Get Away From Me, Eye Version

While there's certainly a time and place for makeup designed to make you look nice, pleasant, and thoroughly approachable, doing only this look gets old fast.  Here's a simple and easy "fuck you" eye, inspired by the lovely Lipstickeater's Black Narcissus post.  Wear it when you want to go out and don't want to pull. 

You will need:
• a face
You can put extra makeup on yours or not.  I've elected not, as having a natural face helps lend the impression of monstrousness. 

• at least one eyeliner brush
Make sure your brush is in a state where you are comfortable with the idea of touching it to the area around your eyes.

 • red eyeshadow or liner
 This is available, but you may have to use the internet to obtain it.  It's also wise, though a complete headache, to check the ingredients list against the Cosmetics Safety Database to ensure that you're not filling your face up with lead or cancer. 


Directions
1. Line your lower lid with the red eyeshadow.  You are now done with the makeup portion of the face, although you can continue doing other things to your eyes or head if you wish.  Extending the line horizontally from the outer corners or towards the centre will give a more intentional, makeuppy effect, while lining your upper lid with either red or black will make you look like a bit of a tool. 


2. Using the muscles in your face, lift only the outside corners of both eyebrows, while pulling the lower part of your eye upwards, Clint-Eastwood style.


Avoid making references to Kabuki while wearing this look.
