{Beauty Tuesday} Good Grades


I was a little skeptical of my ability to pull off this look, but the process was bewilderingly manageable. The colors are up to you; just make sure they're able to blend without turning muddy. Here's how to throw together a tri-tone gradient eyeliner:

{MATERIALS}
BareMinerals Prime Time Eyelid Primer

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Electric (a metallic turquoise)

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Sabbath (matte navy) and Zero (smoky grey)
{PROPER USE}
Pat a neutral eyelid primer all over the lid. This creates an
even base and helps keep your look in place.
Using your lightest shade, draw a medium-width line from the
inner corner to the center of the lid. 

With the middle shade, overlap the first shade slightly and then draw
a slightly thicker line down to the outer edge of the lid. Also use this
shade to fill in the upper and lower water lines, which are right next to
the eye itself.
With your darkest shade, overlap the middle shade and then draw a small
wing past the outer corner of the eye, directing the tip toward the top
of your ear. Fill in any blank spots to create a smooth line, then use
your fingertip to blend each color's edges together. Finish up with
a coat of black mascara (try BareMinerals Flawless Definition
Volumizing Mascara) and try to not be as sleepy as I was today.
Happy grading!
