    Small 'C's

    Using your black eyeshadow or eyeliner, draw small wonky 'C' shapes on the outer corner of your lid and above the crease.

    If using liquid eyeliner or black eyeshadow, use a small makeup brush or Q-tip to apply, making wonky 'C' shapes. When using black eyeshadow, a foiling technique (wetting the application tool - brush or Q-Tip) will give the shadow better pigmentation and staying power.

  3. Step 3

    When black 'C' shapes have dried, apply dark brown eyeshadow or liner inside of the 'C' shapes.

    If using liquid eyeliner or dark brown eyeshadow, use a small makeup brush or Q-tip to apply, making wonky 'C' shapes. When using dark brown eyeshadow, a foiling technique (wetting the application tool - brush or Q-Tip) will give the shadow better pigmentation and staying power.

  4. Step 4

    When dark brown has dried, apply a dab of white eyeshadow or eyeliner on top of the dark brown and black 'C's for more dimension. Voila! You have cheetah spot eyes!

Tips & Warnings
  • A primer for your eyes will make colour more pigmented and longer lasting.
  • Make larger spots to avoid looking like speckled trout.
  • Foiling will make the eyeshadows more pigmented and longer lasting.
  • MAC Pigments have great staying power & are easy to apply in detailed looks such as this one.
  • Makeup Brushes make this application easier as well.
  • Do not blend eyeshadows.
  • Do not add too many spots.
  • Do not use colours that are very similar to each other.
