Start with a fresh clean face..


1.Underline your eyebrows w/ Spiked brow pencil..


2. With a small brow angled brush pick up some NW20 s.f.c and underline your brow..like so..



3. With a 242 brush blend it out..



4. Add soft ochre to entire eye area minus the lid. Thats where your chromaline will come into place..


5. Now, get your chromaline w/ the 242 brush and pat it all over the lid..






6.With a 217 brush pick up some cork, and blend it on your crease..



7. With a 252 pick up some vellum and place it under neath your brow bone..




8.Pick up some Mont Black.. and place it on top of the chromaline, just at the very base of the lid (close to the lash line)..



9. Now pick up some Black Black pigment, and place it all over the lid..(This is one of my favorite pigments, its so rich in color and in comparison it makes carbon look gray! its that dark!)



10. Now with a 224 blend out the black black...


..should look something like this..


11. With the same 224, pick up some cork and go back and blend w/ the black black..


.. should look like this now..


12. Now with a wipe, clean up any fall out and make the sharp line at the end corners.. if you want.


13. With your 219 pick up dazzel light and place it on the inner corner of your eyes..



14. Line your water line with Graphblack...


15. Now pick up some black black and smudge it underneath with this brush.. I forgot the number, but its coming out with the Blonde Brunette Redhead collection.. so yeah! buy it! Its amazing!




16. I already had my strobe cream on, and now I am gonna apply my Hyper Real foundation w/ a Damp beauty blender which I ended up loving thanks to Spencer Lopez, I saw her using hers and it made me re-discover mine



17. Now put some concealer on with a fluffy brush.. Im bad w/ number guys sorry.. I forgot the number of this brush..



18. Grab some Cubic w/ 129 brush..



19. Now with your 109 grab some Soft and Gentle and place it as a cheek highlighter up to your brow too..



20.Grab your spiked brow pencil again, and now do the top outline of the brow..


21. Now re-touch the whole outline with some Dipdown fluid line to make it darker and a cleaner line.. I have jet black hair so I prefer my brows to be a really dark brown..


22. Fill them in w/ Mystery eyeshadow.. the flash washed it out.. but its a pretty dark color..

23.Ok, so just how you underlined with concealer you will out line the very top and blend it w/ a 242 brush.. its what I do to have my brows look clean..



24. Pick up your Lip erase.. and apply it.. makes me look cracked out! lol

Told ya!


25. Pick up your lip products..


26. Line your lips w/ Ginger root.


27. Fill lips w/ Peach stock..


28. add naked frost lipgloss from the chill collection..


and you're done!! yay!!

[HeartsANDkisses]

I love it! The eye makeup looks beautiful! Now I gotta go get me some black black pigment

[teha83]

Wow this was great! I loved all your tips and tricks.

[mexicana32]

Very pretty, but I think your eyebrows are perfect, you don´t need to re-touch them

[Ruby_Woo]

Thanks everyone for your comments!
Laguayaca yeah I share my tricks that other artist don't, I dunno why but some are very protective of them. I was taught this by another artist and I was thankful so I pass it forward. Specially because off of tutorials is how I became interested in makeup and I found things that worked for me and things that didn't. So I just hope I can help someone the way I was helped

Mexicana32 thanks! The reason I retouch them though is that when I do heavy eye makeup they look kind of weird and really light!

Thanks everyone for looking an I hope you guys found this tutorial helpful.

[onepinkdiamond]

that would be a definite 'no'. Just make a new account. It stinks losing your 'thanks' and kudos, but I made the sacrifice due to my posts from my previous account were appearing in google search results!! I didn't really feel too comfortable with that just because.... but I guess I should have known ....'tis the internet

[onepinkdiamond]

OMG, this is the bomb. Definitely worthy of tut of the month Rock on girl!

[uh_oh_disco]

I really love how you did your eyebrows, I'd never have thought to do that! Definately gives me something to try out when I get home - thanks :]
