Fix Your Face: Beetle's Wing/Scarab/Gradient/Ombre Eyeshadow Look

Whatever you want to call it, it’s fucking awesome. AND EASY. And cheap, of course.

I already directed you to this video tutorial a while ago. If you didn’t look before, do it now. Do as I say. DO IT.

In the video they use all sort of expensive shit to do this. Fuck that. You can do it for cheap.

• Instead of $25 Lorac eyelid primer, get the $1 e.l.f. shit.
• Instead of $20 Laura Mercier eyeliner in Black Turquoise, get the $6-7 Milani liner in Blackened Teal. (Ignore the glitter on the other end - it’s crap. Don’t expect to get two products out of this, and you won’t be disappointed when only one is useful.)
• Instead of $15 Mac Club eyeshadow, get the Wet N Wild Color Icon palette in Comfort Zone for $5, and get 7 other awesome shadows along with it. Use the bottom right shadow for this look.
• Instead of $23 Givenchy black eyeliner pencil, use whatever black eyeliner pencil you want. Seriously. It makes no fucking difference.

I honestly am always suspicious that some of these recommendations are sponsored by advertisers though, like in fashion magazines. So maybe do your research on these products before you buy, if they call to you. They’re not the same ones I’ve seen beauty bloggers raving about.
