Animal Print Eye Makeup

If you are going clubbing, doing a photoshoot or just feel like doing something different and a little bit wild... you should try experimenting with animal print eye makeup, no you did not misread it. I said animal print eye makeup. I'm talking about cheetah print, zebra print, even cow or giraffe print if you're feeling extra ballzy. Well there are a couple of ways to achieve this look, if you don't feel like spending too much money on something that's way too expensive for what it is then I have some tips for you.

Bright colors go great with animal print, this person has chosen to incorporate liquid eye glitter into their look

The first thing I definitely recommend is doing your research before you begin, taking some time to look up some reference pictures, starting with the print you want to put on your eyes. If you are new to this technique I would highly suggest googling some images of people who have drawn/painted your desired print on their own eyes to get an idea of how you want your's to look. There are a lot of great makeup artists out there who have amazing works that incorporate the pattern you are looking for into their looks.

If you are feeling bold you can also venture outside the eyelid

Certain makeup artists have their own thoughts and opinions on what works best for certain looks, one thing I would definitely suggest is ALWAYS using liquid eyeliner, sometimes pencil eyeliners can come out dull, smudgey or blurry looking. I never use pencil for patterns and animal print, and as always never skip out on the eye primer. This kind of look is something that can turn disastrous if it's not done right, and the last thing you want is your hard work gathered up in the crease of your eyelid.

Practice makes perfect! Rushing and not using reference pictures can be detrimental to your look.

If you are like me, then you probably learn better from hands on tutorials rather than looking at pictures or diagrams. For people like us I would recommend looking up some video tutorials since not everyone has a friend they can go to in order to learn this type of stuff. I wish you all luck! And remember, practice practice practice!!!!
