As some of you may know, during the month of March, Disneybound challenges followers to put together a different ensemble each day. This year, the theme for March 5 was a favorite character from childhood. The only thing that came to mind was Dumbo (albeit more the ride than the movie), but upon raiding my closet, I couldn't find anything that fit.

So I improvised.

This week: Dumbo

1. Apply crease and lid shades.

After applying an eye primer, buff a matte dusty mauve eyeshadow into the crease, followed by a light peachy pink on the inner half and a gray shade on the outer half (matte or shimmer for both colors). Blend the colors together with a blank brush.

2. Draw ruffles on the lower lashline.

(If you're doing your face makeup, do it before this step.)

Using a red liquid or gel eyeliner, draw a squiggly line right on the lower lashline, then follow that line with a yellow or gold liner, followed by the same red one. If some of the product transfers from the first line, it can be easily fixed by drawing the line over it. Fill in any small gaps with a matching eyeshadow on an angled or pencil brush.

3. Line and highlight.

To start on the magic feather, line the upper lashline with a black eyeliner (the thinner the point, the better) and bring it to a small flick in the outer corner of the eye. Map out a dramatic wing extending from the line - curved, not straight like you would with a regular cat eye - and use short strokes on either side of the wing to fill in the feather design. Draw a short point out from the center line. Highlight the inner corner with a sheer silver shadow on a small brush, then highlight the browbone with a nude matte shade.

Tightline the lower waterline with a white pencil eyeliner, then finish with a black mascara.

In honor of the release of the new Beauty and the Beast remake, next week's look will have a certain mysterious, symbolic, ticking-clock quality to it...
