Make your own Dior Velvet Eyes

Painting winged eyeliner is a skill that take ages to perfect. Last year Christian Dior came up with a solution to this by releasing Velvet Eyes. They are essentially appliques that are cut from thin velvet with an adhesive back, so all you have to do is stick them on your eyelid and you get instant perfect eyeliners. However, a pack of 4 sets of eyeliners cost $55, which is very steep considering you are getting 8 stickers.


This year more and more companies are releasing their own knock-off version of Velvet Eyes. While those are cheaper, you can make some yourself for pennies. You will need to find velvet paper (also called flocked paper). Find them at scrapbook section at craft stores in 8''x10'' sheets for $1 (which you can cut more than a hundred pairs from). You can also add rhinestones, glitter, or other decorations for your applique. Finally you will need eyelash glue to stick them to your eyelid. Simply cut the shapes out of the velvet paper and decorate. To apply spread a thin layer of glue that covers the entire back surface of the applique, wait 15 seconds for the glue to become tacky, and carefully stick it close to your lashline.
