lily collins 🍷 inspired look

Cheers to #Euphoria for making glittery, color block makeup more popular ! Makeup artist Doniella Davy shared some of her tricks on HudaBeauty and WhoWhatWhere articles. To recreate Rue’s glitter tears look on the Carnival episode, I took these tips ✨ 🔮 Use scotch tape to create clean lines for color blocking 🔮 Use a glitter (eyesafe!!) gel that dries down fast for the triangles 🔮 Buff burgundy eyeshadow onto the eyelids + line eyes with a black pencil 🔮 Make triangles smaller if you want it to be more “wearable” 🔮 (sooooorta a makeup tip) photograph glitter in low light 🌹 DID IT WORK? 🌹 Overall, yes! Buffing the eyeshadow and eyeliner were easy, but the glitter part got tricky. To make it pop, I layered the URBAN DECAY - Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Midnight Cowboy over stila - Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadowin Dollish. The stila product has finer shimmer and pigment to add more dimension. BUT I picked up on more tips during the process to help fellow newbies: 🌙 REALLY secure the tape on your face. And yes, it’s important that it dries down fast. The stila product was just a little too liquidy, so it bled under the tape. Still got a straight line, but I had to touch up after. 🌙 Use the outer edge of your eye to guide the tape’s angle. You can angle the tap as long or as steep as you want- either way, using the outer corner as your guide will help it look cohesive. Start with a small triangle if you want to make this “wearable” for the weekend /everyday makeup. 🌙 Blend your eyeliner. Use your finger or a brush to blend the black liner on your upper and lower lash line. Where you apply it depends on your eye shape, but a little blend will make the eyes look more smokey/ moody than a clean line. Also, build it up slowly. The glitter is the focus~ the liner just helps frame it. 🌙 Make your mascara subdued (optional) Like the liner, use a light hand with mascara if you want to match Rue’s mood here. Especially if you have oily lids like me, a light hand will help stop raccoon eyes from hiding the glitter triangles. 🌙 Pair with a reddish, blotted lip for more glam Though Rue / Zendaya doesn’t have a lippie on here, you can do a red, purple, or pink lip to make it look more feminine or stylish. ⭐️ A final thought: Davy made a comment that in Euphoria, her makeup goal wasn’t to make eyes look bigger or lips more plump. It was more about showing how the character felt in that moment. So in this scene, she used the upside down triangles to make Rue look melancholic (for reasons I will keep hush)! It makes sense that even though she has glitter, the look isn’t full glam. I just thought that was fun food for thought with makeup. So take these looks and tips and make them your own!
