Owl Inspired Eye Makeup

If you try this look yourself, it will look better in person than these pictures do.
This look is based off this Lolita Blog Carnival post.
Makeup is the hardest thing to take photos of! Guess what I'll be spending this week practicing?

If you want mega eyes, apply false bottom lashes with the outer corner going just below your natural lash line. I'm sitting in Starbucks writing this since the internet won't be back at my house until tomorrow, so I had to draw the line somewhere!

You can certainly achieve the same look with half as many products, but I really wanted everything to stay on my face all day, especially since glitter and shimmer have a propensity for falling off.
The very optional products were: Coty Face Powder, e.l.f. HD Blush (just a bit! The focus for this look is on the eyes), Urban Decay Primer Potion, Urban Decay All Nighter Spray, and e.l.f. Eyebrow Mascara.

How I Did It:

For the all-day worry-free version, apply foundation or BB cream first, then prime your eyelids, and after you are done with the steps below, apply a setting powder and/or use a setting spray.

Tip: If you're worried about your eyeliner being uneven, apply it before the shadow so that you can fix it without accidentally wiping off the shadow.

1. Apply the darkest shadow first, with brown along the bottom of the top lid, copper glitter or shimmer in the middle, and a very large amount of gold all along the top and slightly above the eyelid. Pull it out to where your lash is going to end on the outer edges. You can easily apply more after your lashes if you're uncertain as to where your lashes will end.

2. Place the falsies 1/4 of the way from the inner beginning of the lash line and leave it at full length so that it goes out slightly past your eyelid, making the whole eye look larger. These particular lashes are Darkness brand "Super 4."

3. Take a black liquid liner and draw from the inside edge of the false lash to the inner corner of your eyelid, which disguises the lash band. Then add the tiniest sliver just under and above the lash band. I usually do it in this order so that no matter what type of lash glue I'm using, the liner will cover it so it doesn't show.

4. Use a brown pencil liner and blend the black liner upwards, to soften it.

5. Add a pat or two of dark brown eyeshadow on the lower outer corner of your eyelid to add drama and further volumize the appearance of your eyes.

6. Finally, highlight the water line and inner corners of your eyes using a white or super-light colored pencil liner.

Let me know if you try this, and how well you like it.
