NIGHTTIME MOODY MAKEUP

POST + PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY NADINE, GRAPHIC DESIGN BY EUNICE CHUN

Try this eye the next time you go out and bring out your moodier side ! This is especially perfect for those of you who don’t want to look like you spent time doing a smoky eye, but want the same drama. It’s such a gorgeous middle ground between the hardness of black and the softness of gray. Here’s how:

TOOLS:

• Black Sparkle Liner — Try Sephora Jumbo Liner 12HR Wear Waterproof in 16 Glitter.
• Black Liquid Liner — I used Alexa Chung’s Eye Do Liquid Liner because it’s the most user-friendly of all the felt-tip pens.
• Black Kajal Liner — Pick a really greasy-looking one that so it’s shiny but also one that is longwear so it doesn’t smear down your cheeks. I used Tarte Skinny SmolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner in Onyx.
• Black Voluminous Mascara — I used Covergirl Bombshell by Lashblast Mascara because it creates huge lashes and has a shiny black topcoat.
• Pearl Sparkle Shadow Stick — Try NARS Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Hollywoodland.

STEPS:

1. Sweep the upper lashline with the Jumbo Liner. Go thick. I like to stop just before the crease but you can certainly include it.
2. Trace the lower lashline, but not as thickly obviously!
3. Trace the liquid liner just along the upper lashline for intensity. See above for thickness.
4. Rim the inner waterline with the kajal liner to make the eyes really piercing.
5. Coat the lashes with mascara.
6. Dab the pearl shadow stick on the inside corner of the eye as demonstrated above.
