------------------------------------------------
my bare-naked face



mix tinted moisturizer with luminzer on the back of your hand (or wherever you like hehehe)




blend foundation into skin using 190 brush



oops, forgot to put on concealer! so here i am fixing that



i use my ring finger to blend concealer in a rolling motion



the result



set foundation & concealer with powder, in this case blot powder in medium dark



the result



time to fill in the brows. i use porcelaine/browning and my smashbox #12 brush. (please don't mind my brows. i'm trying to grow them out so that i can get them shaped!)




apply udpp to the whole lid up to the brow




using the 239 brush, apply cornflower pigment to the tearduct and inner 1/3rd of the lid as shown. i like to pat on shadows onto my lid with the 239 brush.




the result



load 239 brush (after wiping it clean) with moon's reflection e/s and apply to the middle of the lid, leaving 1/3rd of the outer lid free for the next shadow.




the result



clean off 239 brush again and pack on flashtrack e/s.



apply flashtrack e/s to the last outer 1/3rd of the lid. bring color up into crease as well by "pulling" shadow from the outer corner into the crease.



this is how it should look (or pretty similar)



using your blending brush, my 217 in this case, pack on a silver shadow. i'm using Idol Eyes from the Lure collection.



blend the shadows near the crease to even out the harsh lines. also i use this as my highlighter by applying the shadow up to my brow.



how it should look



using your 213 brush (in place of my 219 since i am waiting for it to arrive) pick up some deep truth e/s.



apply deep truth e/s to the outer v of the eye. blend well!!!!



how it should look



apply silverbleu shadestick to the lower lashline as a base for the shadow



apply moon's reflection shadow to lower lashline with a smudge brush (i'm using a brush i got from a brush set in china)



does it kind of look like this?



using an angled liner brush (shiseido is what i'm using), pick up some nightfish fluidliner and line upper lid.



like so



use engraved powerpoint liner to line waterline



curl them lashes! i'm using my tarte curler which i love



apply mascara to bottom and top lashes



the result



apply falsies. i'm using ardell's 131 lash.





using a contoured blush brush, apply other worldly blush to apples of cheeks and cheekbones




the result



apply hush hush tendertones lip balm to lips



the overall finished look!







PLACEMENT (roughly drawn)


black = cornflower pigment
blue = moon's reflection e/s
pink = flashtrack e/s
green = deep truth e/s
silver = idol eyes e/s

You're pretty! I love the colors. I have a question though. Is the MAC one, is that already a tinted moisturizer? Or is that why you have the other product?

the mac select tint is the moisturizer. i just mix in the lorac luminizer because i like to have a nice glow, which the mac moisturizer doesn't have.

Gorgeous!

[HayleyVengeance]

[magi]

GREAT, it looks so easy the way you doing it and the colors are applied so exsactly and perfectly... Wow, wonderful job and thanks for sharin'

[YvetteJeannine]

This tutorial was superb!!!!!

Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this....It was really well-photographed, and easy-to-follow.

These blues are simply beautiful, and I wish they'd pop on me as much as they do on you, but I have blue/green eyes....They look fantastic with your brown peepers, though I'm still going to try this look (with a couple variations, since I don't have Flashtrack, Moon's Reflection or Silverbleu Shadestick).

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this....I REALLY hope to see more from you....I think a gold/copper/broze look would be great...(maybe you could do something like that someday)....Nice job!

[veilchen]

Love the blues and great tutorial!

[Bybs]

Girl, you've got awesome skills.

[Esperanza]

Thanks a lot for doing this tut Stephie. This blue makeup is lovely on you, it gives you gorgeous doe-like eyes

[Jadetive]

Oh wow. I'm not kidding, you look beautiful even without makeup and with makeup, totally gorgeous. And it doesn't look like an overloading of makeup either, which is great. I don't have that many blue eyeshadows with me, but I'll surely try it out myself. Thanks!

[MissChievous]

Beautiful!

[entipy]

Totally gorgeous. i might have to check this luminizer out . is it too shiny in the sunlight? i have a sort of oily t zone - would it be a overkill?

i've tried wearing the luminizer by itself all over my face without mixing it with my tinted moisturizer & that was TOTAL overkill!!! but if you mix it with something like foundation or whatever, it gives a nice glow.

thanks so much ladies!!!
