Wild Bird Series: Mandarin Duck

Fun Facts:

1. The Mandarin Drake is native to China and Japan

2. They are extremely maneuverable fliers, able to fly through trees with remarkable agility

3. Female mandarins don’t quack, but they do make a series of clucking calls that are invariably uttered when they see danger, such as a hunting fox

As always, we start off with an eye shadow primer. I used Urban Decay: Primer Potion

Next I applied scotch tape along my lower lash-line and bringing it upwards to help create a winged effect. I then applied Nyx Cosmetics: Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milkall over my lids

Using the Nyx Cosmetics: Happy Birthday Palette

I applied the second color in the top row to the outer half of my lid, using a large flat shading brush

Very carefully remove the tape, this will reveal the nice crisp line you have created

Next taking Makeup Forever: Eyeshadow in 1-922

With a smaller shading brush, I applied this to the inner corner of my lids, slightly blending it into the orange shade

Using my Sephora: Minnie’s World in Color

Using a fluffy blending brush, I applied Big Shoes To Fill into the crease

To my water-line I applied Urban Decay: 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero

Using a small smudging brush, I smudged So Demure from the Minnie’s World in Color Palette along my lower lash-line

I applied a thin line with a long wing along my top lash-line, using Revon: ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen

Right below the black wing, I applied Sephora: Colorful Wink-It Felt Liner in Bone White

To finish up the eyes, I applied 2 coats of Too Faced: Better Than Sex Mascara

Eyes are complete!

Onto lips…

Using the Urban Decay: Vice Lipstick Palette

I applied 714all over my lips using the lip brush the palette comes with

And your Mandarin Drake inspired look is complete!
