[QTAllStarGurl]

Ahhhhh yes.....i did another tut .....i was extremely hyper 2nite and needed something to help calm me down so i decided doing my makeup would do the trick!! Thats what I get for eating two bags of chocolate covered espresso beans AHHH HA HA!!!....still hyper i see....ok on with the wacko show......

I've been doing this type of look pretty much all week with a bunch of different colors (depending on what im wearing or mood) so it works with most colors and i really like it so i've decided to share it!! yay

This is the finished product of my labors...the fruits of my loins


and YES i have changed my hair weeee ...the purple matches the purple in my hair!!!!...haha im a sly sly fox

UDPP, MAC '06 Holiday Intense Eye Palette (Gallant e/s), NARS Night Fever e/s, Too Faced e/s Duo in Ohh and Aah, Studio Gear Star Dust in Champagne, Stila Smudge Pots in Black, MAC Feline Kohl Power e/l, MAC Pewterpink Glitter Liner, L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara, Some Random Lashes (not pictured), Sephora Makeup Perfecting Base, MAC Prep + Prime Eye, Dream Matte Mousse in Cocoa, MAC Deep Dark MSF, MAC Sweet as Cocoa Blush, MAC Global Glow MSF, Too Faced Beauty Balm, Benefit Lipstick in Sugar Rush, Tutti Dulci l/g in Chocolate Fondue

The Brushes


MAC: 224 & 219, Face Secrets: Foundation, Powder, Large e/s, and Small e/s Brushes, Sephora: Stippling, Angled Liner, and Brow Brushes

ok...GO!!!!
Start with no makeup face (strange face optional)


First I put on my Sephora Base....I shake it first or else it comes out i little funkyyy


Then put on ur UDPP with the foot of a doe....why is it called a doe foot neway??


Now you have a nice even base!!!


Now take the Studio Gear podwer or the highlight of your choice on the 224 ...like so


apply to the brow bone for the purpose of highlightingment...


I put it all the way down to the crease area b/c it helps with blending later on so it looks like this..


Now use ur 219 to pick up some of the Gallant e/s (or any color really)


Now put it in the inner corner it doesn't have to be perfect...it shall be fixed a little later


Ok...take the ooh....im assuming thats what it called since the duo is called ooh and aah...or it could be aah....the black side!! lmao


Now put it on the mobile lid.....


The take more shadow from the black side but with the 224 this time


Put this on the crease area blending into the highlight color


Should look similar...except not my face...unless you have my face...somehow


Now get some of the NARS night fever on ur 219 ....mine got crumbled like cookie bits


Put that on the outer V


Now blend but try to not blend it so much that it mixes in with the other shadows too much since they're all black


Outer V should still be slightly defined...like so


Now close ur eye well not really close but kinda squint...then start to blend Gallant into the other shadows...getting a tiny bit of Gallant onto the 224 first may help...


Now he looks?? like this he looks?? haha im crazy hyper!!


Then take ur 219 and add some Night Fever to the lower lash line...u dont need to pull it down as much as i did b/c i ended up getting it inside my eye b/c of this....


Should look like this....like a black eye hahah...this too shall be repaired


Put Stila Smudge Pot of Fluidline on the Top and Bottom Lash and Water Lines with a liner brush


Now for peeps like me that like they're liner dark...add Feline k/p on top of the other liner


It should now look like so..


Now for the funn part.....Pewterpink G/L!!!


Add it on top of the other liners...I didnt worry that it doesn't shop up that much b/c i wanted it to be a sublte glittery effect


Now for the Mascara...


Now add concealer and put on foundation




And buff on the Natural MSF with a fluffy powder brush or a kabuki brush


Sweet as Cocoa Blush time!! i love this stuff




Now Take Global Glow...aka mister glitter chunks...grr....use Stippling Brush for this part or 187


You Glow Girl!! lmao im corny


Now take Too Faced lip balm and put onn...


And put a nude lipstick on top .....i like sugar rush....i've done this with touch too and its pretty 2


Now put the chocolate fondue lip gloss on top


and make a slightly evil face that says ...im about to steal ur undies MUAHHHHAHAH!!!


Now take ur lashes....add the glue and wait for it to get tacky (like shoulder pads)


While the glue was drying...i decided to do my brows..we cant 4get these!!!


and guess what....ALL DONEEEE!!!...go cam whore!!!






show off ur purple hair!!!!




Half smile...like the cool kids....back in the day haha










ahhh .....thats alot of pics!!!....whoring aint easy....but sum1's gotta do it!!!

The shadows that I know of that are similar to Gallant are Satellight Dreams, Parfait Amour (its a little lighter tho), and Violet Pigment is pretty close too....HTH!!!

[Honey Flash]

You have gorgeous eyes and I love the tutorial. Awesome job I'll have to give it a try.

By any chance are you wearing contact lenses? I'm hoping you are cuz I love the color.

[VeXedPiNk]

Wow!! You look gorgeous! I love how you can mix up the colours too... and I can totally sympathize with chocolate espresso bean hyperness. I try to not buy them because I can't make myself stop eating them when I do have them.

Thanks for the tut
