I've gotten several requests for the tutorial from my FOTD so here it is!

The inspiration:

What we're trying to achieve:

Items Used:

L'Oreal De Crease (or any other eyeshadow base like UDPP/TFSI)
Indelible Cream Eyeshadow in Nude Frost (as a base for the white gold color)
Sweetscents Mineral Pigment in Pearl and Gold Silver & Diamonds
Manly Eyeshadow Palette: 1-I3 (medium rose brown)
MAC Eyeshadow in Concrete
MAC Eyeshadow in Ricepaper (highlight)
Bloop Eyeliner Pencil in Black
in2it Long Wearing Eyeliner in Black
L.A. Colors Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Flamingo Mascara/Falsies

First, prep the lid with L'Oreal De Crease. Using a flat synthetic brush, apply Nude Frost cream eyeshadow up to the crease, concentrating more on the inner lid. With an eyeshadow brush, sweep on Pearl pigment over the Nude Frost base.

Next, get a soft round crease brush (I'm using Coastalscents' Pink Round Crease Brush) to apply the Rose Brown eyeshadow into the crease. Bring down the shadow to the outer corner of the lid and shape the shadow into a wing. Blend out the edges and the separation lines well.

Intensify the crease by applying Concrete into the crease, starting from the outer corner of the eye. Use a firmer round crease brush (Italian badger) and follow the shape of the Rose Brown shadow placed earlier. After that, using a small eyeshadow brush, sweep Gold Silver & Diamonds pigment over the Pearl pigment for a white gold sparkle. Apply Ricepaper as highlight right under the brow bone.

With the eyeshadow done, the last thing you'd wanna do is mess it up with the liner! So, to be on the safe side, line eyes to your desired shape with an eyeliner pencil. Darken the line with a liquid eyeliner pen. If you're daring enough, darken it even more with a liquid liner. For the lower lash line, pencil liner will do. Finish off with mascara and stick on falsies if you wanna.

I kinda didn't walk out of my room the whole time I had the makeup on. Did the look, took some pictures and remove everything. *sighs* I hate not having any fancy events to go to just so I can dress up!

I listed it in the FOTD. sorry

It's from Markwins... actually it's just a pot lipstick then I picked up at the drugstore because it was dirt cheap

and apparently the only pink lipstick that I have.

so, I guess, any shade close to that would do for the look
