Re: Amaranth's 1st Tutorial: SOLAR FLARE (Extremely Picture Heavy!)
Now get your face highlighter, I use Revlon Skinlights in Bare Light. Adds a really nice natural-looking glow and it sticks well.

Use those fingers, and apply it to the upper cheek bone. Blend it from the part of your face near your nose outwards towards the temple. If you have a hard time finding it, smile really big and apply the highlighter to the part where the apples of your cheeks recedes to your eyes...so basically from in between the part of the cheek that sticks out the most, almost to your eye.

Haha, fan it until it's dry. Those hands/fans are just a blur! It you use a cream and it's not dry, your blush will stick to unflattering places and it'll look like you have a horrible disease.

Now get a blush brush and your blush

And apply it to the apples of your cheeks between the highlighter and the bronzer. A lot of people smile and jam it on the parts of the cheeks that pop out, I make a different face. Whatever works for your face shape.

Now, at this point, you're probably thinking, Amaranth, you made me put waaayyy too much crap on my face considering how crazy the eye make-up is. Well fear not, mon frere...

The Kabuki Brush saves the day! (Unless you don't own one, in which case I actually just screwed you over...haha just kidding, see the next step)

Blend everything together in a circular motion, it should help remove any excess. If you don't have a 180 brush and you just added a huge amount of blush to your face until you look like a...well you get where I'm going with that...you can just take your 187 brush and put a tiny bit more foundation on top. Just a bit though! Or else you'll cover up all your hard work and your foundation will be approximately 3.954 inches thick, and it'll be back to looking like a...ahem.

Now a dash of Viva Glam V...a coral lipstick would look AMAZING right now, but I don't own anything close to a coral. Viva Glam V is luckily one of those shades that looks good on pretty much everyone, and it's not overly colourful so you can pair it with quite a bit.

And some Snowgirl on top, just add a dab to the centre of your lips and smush your lips together until its spread.

And we're done!

Yaaaaaaay! You're ready to go pick up some hotties at the club, or...go mow the lawn and go grocery shopping like I did today I'm just far too cool for school. I suppose the important thing is that SOMEONE saw it.

And my sizzle picture of FOTD fame...not from today's look, but the general mood of the look is there I can't get this line to be not underlined.


So there we have it! Hope you liked my first tutorial EVER! If anyone tried it, please post a picture, I wanna see!

You may now post if you wish
