Materials:
- Eggs
- Highlighter
- Orange or gold eye shadow
- Liquid eyeliner or Sharpie
Instructions:
- Boil your eggs in coffee to dye them. (or just start with a brown egg).
- Take a yellow highlighter and draw different size “spots” all over. Don’t think about it. Be sloppy.
- While the highlighter is still wet, rub an orange or gold eye shadow over the highlighted “spots.” The highlighter will dry immediately and the eyeshadow will set. (like magic)! I used a “colour me glow” palette which I believe I bought at the drug store for $1.99 years ago. Possibly for $0.99. Guessing you have some junk like that lying around. And if you don’t, you use such a small amount, go ahead and use your fancy stuff. it’s for such a good cause. ;)
- Take liquid eyeliner (again, if you have SUPER cheap or old stuff like me). If not, use a sharpie marker. Either will do perfectly. Again, be sloppy and irregular. outline some spots, outline half of others, make random marks. oh, and feel free to Google “leopard print” for an example if you need one.
