Recently I reviewed the book Eye Candy by Linda Mason and found this great Cleopatra Inspired eye. I decided to do my own take of the look, with different colors, different textures, and a little different lower lid. It is over the top, yes, but fun. Here is how to get my Linda Mason Cleopatra inspired eye.
Start by applying a base all over the eye area, from lash line to browbone and a little under the eye on the lower lid. Take a light blue shadow and apply with an eyeshadow brush from crease to browbone, taking it into the inner corner a bit.
Take a royal blue shimmer shadow and apply from lash line to above the crease using an eyeshadow brush. Blend well into the light blue.
This next step is optional. If you feel confident enough with liquid liner skip to the next step. If not, take a teal eye pencil and draw on eyeliner as shown above. If you make a mistake or the line gets to think, go over it with a wet q-tip and try again.
Take a teal liquid eyeliner (the one shown is by Wet n Wild) and go over the teal pencil. If you skipped over the last step, just free hand the above design on your eyes with liquid liner. Wait for it to dry.
Take a silver shadow and apply with a small blender brush underneath your eye in the inner half, staying above the teal line.
Take a purple or violet eyeshadow and brush with the small blender brush on the outer half of your eye, taking it out to the wing of the liner. Do not go under the teal line.
Take a black pencil liner and line your bottom waterline, winging it out to directly under the upper teal line (as shown). Apply mascara and you are done! If you would like, apply false eyelashes for a more dramatic look.
Finished product without falsies.
