Hiya Everyone. Happy Easter Sunday to you. I hope are enjoying the weekend so far. Today I have some interesting eye products to show you that were sent to me for free to review by Kat from Touch Media.
StarGazer Sexy Eyes Temporary Eye Tattoos in Left: Flourish & Right: Flames
I have been meaning to try out some eye tattoos as I was intrigued to see how well they work. They bring so much drama to the eyes so they seemed right up my street.
These looked a bit large for my eyes and I thought they might be a little fiddly to apply so I just used part of one set. I used the smaller section from the set Flames on the right to add a firey wing to my eyes.
My skin was clean. Free from oils and make-up. Make sure that yours is
the same when applying these or they may not adhere to the skin
properly.
I cut around the design carefully with some small, sharp scissors cutting off as much excess as possible so that they would be easier to apply.
I removed the clear protector and placed the design facing downwards against where I wanted it on my eye.
With a damp cloth I pressed firmly against the tattoo ensuring it had wet through the whole design.
I could see the paper sliding away and some of the design appearing on my skin. I was worried that I may break or smudge the design so after about 30 seconds I removed the paper gently.
I used the damp cloth to gently press against the tattoo to make sure it sat nicely on the skin.
I have to say it came out perfectly with no smudging or splits in the design. I then applied the other eye tattoo in the same way, trying to match it at the same angle as the other eye, but in reverse.
I then applied my make-up being careful to use smaller brushes around the eye area.

I wanted the tattoos to be the main focus of the make-up and so I made the rest of the make-up quite simple. I went over the whole of the eyes with a cream shade, using a small angle brush around the tattoos. I used a black shade to define the crease and line the eyes so that the tattoos would join to it nicely. I went over the tattoos with this black shade just a little to deepen it a bit more and so it matched the eye lining. I did not apply any product other than clear mascara to my brows to keep the eye tattoos the focus.
The tattoos were removed easily with make-up remover on a cotton pad pressed against the eye for about 10 seconds. You can also use baby oil, but be careful not to get it in your eyes.
I like to blog while wearing the make-up look I am writing about and while doing so I wear my glasses. To show you these tattoos also look great with glasses I just had to show you this photo.
These come in 6 designs at £4.00 per set, Link. They all look great. I would like to try the design Four Eyeliners. I think you could cut that one also to use with one or two flicks at a time if like me you have smaller eyes.
Have you tried using temporary eye tattoos? Which ones are your favourites? Let me know in the comments below.
Love to you all
Hmm, now this looks fabby!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth buying a couple of packs to play around with. I suppose that, unless you're willing to experiment every day, it's going to be fiddly (rather like putting on false eyelashes unless you wear them every day).
Plenty of potential for trying out various looks & augmenting them with a gel eyeliner. Have you found yourself using them up, or are they something that ends up sitting around because you don't feel like putting yourself through the fuss?
They are definitely not an every day thing for me, but great for something different if you have the time.
