During my last post in a review of the Bourjois Khol & Contour eye liner pencil I had mentioned that I had entered in a give away for which I had to do an eye make-up.
The contest entry is finally published so I can now share with you the photos with the eye make-up details.
This is a contest hosted by Beauty Diaries and is sponsored by L'oreal where we are required to submit eye make-up and the theme is "Electrifying Eyes"
As you all know I have not dabbled in eye make-up (barring one post Simple Eye Makeup) so I was a bit sceptical on entering the give-away but then I thought I should at least enter - if nothing else I would get some practice on eye make-up :)
So here are a few pics from the contest entry
Now for a breakdown of what I did
The look has been done in the same manner as explained in the Simple Eye Makeup Tutorial. I began by covering the entire lid using ELF Shadow & Liner pencil in BASIC - this was applied right to brow bone area.
Then I took the ELF Shadow & Liner pencil in SMOKE and covered the lid area only.
Now was my favourite part. I took the Bourjois Khol & Contour pencil (shown in the review HERE) and applied this in a very thick line along the lash line. I followed this by gently smudging the colour all over the lid. This gave the 'electric' blue colour as you see in the pics.
After smudging it I reapplied along lash line but this time I applied a thinner line and did not smudge it.
I also lined my water line with the same pencil liner and was done!
I am not sure whether I will win the contest or not but I had fun doing this and I really liked the electric look it gave to my eyes.

Hope you find my eyes "Electrifying"
