Hi...

I have made a new tutorial today. I wanted to make one that´s useful and also for the girls who don´t wear too many bright colors. I have read the contest rules and want to add: I used some software, but never to change anything on the result of my look - just to make it a bit helpful and for a better overview.

What did I use:

Here we go:

First of all my basics: Mineral Foundation (selfmade)
and the brown with BENEFITs BrowZing in "Dark"

To make the lids even, the colors brighter and longer lastingg some eye shadow base or MAc Paint in "bare canvas"

I used my MAC 275 brush to apply "Whistle" e/s on the whole lid. It´s a great highlighter and a nice shimmering basic :-D

For the contour, a brighter look, I apply a dark shade, here MACs "Mothbrown" into the crease with a flat brush. Mine is one by daVinci and it´s semi-hard, so I can apply the color quite exsactly.

In the first step I use the brush upright and just along the bone. From left to right and back until there is enough colour and it´s even.

In the second step I use the brush horizontaly for a quite perfect line, like a pencil. It should be a quite natural shape that bring out the shape of the eyes and brows. (Later I will use "Mothbrown again" - sorry, I decited later that I was to lox with this line

).

Now I apply "Passionate" in the outer corner and a bit in the crease using fluffing brush (MAC 213).

In the middle ov the lid I applied a light pink shade from the DELIGHTS COOL EYES Palette called "Pale Out" using the same brush. By speckling I blendet it with the shadows arround it.

"Gingersoft" is an e/s from DELIGHTS TREND EYES Palette that I used with a small flat brush in the inner corner.

So as promised here is "mothbrown" again - I applied it a bit higher than before :-D

Now Iwanted to make the hard line softer. I took "Whistle" again and blended onto "Mothbrown" with a 275 brush and blended it...

With the small brush again I apply "Mothbrown" on the lower lid. Very simple along the lash line :-D

The quite matching "Lithograph" Fluidline has been applied with a thin liner brush by THE BODY SHOP:

And some knol by agnés b. in the water line. It´s a dark grey shade called "graphite"

Bit black on the lashes

With a fibre blush some MSF "Pink Porcelain" on the cheeks (I forgot to use my new Pearl Blossom

)

For the casual look I choosed a nude pink tone for my lipy by BENEFIT called "No Peeking"

Version 1: for the day

Version 2: For the Night

I just decited to make a third option, for those who like it even a bit more

Just added some "Passionate" into the corners ;-)

So I hope this is helpful... If there are any grammatical faults - please excuse :-D

Hi girls, I am very sorry for this mistake. It seems my hoster has some problems so I uploded the pics to another server. They should be available now again...

Thank you so much for your great feedback :-D
