Smokey Gold tutorial

[mzjae]

This is my first tutorial on here so I don't know if I did well. Anyways, here you guys go...

Things you need:
- Eyeshadow base (UDPP)
- Benefit highbrow(optional)
- Corn shadestick
- Gold Dusk pigment
- Eyeshadows: Espresso, Goldmine, Amberlights, Shroom, Suspicion, Blacktied
- Blacktrack f/l
- Mascara
- Foundation, Powder & Bronzer
- Creamkiss c/l
- VGVI
- Springbean l/g
- Blush: Peachtwist
- Tools: 213, 266, 224, 205, 316, 129, 187 & a unknown fluff brush & powder brush

Start with a fresh face. Yeah, this is ugly. I'm all tired & crap. =P


Fill in your brows. I used Espresso for this.


Add your e/s base & blend it with fingers


After I add Benefit Highbrow. This is optional.


Now get some Shroom e/s & apply to your browbone


Then apply Corn shadestick to your lids only.


After apply Gold Dusk over Corn s/s


It should look like this now.


Now apply Goldmine to the inner lid w/ the 213


And now apply Amberlights to outer lid w/ the 213


It should look like this


Now pick up more Amberlights w/ the 224 & blend it between the middle of the lid & into the crease. I do it in sorta a windshield wiper motion & in small circles


It should look like this now.


Now take the 224 again & get some Suspicion & put it on your outer v & blend.


Then I take 224 again & get some Black Tied & put it over Suspicion to darken it more. Again, blend. =)


It'll look like this now...


Line the top lashline & waterline.


Curl your lashes.


Now I take the 205 brush & get some mascara on it. I paint my lashes instead of using a regular mascara brush. It separates the lashes instead of clumping them.


It'll look like this now.


Apply your foundation. I take some SFF w/ my 187 & apply it on my face while making a funny face.


After the foundation.


Now take your 224 to apply bronzer to contour your face. Make the fishy face so you can apply it to the hollows of your cheeks. Like this...


Now apply Peachtwist blush on your cheeks.


Line your lips with Creamkiss c/l


Fill with VGVI l/g


Finish your lips off with Springbean l/g


Since my cheeks look real bright, I lighten it by getting my Flirt skunk brush & blending it to make it softer.


Finish off with your powder. I used Medium Dark blot powder.


Then take a picture of yourself & post it on Specktra!

I'm not sure what hair it's made out of. the 205 isn't even on the website. Try searching in specktra for it because I know there's a thread somewhere.

thats a great tutorial. you look great in the pics

[Nyla2120]

You did an awesome job! It's so funny because this looks so much like my signature every day look! I use Goldmine on the lid, Romp & Espresso in the crease, Black Tied on the outer corners & Nylon or Dazzlelight to highlight. It looks just like yours but just the crease is darker. And has anyone ever told you that you look like Cheryl from Dancing With The Stars? You're so cute! Thanks so much for posting this! Okay, I'm done rambling now.....

Thank you!!! I want to see your everyday look! =] Oh man, you're like the 10th person to tell me I look like Cheryl. The first was my bf's mom. Then my bf saw her on Suite Life of Zack & Cody & he's all, "You look a lot like her!" Haha.
