Re: Beauty of Color Tutorial Requests
I'd love to see a tutorial on how to to navigate color (and being of color -- with small eyes behind glasses. (multiple issues, I know!) It seems I just keep looking like I've done nothing at all.

Re: Beauty of Color Tutorial Requests
^^Me too! Whenever I wear red lips, it seems it's always with eyes made up with either Naked or Provence pigments, black liner and mascara. I would like to see other eye interpretations, i.e., different shadow looks.

I just posted this as a tutorial. It has bold natural eyes (w/o any eyeshadow with a description of "peach-light neutral-with light neutral skintone reflects"), and there are two versions of the lips. There is neutral, and there is red. It's more of a vamp red.

Have you tried NARS Honululu Honey? If your lips are quite red like mine, the yellow undertones in this lipstick help neutralize the red, giving you a very nude lip.
How about a tut on mauves?

Good one! With all the nude and pink colors coming out for spring, it would be nice to get an idea of how POC are using them. Pinks seem so easy for paler complexions, not so much once you start getting into the brown end of the spectrum.

I am willing to post a tutorial, but I have no idea for what, so suggestions would be appreciated.
I posted a blue/summer look recently! Check it out; Let me know what you think!

I just posted a photo in the FOTD forum so if you like that look I could definitely post a tutorial on it. Let me know if you want one (it's mainly pinks & nudes).

pinks are actually easy for Woc's. and the darker skin allows us to extend the spectrum from yogurt e/s all the way to passionate e/s. flammable paint under passionate is a look that will surely get your lids noticed. bump that look up with bright fuchsia pro pigment layered over madly magenta pro cream color base, ok my mouth is watering.
pink is my absolute favorite color. i am blogging on my pink laptop this very minute. i wore a black arm band when rizzo lipstick was dc'd. nothing else is like it. lining the intense pinks with vino is foolproof and glossing over the mouth with clear lipglass- fantastic!
dollymix, coygirl, and pink swoon are some of my favorite blushes and im about 1 shade away from being too dark for mac foundations. hell, during these texas summers i am too dark for mac foundations.
yippeee pink- i love you

Re: Beauty of Color Tutorial Requests
Gingate, if you're still interested, I posted a tutorial which shows most of the techniques used in that tutorial, plus how I did the bottom liner step by step.

How do I put some more "life" into my face so it doesnt look completely flat & dull?
& Yea I'm a beginner with the makeup =P
an MUA put the Mineralized Skinfinish in Warmed on me and i had people all day asking me if i was from the islands so maybe that will help you. i wear nc 50 and my skin is naturally kind of colorless (in my opinion). the MUA put that color on me and another girl that was there that was a couple of shades darker than me and it still looked fab!
