Electric Feel Makeup Look


Want to know how I created this look? Just keep reading, just keep reading to find out! :)


What I used:
120 Manly Palette - eBay: Around $20.00
(A great starter palette that my boyfriend gifted me when I became fascinated with makeup.)
Lancome Kohl Pencil - White
Maybelline EyeStudio Gel Liner - Black
L'oreal Double Extend Lash Mascara
False lashes on upper and on lower lash line

My palette is so dusty from knocking it over so many times, the colors aren't even in order anymore. hehe!


This makeup look is really all about having fun splashing different neon vibrant colors on and around your eyes.
The first step in creating this look is to draw the lightning bolt the way you want it to look with the white kohl liner this is only your rough draft so you can fix mistakes along the way. The next step is to fill in the lightning bolt with the gel eyeliner then go back over it with the matte black eyeshadow from the 120 Manly Palette. Now here comes the fun part! *Rubs hands together*

To achieve a splattered paint like effect, take a makeup brush that looks like this:

Dip it in the first color that you want, make sure you saturate the brush with color.. hold the brush up to your face close to where you want the eyeshadow to splatter.. put your finger on top of the brush pull back and release! 


You can try it on the back of your hand a couple of times until you get the hang of it. But once you do, the fun and creativity never ends. 




Lips: Urban Decay Lip Liner in Naked
MAC - Myth

My Playlist of songs that I listened to while creating this look:

Lykke Li - Until We Bleed
Le Tigre - Deceptacon
MGMT - Electric Feel
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Zero

Your lightning bolt friend,
