on Golden shadow on the entire lid. This is from the same Lakme Eye color quartet pictured above.
Here I have applied Maybelline Sparkling gold shadow in the inner corner of the eye as well as the outline of the entire lid. It is atleast 2 shades lighter than the dark gold base already applied
Maybelline 621 sparkling gold
Right next to the pale gold shadow in the inner corner of the eye, I have put a peach colored shimmer and on the outer corner of the eye, I have put a dark pinkish bronze shadow

Next step is to put a torquiose blue eye shadow at the outermost corner of the eyelid. This will shape the eyes and make it look big. The blue shadow is from the same Lakme Eye Color Quartet pictured earlier.
Now I have lightly dusted the outline of the lid with the same blue shadow as was used for the outermost area of the eyelid in the previous step.Its just like how you draw an eye with a blue pen..
This is after the Liner and the kohl has been applied.

This is after the Mascara has been put on. You can easily make out the difference in no- mascara and with- mascara picture.Now just few steps left to finish this.
Here i have put a white highlighter on the brow line and topped it off with the earlier used Maybelline pale sparkling gold shadow.
Elf brightening eye color. I have used the top most left corner whitish shade as highlighter on the brow.
So the eye makeup is complete. Following are the final shots i cudnt resist cliking:))
Dont u just love that tinge of blue at the end!!! Gives a mysterious luk i think:)
Also do not forget to darken your eyebrows for the complete effect.
Thats it guys. I really really hope u like it and feel free to give suggestions for improvement!! CIAO> Luv…xoox
