Who's tired of black liquid liners???

Hello everyone...

Dunno if you guys get excited on thursdays lol! Cos i do!!!! I do! Tomorrow's friday :D

Yeeehaaaa! 

 

Back to the post...

I know i'm tired of black liquid liners and i'm sure you'll love this post if you are too. 

Though there are loads of coloured liquid liners out there.... The trick is quite easy so why not DIY?

Couple of days back, I put up a photo on my Instagram (#ff my 2 accounts on I.G _bemi_ and beautilitiesplus) I said i'd post a trick, this is it. 

Here's all you need to make your own coloured liners

 

Eye-drop (Can be found in random pharmacies)

Pot shadows 

Any eyeliner brush

Heres how....

I used the cover of the pot shadow

Put a little shadow dust in it 

Dropped a drop of eye-drop (sounds funny, lol! Oh well...) in it

And then mixed with the liner brush

The thicker the mixture, the better it comes out. 

Easy yh?

Try this and make sure to get back

Mmmwah! 

Bemi. 

Golds and browns... Eye make-up

Tara 'the make up' eyeshadows are just amazing! I mean!

What's more exciting? 

A proudly Nigerian brand!

I can't say it's the best so far cause i haven't tried the tonnes of other upcoming Nigerian brands.  

So here's an eyeshadow look i created...

What i used...

BROW:

Tara 'the make up' brow pencil in "brown"

L.A girl concealer in "Tan" (I always blend it in... Not a fan of really obvious concealer lines)

EYE:

Eyeshadow primer 'the make up' (Tara)

Brow bone: Gold from the Tara Ovialeke trio palette

Crease: Brown and Wine from the Tara Ovialeke trio palette

Eyelid: Tara single shadows "Oba hemma"

Inner corner: Champagne gold from my next eyeshadow blush and lipgloss palette

Lash line: Tara 'the make up' liquid eyeliner in black

False lash: The knock off MAC lash i got in last haul

Bye Bye Google Reader, Hello Bloglovin’
