DIY swatch Stencil

I'm sure you've all probably have seen those pretty swatches, that the beauty community post when they post a picture of their new eyeshadow palettes...

Example: 

If you look online the stickers that they sell that have the design already on them and are ready to swatch are really expensive. For only a couple of sticker sheets. (Which means only 1 use per sheet) 

With this simple DIY I'm going to help you guys save a couple of bucks. All you need is a simple roll of tape. Yes, you read that right all you need is tape (well you also need a pencil or pen, scissors & well the eyeshadow or lip stick you will need to swatch, but you know the main thing you need is the tape). 

*Disclaimer do not try this if you are alergic to adhesive or have sensitive skin. 

Items needed: 

-White masking tape

-Pencil or Pen

-Scissors or x-acto knife

How to do something like example 2

Step 1: 

Take the masking tape and draw the design you want

Step 2:

Rip off the part where you drew your design.

Step 3:

Cut out your design 

Step 4:

Put the tape on your wrist & start filling in with eyeshadow 

Color I used

Palette: the color Institute
Brush: Beauty Treats #313

Step 5: 

After you've finished filling the shape with eyeshadow. Peel off the tape and clean around the eyeshadow.

Step 6:

Finally after cleaning any loose eyeshadow it should look like this.
