FOTD/Tutorial: Green and Black Liner



 Hi everyone! Today was my very first time trying cream (gel) liner, so I thought it would be fun to do look using it. CVS is having a 2/$3 sale on WetnWild eye, lips, or nail products. I purchased Wet n Wild Mega Eyes creme liner in black, which I used for this look. I also purchased the WetnWild Cool as a Cucumber trio. This is my first time ever using WetnWild eyeshadow. Be sure to stay tuned for a review on my opinions on the products. I'll be sure to do a full review of them later!
How I did this look:
1. Prime your eyes. I used ELF eyelid primer. You can purchase it at Target for $1 and I love it!

2. Using the gel liner, create a cat eye/winged liner that goes up from your lower lash line. This will give the shape in the photo to the left. 

3. Line your lower lash line about halfway over.

4. Using a smudger brush (I use mine from BH Cosmetics), smudge the outside corner of the shape you have created. Also be sure to smudge the eyeliner across your lower lash line. The lines should be soft, but not messy. Be sure to clean up any smudging that gets too out of the shape. I like to clean the shape up by taking a face wipe and wiping in the same up direction from my lower lash line (just like when creating the cateye).

5. Using a small brush, pack the dark green from the Wet n Wild Cool as a Cucumber trio on top of the black liner that you have created. You want to focus the color on the outer 1/2 of the lid. Be sure that the color is not too high on your lid because you want the shape to look like eyeliner still. 

6. Take the smudger brush and smudge out the green shadow to create a softer effect. You can also use a blending brush to soften it up. 

7. Curl lashes and apply mascara. I applied my mascara more heavily on the outer corner of the eye to emphasize the cat eye more.

8. Clean up any fallout under your eye.

9. Apply Garnier BB cream all over your face. Set the BB cream with a translucent powder. I like to set my BB cream with NYC's translucent powder. Keep the cheeks somewhat dewy.

10. Apply blush to the top of your cheek bones. I used ULTA cheek color in flush. Contour with bronzer as wanted/needed.

11. Apply lip color. I used Wet n Wild Megashield Lip color in 369S Salsa Lessons.

I hope you all enjoyed this look/tutorial. Be sure to comment and let me know what you think.
