summer look with blue peep, golden olive and golden lemon
Ok - so this is an old tutorial I posted on LJ a long while ago. Its not that great, and I could probably do better if I stopped being so darned lazy!
But I thought I'd post it here because its a really simple look that is easy to replicate.


here we go!

LOTS OF PICTURES (duh)
Supplies (things are dirty because I took this pic last!)


DISCLAMER!!! Apparently golden lemon isn't eye safe (for most of us)- so use at your own risk!

(later that day)...Since some of my supplies aren't eyesafe, I redid the look with Shu Umeura Papaya and Gorgeous Gold and used Brassy Fluidline (just for the heck of it) as a base - everything else is exactly the same! see:


eyes:
sweet sage fluidline
blue peep fluidline
golden lemon pigment
golden olive pigment
pollen e/s
maybelline lash expansion mascara black
cheapo concealer brush
#212 - flat definer - liner brush
#213 - small fluff, I used several brushes like these too

face:
smashbox photo finish primer
maybelline dream matte mousse
mineralize skin finish in so ceylon
bare escentuals flawless foundation brush
#180 - small buffer

lips:
whirl lip liner
B&BW Tutti Dolci Cinnamon Frosting Gloss

Lets start out with a blank scary canvas. You did remember to clean and moisturize, right?!


Now lets put on our Sweet Sage fluidline as a base. I like to use this cheap l'oreal brush - that might actually be a concealor brush!


then we should look like this:


Now we slap on some Golden Lemon Pigment with a small fluff brush (I think I used the 213). Then apply some Golden Olive Pigment to the outer corner and crease


Don't forget to line the lower lashline with some Golden Olive!


Now for the lovely Blue Peep Fluidline!

Hmmm...that looks like enough!


okiepokies:


Now - I'm a klutz like nobodies business! Whenever I'm using pigments, I seem to go retarded and get it EVERYWHERE! So I like to use those little facial wipes to get the excess off!

Now for the foundation! Today I'm using Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse (the second lightest one) So I dot it on my face, and blend & buff with my trusty 180 brush!


Thats better!


AAAAAHHHH! CRAP! We forgot to highlight the brow bone!
No worries! (just as long as it isn't a messy pigment!) So I grab another small fluff brush and lightly apply Pollen e/s


Now we brush on a bit of the Mineralize Skin Finish in So Ceylon - just so I don't look like a dead person!***


A little Whirl lip liner...


A smidge of Bath & Body Works Tutti Dolci Cinnamon Frosting gloss! (do not eat)


And for some reason, I always like to put on mascara at the very end soo...


and I think, chickies, that we are done!
http://img197.imageshack.us/my.php?i...rial0225uy.jpg


***I used that brush pre-187. Seriously, pick up a 187!!!

Looks lovely.

I found it strange though to see you putting on foundation after doing your eyes as i always do my base first and thought everyone did but it still looks great and you don't need much base anyway!

well - like I said, I'm messy!
I got the idea from going to one of those mac pro events - they suggested doing it that way in case you got some shadow/pigment on your cheeks - or if you just plain didn't like the direction the look was going in!

I used to do it the other way around - but this way is just so much easier for me!

Yeah, when I got my makeup done at MAC before, they did my eyes first before the base. I think it helps especially when you use dark colours

but I don't understand - do you mean how as in, foundation last is fundamentally wrong? or what?
haha - sorry. I was a little confused!
