first post nerves!!!!!

First of all I'd like to thank you for accidentally coming across my page when you were actually looking for porn.... and secondly, I'd like to thank you for reading this far! Well done you!


Ok, so I thought I'd start with my favourite look.... which isn't actually that difficult!

Big Cat Pin-up!



So yeah... the desired effect is a leopard print pattern on the eye lids with a pin-up everything else! And yeah, I know the eye makeup is leopard print and the headband suggests a smaller cat... but you know what..? I DON'T CARE! :P

So shall we proceed with the method????


Apply your base evenly;
I used a liquid foundation, concealer then a powder foundation to create an even-ish finish.


Apply a gold eye shadow to the lid under your crease and then a bronze coloured eyeshadow along the crease, making sure to blend evenly. You could use matt colours light browns and red-browns if you like, I prefer the shimmery golds and bronzes for this look.


Apply a colour a little lighter than your natural skin colour to line your brow bone and using a liquid eyeliner, line your eyes in a cats-eye shape. I always find it easier to line the bottom of my eye first because doing so means you can follow the line of your eye upwards at the edge and get both sides perfectly matched. :) You can line your waterline with a pencil too if you like.



Now for the fiddly bit.... It's not that difficult to do really, you may find it easier dabbing your liquid liner in the pattern of the leopard spots rather than drawing them straight on. It also gives a better effect. At the outside corner of your eye, take the print all the way to your brow bone and taper it down towards the centre. It doesn't really have to be perfect, just remember, no two leopards are the same! It might help however to have something to use as a template to copy.



Although you can't see fantastically because the picture isn't amazing... I have also dabbed a dark brown colour on the inside of all of the spots for that real leopard print effect.



This next bit IS optional, but I couldn't live without them... false eyelashes. :D These particular falsies incase you were wondering are in face Eyelure Girls Aloud strip lashes in none other than Cheryl Cole!



To finish the look, I added a bright red lipstick and a beauty spot under my eye which is another thing I couldn't live without! This is what makes this Big Cat makeup that little bit Pin up, which IS my favourite type of makeup.

Then I remembered I had the cat ears. :) So I hope you enjoy my first post, will try and make some videos soon, but it will mean having to put up with my rambling while you're trying to do your makeup!
