This is the last week of October so, I wanted to do another illustration for breast cancer awareness month! Of course that meant only one thing yup a pink gown.
I have been playing with more watercolors lately and using regular paper. I kind of like how the regular printer paper crinkles because it can’t handle the water like true watercolor paper. I think I’m attracted to the texture it gives the paper when it crinkles. I’m just having fun experimenting and being carefree with the last couple of fashion illustrations I’ve done.
I hope you enjoy this illustration and thank you so much for allowing me the chance to share with you my creations. I love sharing them with everyone and seeing how people respond to them! Thanks for also stopping by and reading my blog it means so much to me the continued support.

Happy Monday I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
Today I wanted to talk about eye make-up and the Cat-eye look. Now if you know me, you probably already know I love the Cat-Eye look SHOCKING I KNOW. It is like my everyday look..hahaha. I really do love a good cat eye what can I say ? 😉 Depending on how thick and how long the tails of the cat-eyes are. You can easily go from chic to edgy is no time. They are perfect for casual settings or fancy dressed up parties or weddings. I myself tend to get a little bold and usually have a heavier cat (might be why I go through so many eye pencils and liquid eye liner so fast). It’s also because I’m so pale I feel like it really pops my eyes. I’m just a girl that can’t tan nor do I like too.
So, I went ahead and drew up a how to on how to get the perfect cat-eye! Follow these simple steps below and you won’t go wrong! perhaps you’ve been already been doing this look for sometime. Still look at the how to because I found it was a easier way than how I had been doing it.
I also included eyeliners and eye pencils that are my absolute favorites. Oh yes and a few different cat-eye looks that you should experiment with. Remember it takes practice so, if you make a mistake try again you will eventually get it. Oh yes and have fun! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog all the time and reading my posts!
1.| Starting your flick line should only be an extension of the lower lash and eye opening. Just imagine the bottom of your eye continuing and this is where that line should go. Some people use tape as a guide (only when first starting). 2.| Draw your line going from the bottom up. This will give a nice clean end tip of your cat-eye flick (that is important) 3.|After your line is drawn create a triangle. So from your first line start at the top and draw the next line going down to create a triangle like I mentioned. 4.| Starting in the middle and working forward in small strokes draw your line right next to your lash line. 5.| Now connect the line from the middle of your eye to the triangle. 6. Fill in the triangle are and and make make the line on your lash line as thick as you want. For beginners I suggest starting with a light easy cat don’t go bold as your still trying to get your technique down (but do have fun). Last and final step line your upper water line with a eyeliner pencil and add mascara to your lashes and your done!
