The [Simple] Harlequin Eye

Videos and Frame by Frame photos of the tutorials will be coming up soon. (:

This was my first time trying anything like this so far. But I think I did pretty well. It's a very, VERY simple Harlequin Clown Doll style eye. It literally took no more than about 3-4minutes.

What You'll Need;
-Black Liquid Eyeliner
-Black Pencil Eyeliner
-Black Mascara
-Silver Eyeshadow
-Glitter (It's color preference. Go for lighter colored glitters though)

Steps;
1. Trace the desired diamond shape around your eye with liquid eyeliner. Liquid is much easier to 'erase' and fix. Don't worry about making it perfect, it can be fixed throughout the process.
2. Use pencil eyeliner to go over the bottom waterline of your eye.
3. Use mascara to blacken both your upper and lower lashes.
4. Use the liquid eyeliner to fill the diamond shape. Preferably, I do the bottom first. Be careful when you do the top lid, because if you open your eye too fast it may ruin the design.
5. Use a small paintbrush to lightly dust on some glitter. You can do this wherever you'd like, but I went mostly for the bottom half.
6. Use the same paintbrush, or a eyeshadow brush, to outline the diamond with silver eyeshadow. Make it bold around the edges, and fade it out. This works best with a really shiny silver.
7. This is optional. You can take the liquid eyeliner once more, and go over the edges of the diamond just to make sure that it's as bold as can be.
8. Add any touch ups you'd like at this point. I added a white-out contact as a nice touch.
Hope you enjoy.
