Faux (self-drawn) Tattoo

When you can't (or more like, unwilling) to get the real thing and when you don't wanna splurge on the Chanel ones...

..do what I did and draw on some of your own! :) All it took was some liquid eye liner (make sure it's a good budge-proof one) and Etude House's Tear Drop Glitter Eye Liner (given by miwitch). Ohh, and some creative juice!

A close up of the design at the wrist:

And those at my middle finger, thumb and the back of my wrist:

And how it looks against a black polo tee and denim shorts (sorry had to show you guys my crotch Q__Q):

A few cam-whoring pics with my creation:

I had on a winged eyeliner and some of Etude House' glitter eyeliner on the inner corner of my eyes when I went out that day. Paired this simple eye look with some orangey-red lips but after dinner and  coffee, it all wore out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, I loved the idea so much that I wore it out to a friends gathering the next day. Of course since these aren't permanent, I had to redraw them but no problem! I had on another design for that gathering (but didn't photograph it cos I was in a rush). And I got a few compliments, even though one of my friends exclaimed "Waste eyeliner!!!"

I was like "Hello, I have been using this eyeliner for 1 year and it isn't even finished!"

"Ohhh, trying ways to buy new eyeliner harh?"

Ha ha, he totally read my mind! But yeah, I think my eyeliner is finally drying out a little after this tattoo thing and it's good! Cos I've got my eye on one of the new pen-type liquid eyeliner recently brought in by Watsons, heh.

So that's my home-made version of the Chanel-esque temporary tattoo and if you want some but cannot afford the Chanel ones, this is a good thing to try out. Or if you're finding ways to use up eyeliner, this is definitely a good way! Ha ha, hope you guys enjoyed the pic spam, thanks for reading!
