Permanently Beautiful

One of the fun things about permanent makeup is that you can layer makeup directly over it whenever you want to create a special novelty look like Lady Gaga’s huge anime eyes. But the nicest thing about permanent makeup is that after the party’s over and you strip away all the gunk, you still look model beautiful!

Here’s how to create Lady Gaga’s huge anime eyes:

1. Apply primer around the eye, including lower lashes, using a slightly lighter concealer or foundation than on your face.
2. Fill in your brow with deep brown eye shadow, increasing the arch.
3. Enlarge the white of the eye by lining lower lids with a 1/4 inch curved line of white cream shadow. The line should be very thin at the eye’s inner corner, becoming thicker as you move toward the outer corner.
4. Layer 3 sets of false eyelashes on upper lids and apply a single layer to the skin along the white area under your lower lids.
5. Draw a thin line of charcoal gray liner along the false lash lines. 
6. Use dark pink shadow to create curved contours along the upper lid and under the lower lid, making the outermost end of the curving sweeps slightly thicker.
7. Highlight contours with shimmering silver cream shadow, adding a single dot of silver to inner eye corners and the center of each upper lid to focus admirers’ attention.
