Happy Saturday Everyone...

I've been a bit obsessed with the winged eyeliner recently, it completely transforms the eye shape into cat eyes which I love! I wanted to do this look using one of my favourite Illamasqua pigments (Fervent) that I haven't used for a while but when I use it, I fall in love with it all over again.


 To start off, I applied the concealor all over my eyelids up to the brows to conceal any redness, blemishes or veins and give myself a good base to work from. I then powdered the eye area with the skinfinish to make it easier to blend my eyeshadows into. I applied my dipbrow through my brows and fill in any gaps and thicken them up a bit.
 Using a clean blending brush, I buffed the edge of the eyeshadow outwards and upwards for a blended effect.
Then I went over the shape with a darker shade, for this I used Anastasia Beverly Hills shadow in Deep Plum, which is a dark plum shade.
 I blended in a little more of the Fig 1 eyeshadow into the socket and upwards as the colour wasn't as vibrant as I wanted.
I then sprayed mac fix+ onto a flat brush and dipped it into the Fervent pigment. I used fix+ to make the pigment wet and more opaque when applying it. You can use this pigment to dust on but I wanted a strong wash of this colour on the eyelids. I applied this just on my eyelid, under my socketline.
Using a super fine brush, I applied the Illamasqua gel liner along my lash line and slightly winged it out.
 I applied the liner thicker towards the edge of my eyes to really accentuate the cat eye shape. At the inner corner of the eye, I create a slight point using small strokes and then applied it along my lashline.

To finish the eyes off, I applied both sets of eyelashes and blended some fig 1 shadow under my lower lashline with deep plum applied right at the lashes.

I hope you all liked my quick step by step makeup tutorial. If there's any looks you'd like me to recreate, please let me know.
