Chessboard Eyemakeup Tutorial and EOTD

Chessboard eye makeup?  Have you ever heard about this thing anywhere? Even I haven't. I guess it's somewhat a beginner craze for me because I am obsessed with eye makeup nowadays. I am not a pro in it, but still I love to try different things on my eyes and post tutorials here. Please do bear with me girlies, I might not be excellent in these things :P I just do makeup my eyes, especially different things to pass time and show you all here. Okay how did I get this idea? Eager to know? huh I was simply cleaning and arranging things on my cupboard where I happened to see a chessboard. That's it! My brain starting working and connecting it with my makeup and this tutorial is the result of cleaning my cupboard today (after a long time, of course after receiving scoldings from my mom) "Lance.. Won't you keep your cupboard clean? " he he I went somewhere from the topic, let us move on to the tutorial now. Check out my other EOTDs here

Chessboard Eye Makeup Tutorial in 6 steps

Steps

1. Cleanse and prime your eyes. Dust with a compact and line your eyes normally as you line everyday, make it thin. You can also use kajal on your waterline if you wish.

2. Now starting from the center of your upper lash line, draw a slight curvy line pointing upwards. As shown in the image, draw 3 to 4 lines (make the lines little long one after one giving some mm between them).

3. After the lines dry up, draw lines horizontally (I messed up a little as it is my first try) :P till you finish with the last long vertical line. It should be somewhat like that the lower row contains many boxes and goes up in an ascending order.

4. Make sure, you should give time in between these steps to dry or else your eye liner would mess up. I used Lakme Insta Eyeliner here and I had to sit under fan for ages to dry :( I should have gone for something else for perfection. That's okay.. let's chill out.  After this step, you can see little boxes showing your eyelid skin colour.

5. Inside these boxes, fill your white eyeliner and allow it to dry. Touch up after drying for a perfect chessboard look. That's it. You are done! :D

Easy 3 Minute Eye Makeup Tutorial for Beginners

Hey girls! Today I am here with a simple EOTD. Being an eye makeup beginner, I started loving experiments in eye makeup and the results are these continuous EOTD posts. I am sure, I will be posting more EOTDs and tutorials here as I almost turned an addict of them. This EOTD is the result of my morning try. I just started to try something different, no pre planning and it ended up like this. I am not that impressed with my perfection here, but still I loved the colour combination a lot. I used 2 different eyeliners with different shades and made the eyeshadow subtle. Let me show you the pictures and explain you the steps briefly.

Steps

1. Cleanse and Prime your eyes. I skipped the primer here and used the Lotus Herbals Swift Makeup stick instead. Apply your kajal (Optional) and wash your eyelids with the eyeshadow of your wish. I made the shade of the eyeshadow very light in this EOTD.

2. Now start lining your eyes with your favorite shimmer eyeliner. Don't go for black this time as black is the colour we girls use most of the days. If you are a expert in lining your eyes, you can do it in your comfortable way. If you're still a beginner, don't worry. First start lining from the middle upper lash line to the the outer corner, then line from the inner corner and join both. You can extend the eyeliner up to a some length of your wish but I personally prefer to extend not more than a bit, for a natural look.

3. After the eyeliner gets dry, start lining thin above the glittery eyeliner using your pencil eyeliner. Make sure both the shades match. As the first one we used is the shimmer one, a matte eyeliner will do the trick now. I prefer using any dark colour for this to get a fuller eye look. Apply your mascara and allow it to dry.

4. Now you can skip this step if you want :P I just tried something funny. If you're going out somewhere, please do skip this step. I designed my outer corner little funny with a liquid eyeliner simply. That's it. My EOTD is done. As a beginner, I felt very easy doing this, so hope you will too.
