Oil Slick Inspired Eyes

Have you ever looked at an oil slick or spill in the light and have been mesmerized by the pretty colors it reflects? I sure have, and it has inspired me to create this look. Although it is a form of pollution, I tend to find beauty and inspiration in almost everything. Call it weird, but that's me! This was pretty difficult to achieve, but I'm pretty satisfied with the end result. This was merely experimental, but you can totally wear this out at night if you want!




Inspiration Pics:




FACE:
  • Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Buff
  • MAC Studio Fix Powder in NC20

EYES:
  • NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skintone
  • Rimmel Soft Kohl Pencil in Jet Black all over top and bottom lids to deepen colors  
  • BH Cosmetics 120 Eyeshadow Palette, 2nd Edition
  • Rimmel Glam Eyes Mascara in Black

CHEEKS:
  • MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty

LIPS:
  • Cover Girl Lipstick in Fairytale

TUTORIAL



I hope you guys liked this look...sometimes you just need to fool around and experiment with your makeup, you never know what is bound to happen. Remember to always look for inspiration everywhere you go, it really helps. 

Also, keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway sometime this week or early next week; it's gonna be a good one!

Thanks for reading! <3

    Love it! You know, the founder of Urban Decay cosmetics had the same inspiration.. she wanted to encourage women to find the beauty and inspiration in even the most seemingly uninspired things around us.. Which is why their eyeshadows have names like "Smog" and "Oil Slick" etc..

    (I got to sit in on an UD training session at work last week and it was so cool!)

    Anyways.. this look is STUNNING! Seriously.. stunning! I think you captured the pictures perfectly.

    And I'm so glad you enjoyed my post! You totally deserve it! ♥

    Very cool! I love the colors of oil slicks but never thought about translating it into a shadow look. You did a great job.

    I *really* love this! I find oil slicks strangely beautiful as well, and this makeup really captured it. I really want to give it a shot. Maybe tomorrow will be the day...

    I like your comparisons with makeup and photos and that you listed what you use. Have you tried doing makeovers online? I think you'd be great at creating them at: http://www.taaz.com!
