As the Diwali is almost here, I decided to do a basic red and green eye makeup look for IMBB ladies,. As you might know I had my last 2 makeup posts dedicated to Shweta this is also a bit related . This makeup look will serve both diwali and wedding purpose. So, without boring you more lets get started with makeup tutorial.
As always prime your eye lids…. I used Oriflame dual skin corrector..
• Apply tape to get a more defined outer corner of the eye. (but still I had a bad fall out 🙁 )
• Place green eyeshadow in your outer corner making a “V”
• Now focusing more on the center of the outer “V” apply eyeshadow 2 / magenta eyeshadow
• Place dark red shadow 3 on your eye lid leaving the inner corner of the eye.
• Apply Shade5, a dark orange shade on the very inner corners of the eye.
• Blend harsh lines using compact. Use a fluffy brush.
• Highlight using light gold eye shadow, Shade 4.
• Apply soft liner and apply green eye shadow on your lower lash line.
• Add Mascara. For face makeup do foundation, blush, lipstick/gloss.
Are are ready to celebrate Diwali or attend a wedding function. 🙂
Hope you liked it !!

Another great look from you Deeptima :yes: I’m wearing Pink and Blue this Diwali 😀 I’ve got plenty of inspiration now :))
What is this Oriflame dual corrector? I’m really curious to know!
It’s a concealer. 🙂
Such a pretty look Deeptima!! Love the combination of colours! :yes: :yes: :yes:
Amazing look!!I have this palette…so I can’t thank u enough !! will surely try this out!! :yes:
This look seems to be perfect for diwali…..will try to find out a matching outfit i guess…
could you also do a review for CS shimmer pallette. i was contemplating buying it but was a bit sceptical as I like glitter but don’t prefer chunky glitter pieces in it
Very nicely explained. Taping is a good idea. I usually keep a paper and draw a line with black eye pencil.
Awesome tute once again Deeptima…. :-* :-* :-*
I draw the outer V with a pencil brush.. Never tried tape.. :-/
But tell me doesn’t it hurt when you pull off the tape??? ?:-) ?:-) ?:-)
@ Whoever can answer…
what’s the general rule as to how far the shadow should extend, as in the V?
Devie depends on your eye shape. But it should no extend beyond the tail of your eye brow. If you see Deeptima’s tape placement, she has placed the tape right where her eye brow ends.
Devie, you know how you wing your eyeliner out…. If you start an imaginary line, (edge of the tape in the above case)from the corner of your eye right upto and of your brow.. That’s where everything should end..
You can draw a line with a nude pencil/shadow you are using…
I find that with practice you automatically stay within the line..
Also if you cross it, you can always dip a cotton bud in cleansing milk and wipe it in a straight line…
Beautiful look!!!! :inlove: I really like your color combinations. :-))
Love the way you have explained.. I could never get the outer V right, never liked using pencil, taping sounds good.
Deeptima…. Your makeup always always always impresses me! You are so totally awesome!!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Lovely look. Ur eyes are gorgeous. Just wondering, doesn’t the tape pull at the skin?
Monica you can pat the tape at the back of your hand two three times. This removes most of the glue from the tape. Then stick it near your eye. It would work just fine. 🙂
thanks Rati 🙂
Hey Monica you could also use white paper surgical tapes they don’t pull the skin at all.
Wow love the “tape” idea :yes:
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: wowwwww Deeptima..loved the bright shimmery colours..and the tape idea..
