Simple Cat Eye Face of the Day

Hey doll hey!! How’s your day/night going? Great I hope. I’m doing pretty good today. I got to see 3 of my 4 God babies today and visit with family. We are still adjusting to the new norm in our home, hubby has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and it’s been hard to figure out the best way to adjust him to his new way of eating…. we will be seeing a dietitian shortly and hopefully this will help us suss out meals for him better.

Today I redid my makeup 3 times… by the 3rd time I just gave up and went with what I came up with the 3rd time… personally it would have been better were I not to have did a wing liner…. que sera.

For today’s look I used the ColourPop Give it to Me Straight 12 Pan Palette (discontinued) and a few shades from the Juvia’s Place Warrior II 9 Pan Palette ($20 but on sale for $12 for 0.63 oz / 17.86 g of total product on their website making 0.07 oz / 1.98 g and $2.22 at retail price and $1.33 at sale price per shade).

Eyes and Brows:

I set my brows using I set my brows using got2b glued styling spiking hair glue by Schwarzkopf ($14.91 for 3, 6 oz tubes on Amazon, it’s also sold at most drug and big box stores) and the Makeup Revolution Soap Styler Brow Brush ($6 on their website) . I brushed the gel through my brows and used the handle of my spoolie brush to flatten my brows out and once they dried I outlined and then filled in my whole brows using LA Girl Brow Pomade ($5.99 for 0.27 oz / 7.65 g of product at Ulta) in the shade Dark Brown (the deepest color). I cut my brow line and primed my lids using Beckisue Eyeshadow Primer (is no longer on Amazon but there are several replacement brands with the same formula on Amazon) in the shade #1 (medium).

I started by setting my brow line using the shade Zaz (egg shell white – matte) from the Juvia’s palette. I then went in with a combo of the shades Kana (dove grey – matte) from the Juvia’s palette and Downright (soft pinky beige – matte) from the ColourPop palette as an all over wash of color (from lash line to brow line). I used the shade Truth Hurts (peachy beige – matte) from the ColourPop palette as a transition shade.

Over the middle 1/2 o the mobile lids I used the shade Candid (bright copper – metallic) from the ColourPop palette and then for the remain space of the inner part of the mobile lids I used a combo of the shades Up Front (pale gold with a silvery sheen – metallic) and Straight Up (warm gold – metallic) from the same palette. For the bottom lash lines I used more of the shade BS (orangey brown – matte) from the ColourPop palette to create a deep drop shadow and then the shade Actually (deepened chocolate brown – matte) from the ColourPop palette to deepen the lash line. I lined my lower water lines using NYX Slide On Eye Pencil Waterproof Eyeliner ($8 for 0.04 oz / 1.13 g of product at Ulta) in the shade Golden Bronze. I then created a medium wing and elongated the inner corners to create a cat eye using Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Liner ($18 for 0.08 oz / 2.37 mL of product at Ulta) in the shade Black.

Final Thoughts:

I really did like the eye shadow on this last attempt today but this winged liner and this lip color ruined the whole look for me. I’ll have to attempt this look again.
