Leopard Eyes

This is a surprisingly simple look. All you need is:

NYX eyeshadow base in Skin Tone
Covergirl's Eye Enhancers quad palette in Coffee Shop
any black eye pencil
any dark brown eye pencil
any black liquid liner
NYX Candy Glitter Liner in El Dorado
the Falsies Mascara by Maybelline

First, prep the eyes with any eyeshadow base (I used NYX eyeshadow base in skin tone). Cover your eyelid all the way to your brow with the gold shadow, being sure to really make it pigmented above the crease. Also take the gold and spread it along your lower lashline. Below and into the crease, cover the gold with your copper and blend up with a blending brush. Take the copper and cover the gold on the bottom lashline about halfway in, starting from the outside. If you want, take a gold metallic eyeliner pencil (try Rimmel London's waterproof eye definer in Precious Gold) and draw a thick line at the lashline, carelessly winging it for a little extra oomph. This step is not at all necessary, but if you want to do it, go for it. Draw your spots, which are really just black parentheses in varying sizes and thicknesses, on the lid wherever you want with your black pencil. "Fill" the spots with your brown eyeliner, and retrace the black outlines with black liquid eyeliner for more definition. Line your waterline with the brown pencil and the top lashline with the black liquid, drawing it out into a straightened wing however far you want (you can curve it upward if you want, but I found that the straightness made the eyes a little more feral looking). Use a gold sparkly liquid liner on the lower lashline, as well as on the top right before the wing (when I say that I mean start in the middle and go to the end of the lid, but don't wing it). Finish off with the Falsies by Maybelline, making sure to get the bottom lashes really good, and done! Sorry if that was discursive, but it's definitely worth it :).
