Description

Playing with neutrals and pops of colour in this negative space, feline, cut-crease look.

Instructions

1. 

   Start with primed lids and a skin-toned/nude eyeshadow base.

2. 

   Make the shape shown with black pencil liner. Fill in the space on the mobile lid and blend the liner in the crease, up to toward the brow lightly.

3. 

   Apply a Shimmery/Metallic Midnight Blue Eye-shadow onto the outer corner of the eye over the black base as shown.

4. 

   Apply the blackened copper eye-shadow (Shiro Cosmetics "Chimera") next to the blue, on the middle of the lid and blend well with blue. I used an eye-shadow sealer to intensify the colour.

5. 

   Next to the Copper, apply some more sealer and pat your muted yellow gold eye-shadow (Shiro Cosmetics "No Men Like Me") over top of it. Blend well with copper shadow.

6. 

   Apply your shimmery red-toned lavender shadow (Shiro Cosmetics "Mother of Dragons") over the liner in the crease and blend lightly upwards as shown.

7. 

   Using a synthetic detail brush, apply a white smudgeproof bas into the space between the lid and crease colours. Pat a bit of sealer over it and then apply a shimmery/metallic white eye-shadow (Shiro Cosmetics "Whiteout") over top of it.

8. 

   Apply a medium thick on the upper lashline and extend it to the tail of the shadow as shown, keeping it thin toward the inner eye area.

9. 

   Apply some black pencil liner to the lower lashline and smudge lightly downwards with a synthetic smudge brush. I mixed the middle lid and crease colours (Shiro Cosmetics "Chimera" & "Mother of Dragons") and packed it onto the pencil. Blend the edge of the shadow a tad downwards and apply black pencil liner to your lower and upper waterline.

10. 

    Apply a muted fiery copper onto the inner corner and blend well with preceding colours; not taking it too much into the lid or crease colours.

11. 

    Apply some Black Mascara on top and bottom lashes and VOILA, You're done! Lashes and coloured Mascara are optional but would also intensify the pops of colour in this look. Hope you enjoyed! \(^.^)/
