♕ The Pokémon Series ~ Espeon ♕{Eeveelutions Mini Series}

New episode of The Pokémon Series! We're done with the first generation eeveelutions, so it's time to move on to the second generation ones! Gen II introduced two new evolutions, a psychic type and a dark type - and today I'm going to show you Espeon, the psychic eeveelution, along with its inspired look! 

Espeon, the Sun Pokémon.

Type: Psychic 

"Espeon is extremely loyal to any trainer it considers to be worthy. It is said that this Pokémon developed its precognitive powers to protect its trainer from harm."

I wasn't a huge fan of Espeon at first, but now I must admit it is quite cute and adorable! Its fur is short and lilac (thus this is its main colour), with a thin, forked tail, very big ears and tuft of fur underneath. It has purple eyes and a round, red gem right in the centre of its forehead (this red gem is peculiar of the psychic type - although not every Pokémon of this type has it - as it enhances psychic powers).

I designed a very simple look for Espeon that includes all its main characteristics: forked tail, red gem, purple ears, lilac fur and tufts. Speaking of that, I finally had the chance to use a FinisTerre mineral eyeshadow that my big sister sent me... It was just the perfect shade of lilac I needed! (Fairly enough, this shade is named Lilac XD)

After applying a thin layer of eyeprimer, I applied a white eyepencil all over the lid as a base to make the eyeshadow stand out more. With the same pencil, I drew on the inner corner the tuft patter that Espeon has under its ears, while on the outer corner I drew its forked tail. Then I applied the eyeshadows: Lilac Wonder by NABLA Cosmetics on the inner corner area, Lilac by FinisTerre all over the lid and the tail design - I pressed both shadows on the white base for a better result. On the crease I applied a matte mauve shadow (Circle by NABLA), while on the lower lid I applied Lilac again - but this time over a black base, as a little twist. Lastly, I used Narciso as transition shade and Antique White on my brow bone.

I decided to go for a bluish/purple eyeliner this time, to represent Espeon's elongated ears. In the picture I was using as a reference (which is the one I included in the picture above!) its ears looked way more bluish than purple, so I used a pigment in that shade to create the eyeliner (as I always do, just mixing it with some drops of Fix +). On a second thought, though, I wish I used a more purple shade - because, as you can see in the other pictures, Espeon's ears are decisively purple.
At this point I was almost done: I applied a purple eyepencil on my waterline, applied false lashes and mascara... As final touch, I applied a red rhinestone on my inner corner, to represent the gem that Espeon has on its forehead!
