How to: Use pigments to make your own eyeliner!

A friend of mine saw a picture of some graphic double winged eyeliner. The wing close to the lash line was a typical black line, and the line above it was a neon pink. She said the site she was on was out of the color, so I suggested that she make her own out of pigment.

Now, there are TONS of things you can do with pigments like foil it on your lid, add it to a nail polish, highlight, and several others. Today, I am going to show you how to make an eyeliner out of ANY pigment.

Above are my three pigments that used. I chose three different brands so that you had a variety :)

From left to right: Jesse's Girl "Flambe", ELF "Beachy", The Balm "You Buy, I'll Fly"

 

Above you will see that I have put a small amount in the caps of each pigment.

 

Then I add one drop if this Makeup Lock and Seal by ELF, but you can use water, or saline (aka eye drops)

I then mix the liquid and pigment together to make a sort of paste, not too thick, but not too thin. Then I use an eyeliner brush to apply. This is a really cheap art brush that I got in a paint brush set at Wal-Mart, but it works for eyeliner and small detail work.

 

 

 

I apologize for the next pic because I have had my makeup on for over 12 hrs now, and things and slipping and sliding around. I applied the "You Fly, I'll Buy" on the left and "Flambe" on the right

 

 

Like I said, you can do SO much with pigments, but I really enjoy them as liners because it adds a fun element to boring makeup.

 

I used to use "Beachy" as a liner all the time, and always got compliments when I wore it this way. So, don't be afraid to be bold and wear something out of your comfort zone! You are beautiful and should wear what you want!
