Take a look at Juneplum’s FOTD….When I first saw it, my jaw dropped!!!

http://www.specktra.net/showthread.p...=Playing+color

Eyes:
Ostentatious f/l as base
Blue brown p/g all over lid
Carbon - crease
Blue Brown & Smolder e/k - waterline
Retrospeck - highlight
Blacktrack f/l
Diorshow mascara

I get so many compliments when I wear this look. I’ve sometime added blue peep and delphic FLs as a liner. Also, if you don’t have ostentatious FL for the base, I’ve used dipdown and graphic brown FLs. I’ve also used flammable and deep shadow paints as a base, too.….So whenever anyone asks about how to wear blue brown, I always point them to Juneplum’s FOTD…ENJOY!

I'm NC42/ Prescriptives Level 4 with dark undereye circles as well as deep set (lots of area between lid and crease) and slightly downturned eyes. I'd love to see a tutorial on how to make the eye area brighter and upturned (besides winging up the eyeliner).

thanks!

being that this new collaboration with Barbie and MAC I thought it might be cool to do a similar look. I think we should have a challenge to see if it would work.

What do you think. I'll have a go at it over the weekend. I'm already wearing pink gloss today and I've had so many looks already. (and no, it doesn't look bad lol)

[SohoChic]

I actually copied the same look I will pos a tutorial soon. The look below. I used swimming as the green. It looked really cool!

I'd like to see a caramel brown cutie (NC45) create a turquoise look. I like shimmer/sparkles too. If anyone could do this tutorial for me, I'd be forever in your debt!

Would anyone care to show their application and looks of metal pigments? Any of them will do.

My lovely D has those eyes and she is fabulous in greens, golds, browns, and bronzes. I think you've got a great deal of versatility there!

Tutorials are useful for people of every color and splitting them up in two sections of the boards sounds like it would cause more problems than solve them. It could cause tutorials to be missed that would otherwise help a lot more people in the main Tutorials subsection of the forums. You would also get far more feedback in the main Tutorials forum as well--Specktra.net doesn't advocate non-constructive criticism, so there's no need to worry about that.

And what about the tutorials posted by women of color that are already in that section? It's not like they'd be moved, and so you'd have tutorials all over the place instead of organized all in one area.

Just my 2 cents, here.

I fully concur!

Is anyone still looking for a fresh faced or dewy look? I tried looking in the tutorials and didn't see any for darker skin tones. I can try to make one, but I would also be interested in seeing what other people have done too.

I myself am a huge fan of the Porn star look(smokey eyes nude full lips etc) and I have noticed it is very difficult to find a tut for this particular look especially for Dark black chicks. I also love the glammed up looks that I have spent an eternity perfecting (Playboy style makeup, 30's looks you get the point) I was wondering are there any request?.... Once again I work for Mac and own My own Cosmetic Biz so I know what a thing or two......I would like to hear your idea's the challenging the better Please send me idea's for only the looks that you find the most difficult for black women to achieve Non black Chicks can hit me too I love all women however Sista's get at me!!!!!

THESE...CAN YOU DO THESE!!! PLEASE???!!!

Preferably with pinks and browns. I want to look all rosey and healthy.
