Hand makeup- Step by step process

Hand makeup- Step by step process

I decided to create a step by step process on how to create an eye makeup on the back of your hand, this was my first attempt of creating this and I found it fairly easy to do so. Carry on reading if this is something your interested in creating as it is fun and fairly quick to do.

Firstly I started out by drawing the shape of the eye, I used Blacktrack gel eyeliner by MAC to do this. Remember to create the inner flick on the eye (thin line) and your winged liner at the end of your eye (thicker line). This line doesn't have to be perfect as you will be able to go back over it in the next steps. I then used a fluffy brush and used eyeshadow 'Frappe' by Makeup geek fairly high above the line I just created, use quite a lot of product in order for it to show up.

Next I used shade 'Embark' by MAC and pressed it on with a flat brush in the outer corner, I then blended the edges with a fluffy brush making sure it blended into my 'Frappe' shadow.

After this I got my Fix plus by MAC and sprayed it on to my flat eyeshadow brush, I then used shade 'Sin' from my Urban Decay shadow box and began patting the product on, making sure to make an eye shape with the eyeshadow. Using fix plus made the eyeshadow more pigmented and noticeable when applying it to my hand.

To create a dark Smokey eye I used 'blackout' from my Urban Decay shadow box, once again patting it on with a flat eyeshadow brush in the outer corner and blending the edges with a fluffy brush. After this I went back in with my blacktrack eyeliner and started to create more of a shape and thicken up the line.

I then used my Blacktrack eyeliner to start creating the lashes, also going in with my MAC liquid eyeliner to make them appear blacker. Make sure your lashes are going in the right direction and appear smaller at the start of the eye. This step I found was the most difficult as it is hard to get the detail of the lashes.

Finally I used my Anastasia Beverley Hills dip brow in dark brown to create the brow, start of by tracing the shape of the eyebrow and building it up slowly. Last but not least I added Makeup Geek eyeshadow 'Rapunzel' under the brow to show highlight.

I hope this post helped you if your thinking of trying this hand makeup out yourself, this was only my first attempt so it wasn't the best but I hope to try doing more of these in the future and improving! Thanks for reading,
