Description

I love his pin-up paintings and most often you see them with a hint of a subtle cat eye and almost no eyeshadow. Adding a sense of whimsy and flirtatiousness to his pieces. Now you can mimick that cute yet 'come hither' look.

Instructions

  1. Small pun1 1281799344

    Start with your eye completely bare. No primer,shadow,base. Zip.

  2. Small pun2 1281799355

    I used liquid black liner since it gives off a more elegant look than a pencil liner. Start in the middle of the lashes. Wiggle the tip along the base of your lashes and create a dramatic curve upwards.

    Now you should have the basic outline. Take a black pencil liner and go over any spots that dont look dark enough.

  4. Then we want to fil in the gap from tear duct to where the liner starts.

    Add a touch of pencil liner to the waterline. Only going about halfway in and makiing the line narrower as you get closer.
