Super Easy Holographic Eye

Hi everyone! 

Sorry about my little hiatus, things have been a bit hectic here.

This look is definitely more of a nighttime one (unless you rock glittery eyes during the day in which case more power to you). I think it would be great for parties, concerts, clubs (if that's your cup of tea) or New Year's.

If you've followed my blog for a while now, first off, thanks for that. Second, you'll probably know that my resources for photography are not that stellar. Please bear with me.

For this look, you'll need:

Eye Primer (Urban Decay Primer Potion)

A Silver/Grey Cream Shadow (NYX Jumbo Pencil in Pots & Pans or a combo of Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 hr eyeshadows in Tough as Taupe and Audacious Asphalt)

A Purple or Blue Eyeshadow (Urban Decay Ransom)

A Black Eyeshadow (Urban Decay Creep)

Clear Glitter Liquid Eyeliner (Quo)

Loose Glitter

Plus black eyeliner, mascara, and all the other usual suspects.

*Oh hello there, strangest facial expression I've ever made

After priming the eyes, apply your silver/grey cream shadow all over the lid, keeping it below or at the crease and blend. 

Press your purple or blue shadow onto the outer third of the eyelid and pull it into the crease. 

Using your black shadow as a definer, place it in the outer V of the eye and bring it down into your lower lash line, limiting it to about the outer third.

Bring a bit of the blue or purple shadow down into the lower lash line, layering it on top of the black shadow and bringing it a bit closer to the corner of the eye. You don't want to go too much farther than the pupil.

Blend it all!

Take your glitter liquid liner and paint it on the lid, over the grey. I tried to concentrate it on the inner half of the lid but to get more of a gradient, I applied a bit of it up to the purple shadow as well. 

Using a stiff-bristled brush, press loose glitter over top of where you just applied the liquid glitter liner.

Line everything you usually line (tight line, waterline, lashline, whatevs)

I lined my tight line and then added liquid liner to the upper lash line. I actually didn't mean to line the waterline but there was a bit of transfer. In the future I'll probably use a white liner on the water line.

Curl your lashes, add mascara/fake lashes/ whatever you like!

*Nothing like a bathroom selfie to show you what the look is all about

I ended up wearing this with a soft nude lip (Mac's Hue) and a clear gloss to keep the rest of the look simple.

If you want a more detailed tutorial, let me know in the comments! I'm actually trying to get myself organized so I can start filming but who knows how long it'll take for me to get myself in gear.

Thanks for reading, if anyone decides to try this look, let me know how it works out!
