I love the idea of using a really strong electric blue for my eyeliner look, the release of the new ACID palette has allowed to run with this. I know i want a dramatic wing because that's very UD. Below are my initial sketches of my ideas. I know I want it to be electric jewel colours, bold, and sharp. I want the brows to be bold, shaped and arched.
I started some initial tests. I found an electric blue pigment which i thought would be the perfect colour and tried mixing it with MAC mixing medium, assuming it would have a liquid liner effect. The effect was horrible though,and the end product was crackly and hard to work with. I'm really glad i did this test because in the past this has worked for me, so by testing these particular products I've avoided having to re-shoot because product knowledge wasn't in place.
Horrible product application aside, I continued testing to see what shapes would compliment the colour and work with the shape of the brow. Below is a thicker, more square line rather than the fluid thinner one above.
UPDATE
Below is my final face chart and hair design. I have since found a perfect product, a GOSH liquid liner in metallic electric blue. I will create deep wings with that, and add a subtle black liquid line to the upper lash line to give the whole thing more depth. Hair will be tousled, back combed and pushed away from the face to give as much emphasis to the brows and eyes as possible. Lips will be lightly stained pink and glossy. I will use natural, feathery lashes to complete the look in the way that UD do.
