If you're like me, you went all out for Finding Dory. Okay, maybe not as all out as this girl:
But you wanted to do something fun. I went with this look by Eimear McElheron on YouTube. I would've left it at that, but makeup was one of my special interests, and I had a lot of free time. And anyone who knows me knows that I don't generally do neutral colors. Thus, I took it a few steps further and created two more eyeshadow looks inspired by characters from the film, plus one more that I created just for this series, which I intend to continue with installments for more of my favorite Disney characters. I planned to put all three tutorials in just one article to celebrate the movie's Blu-Ray/Digital release, but that ended up a bit lengthy, so I decided instead to split it into three parts over the next couple of weeks.
First up: Destiny
1. As with any eye makeup, start with an eyeshadow primer.
Apply it all over the lid up to the browbone and blend it with your finger. I used the Urban Decay Primer Potion, but of course any primer will work. If you don't have a primer, you can also use a white eyeshadow or your concealer (just be sure to set it).
2. Apply a transition shade.
This helps with blending if you're using multiple colors on the lid. A matte yellow or orange works best, or you can use a shade that matches your skin tone. I opted for Puppy Love, from the Minnie's World of Color palette. Apply it all over the lid with an allover shadow brush.
2. Draw the cut crease.
Use a navy blue shadow on an angled eyeshadow brush and apply it above the crease (so the shadow is visible with your eyes open) from the inner corner to the outer V, then into the outer corner.
Use the same angled brush (or a flat detail brush) to fill in the cut crease with the same shade.
Diffuse the hard edges with a silver or gray eyeshadow on a fluffy brush.
3. Apply the lid shades.
Use a turquoise shade below the cut crease, and a light blue on the upper lashline. Don't worry about it if the light blue isn't as vivid as in the pan. A more subtle blue actually works to the look's advantage.
4. Accent with the waterline and lower lashline.
Apply a white pencil liner to the waterline, and use an angled brush or smudging brush to smudge the same turquoise shade along the lower lashline.
5. Add dots to the cut crease and highlight.
Use a white eyeliner (liquid works better than pencil for this) to draw dots all over the navy blue shade above the crease. Try not to put them on the lid shades, although it's fine if you put a few in between the navy and turquoise shades. Finally, add a highlight shade to the browbone. A shimmery color works best, but you can also use white eyeshadow, the light blue shade you applied to the upper lashline, or an eyeshadow one or two shades lighter than your skin tone.
If you're wearing this out, finish it off with your regular mascara (I skipped this since I was taking off the eyeshadow as soon as I finished this tutorial), then do the rest of your makeup as usual, but I suggest keeping it toned down so that the eyes are the focus of the face.
That's all for this week! Next week will be focused on this look inspired by Hank:
