Egyptian eye Holiday look IV

This is a Egyptian inspired eye look. It can be worn for the holidays or for special occasions. Why not wear it out on a regular day? There is not a lot of blending needed to complete this look but you will need to know some basic blending skills like window shield motion. I hope you enjoy, this was a really fun look to complete!

Products:
•Mac e/s- Seedy Pearl (lid), Copperplate (inner crease), Carbon (lash line, inner crease), Orange (crease color)
•Mac brush- 239,217,212,231
•NYC unnamed liner in Pearl black
•NYX jumbo eye pencil in Milk

Step 1: Apply primer with your ring finger and blend all around the eye. I chose Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk.

Step 2: Pick up your 239 mac eye shadow brush and pat on the shade "Seedy Pearl."

Step 3: Now take your 217 brush and go into Orange. In a window shield motion (back and forth) blend this shade in. Since this shade has extremely neon coloring take very little of it from the mac shadow pan so it turns out like a copper. Taking a little amount will tone it down!

Step 4: Using the same brush go into Copperplate. We are going to use this shade to deepen out crease a bit more. Using the brush blend this shade in, since we want to deepen the crease when you blend make sure it "curves" with your eye shape. Using a little bit of the shade "Carbon" blend it into the shade copperplate. Remember use a back and forth and even up and down blending method.

Make sure to blend using a method that works for you!

Step 5: using a 212 go into mac's Carbon. Line your lash line using this, make sure you line the full lash line. Using a 231 blend the black in.

Step 6: Pick up your eyeliner and line like you would normally. Then extend the liner so it should look like a cat eye. In the tear duct connect both sides and make a triangle of some sort. What I mean by "connecting both sides" is connect the lash line and upper lash line's eyeliner together.

Make sure it all connects together when you are complete with lining!

Optional: add a highlight, I used Mac's Gesso.



1- Patting motion is when you take your brush and tap up and down. It makes colors more vibrant rather than rubbing this shade in. Since we normally only pat light shades for the lid and pigments/glitters it is important to know this step.

2- Window shield motion is when you blend. It is blending back and forth, think of a car when it is raining. It is the process of "smoking" a shade into your crease. This can be done in circular motions as well. Just get into your own ways of blending.
