This one Instagram trend got us so excited; it had us seeing stars. Quite literally, in fact. And it looks so good on its creator Rocio Cervantes, we kinda want to re-create it for ourselves too. (Tutorial, yea or nay?)
Check out how negative space is once again brilliantly utilised in this mesmerising inner corner design:
It’s cute, and not too over-the-top and surprisingly easy to create as well. All you have to do is get yourself some tiny star stickers (like the colourful ones you get in primary school for a good grade), and stick it on the back of your hand a couple of times to take away some of the tackiness. When dealing with delicate areas such as the inner corners, it’s best to always be gentle.
Grab a pair of tweezers and position the star(s) where you want it to be. They don’t necessarily have to be in the inner corners of your eyes; they really can be anywhere — perhaps like the signature heart design on the cheek of Marina and the Diamonds. But since we already always dab in a shimmer shade in the inner corners of our eyes to brighten things up, a mini star that’s made using negative space could be part of the party too.
Pat on your desired powders after properly positioning your star sticker. Cervantes did go in first with a white eyeshadow so that colours placed after that will better pop, but you could very well just go in with a subtle highlight for a subtle inner corner star. Your looks don’t have to be as dramatic as hers, it could really just be a pretty everyday brown eye look, and the negative-space star will look just as beautiful.
And… that’s all there is to it! Told it was easy, didn’t we?
