♥ My Attempt At The Peacock Eye and Smokey Eye In Blue ♥

I will make videos for the harder make-up instructions along with the written instructions! Just to make it easier :D I will upload the videos as soon as I can!!!
Peacock Eye

Smokey Eye in Blue

The Peacock Eye was a lot of fun to recreate! It was a little time consuming, but nothing too crazy! It's definitely a "Night" look, I wouldn't wear it to go grocery shopping or to the bank lol The Smokey Eye in Blue  looked so amazing! I'm going to wear it today I loved it so much! It's very simple and is so striking without being too much like the Peacock Eye ;P I'm going to go ahead and break down the Smokey Blue Eye first since it is a lot faster than the Peacock. Here's how you get the look:

  • (1) Using a small make-up brush apply #1 all over eyelid stopping at the crease.
  • (2) After step 1, Take #2 and, starting at the mid point of the crease, dab #2 towards the outer corner of the eyelid. Apply twice to make sure the color "pops"
  • (3) Next take #3 and, following a normal smokey eye technique, apply it at the outer eyelid using upward strokes towards the brow (not up to the brow). I use circular strokes when making a smokey eye, but everyone has a different style :D Just figure out what works best for you!
  • (4) Take #4 and apply on top of #3 using the same instructions as Step 3.
  • (5) I used a Blue Cream Eyeliner against the lash line, but you can use whatever eyeliner you prefer!
  • (6) Using an Angled make-up brush, take #1 and, starting from the inner corner of the LOWER eyelid, apply #1 against the lash line stopping at the mid point of the lower lash line.
  • (7) Take #3, still using an Angled make-up brush and staying on the lower eyelid, and apply against the lower lash line starting at the mid point of the lash line going towards the outer corner of the eye. Smudge if needed for a more dramatic look.
  • (8) Take #5 with a small make-up brush and apply right under and against the brow line.

Milani Infinite Liquid Eyeliner in Forever (gold)
Angled Make-up Brush

Small Rounded Make-up Brush
Hard Candy ♥ Walk the Line

  1. Take # 1 and cover the eyelid stopping at the crease
  2. Take #3 and use the smokey eye technique, Starting at the outer corner of the eyelid use upward strokes toward the brow (but not up to the brow) and applying some in the crease (only to the mid point of the crease)
  3. Following the line that Step 2 (#3 color) made, apply #2 above the line creating an arch starting from the outer corner extending all the way to the inner corner of the eyelid. Creating an arch.
  4. Then take #7 and follow the same instructions as Step 3, but above the Green line (#2) like in the picture.
  5. Next take #6 and starting from the inner corner of the eyelid, apply on top of the pink line made in the last step until you reach the mid point of the eyelid... Refer to the picture above...
  6. After those steps have been completed take #4 and dab from the inner corner of the eyelid to the middle of the eyelid staying against the lash line.
  7. Take your liquid eyeliner, I used Milani Infinite Liquid Eyeliner in a Gold, and draw 3 tear drop shapes, placing them above but touching the crease of the eyelid. 
  8. Take another colored Liquid Liner, I used Hard Candy ♥ Walk The Line in a Teal Blue color, and just put a dot in the middle of the 3 Tear Drops.
  9. Taking your gold eyeliner place four dots starting from the inner corner, following the crease, to the middle point of the crease. Wave until dry
  10. Take your blue eyeliner and place 4 dots above and under the Golden dots 
  11. Using an Angled make-up brush, take #3 and apply against the LOWER lash line from outer corner to the inner corner.
  12. Take #5, still using the angled brush, and apply from the outer corner, against the LOWER lash line, until you reach the mid point of the lower lash line.
  13. Take your Gold eyeliner and place 4 dots against the lower lash line starting from the outer corner extending to the mid point of the lash line.
  14. The Final Step: Take a Purple colored Eyeliner, I used Hard Candy ♥ Stroke of Gorgeous in Storm (purple), and apply against the lash line of the top eyelid.


And that is all! Phew...If there are any questions about the instructions do not hesitate to ask through e-mail or comments! You can tweak this anyway you would like! Just have fun with it :D
