Happy Thursday! Aren’t you so happy it’s almost the weekend? Okay, so before I start into this post, let me just preface by saying that, A. I don’t think I look like Bridget Bardot, and B. I know that my dramatic eye makeup isn’t identical to that of Bridet Bardot’s famous smoky cat eye look, but that is why the title “Inspired By” is so appropriate: I was inspired, therefore I interpreted and created my own version of her look. :)
To honest, I don’t usually take a lot of time with my makeup, but lately I have become more and more interested in learning the tricks of the trade (more to come on that soon). So, the other day, I needed a break from staring at my computer screen, so instead I stared into a mirror for thirty minutes, and worked on perfecting my version of the seductive/dramatic eye.
This is what I came up with…
I didn’t use a ton of product besides eyeliner, and just stuck with pale pinks on my lids and lips. I drew a couple coats of heavy liner across my eye, lined the bottom with a black pencil liner and finished the look off with many coats of black mascara. To add just a bit of color, I swiped some light pink gloss on my lips, et voila!
{Don’t be too frightened by this photo. I promise, I don’t usually walk around with this facial expression on my face. I think the flash might have shocked my eyes.. just a tad.}
Needless to say, I felt very glamorous when I was done, even though I was wearing shorts and a crop top.
