As promised, yesterday I gave Illamasqua's speckled eyeliner a go...
I used Illamasqua's liquid eyeliner in Abyss to create a thick eyeliner flick. I absolutely love this eyeliner and the brush is so easy to work with. To create the speckles, I added a drop of Sealing Gel to my Intrigue blusher and dotted it onto the black liner. For the version I have posted here I varied the size of the speckles per Alex Box's gorgeous version. Mine obviously doesn't compare but with a bit more practice I could certainly have it looking a lot better.
As the day went on I decided to redo the speckles and add white dots over the liner which looked really cool and i'm definitely going to do again. I got loads of compliments and it was a great conversation starter. I didn't get any pictures of my dotty eyeliner unfortunately but will post a pic as and when I do it again.
On my lips I used Illamasqua's medium pencil in Manic. It's a matte finish but SO creamy and very highly pigmented so I didn't need to apply anything over the top. Great staying power too - I had dinner and it had barely budged at all!
I love the look of the black and white eyeliner and it's so easy to do. If you're unhappy with the white dots you can gover over with black eyeliner and redo them very quickly. I would definitely recommend this as an easy and fun alternative to classic black liner.
