2017 has started off with a serious bang, and we have negative space makeup to thank for that.

Eye details for my @lucinda212 inspired look I used #milanicosmetics Secret Cover Concealer (shade 'Natural Beige') for the negative spaces. It's my favorite for things like this! Brows are #anastasiabeverlyhills Dipbrow in 'Ebony' topped with #nyx Crystal Liner in 'Crystal Pink' I used the #toofaced Peach Palette- 'Candied Peach' on the lid, 'Summer Yum' in the crease and lower lash line, 'Nectar' in the inner corner, and 'Georgia' as a blending shade #lorac 'Jet Black' on the lid and 'Chocolate' in the crease #urbandecay 'Savage' eyeshadow in the lower lash line, glitter liner in 'Junkshow' on the lid, 24/7 Lip Pencil in 'Ladyflower' in the waterline, and 24/7 liquid liner in 'Woodstock' for the wing #napoleonperdis 'Amazon Jungle' Color Disc as a blending shade and NYX Roll On Shimmer in 'Salmon' in the center of the lid pink rhinestones and caviar beads lashes are #ardell Wispies No. 601 #childoftheuniverse #beauty #beautyblogger #lucinda212 #makeupartist #mua #makeupaddict #nyxcosmetics #eotd #eyemakeup #undiscovered_muas #makeupartistsworldwide #makeup #negativespacemakeup #glam #glammakeup

The look is achieved by strategically using Sellotape, to create a lined pattern.

This trend originated as nail art, but has since made its way from hands to face... and we are so happy about it!
