I wanted to do a video tutorial but the light was bad so I decided to do a picture tutorial. It took me FOREVER and there are soooo many pictures :p

So... This is what I, Zoffe, look like without makeup :p (when I'm tired and have just taken old makeup off
winks.gif
)
1.jpg

Start with GOSH Cosmetics Velvet Touch Foundation Primer... I LOVE this SO much!
2.jpg

Take a little bit on your hand, a little goes a long way...
3.jpg

Try to look as stupid as you can while applying it evenly all over your face
smiles.gif
Remember to put your hair back like I did... It's really flattering for your face :p
4.jpg

Take your foundation... I'm using Maybelline dream matte mousse. I like the foundation but the color is too dark/yellow so I'm looking for a new
smiles.gif

5.jpg

Apply your foundation with your favourite foundation brush. I'm using MAC 190
6.jpg

Next, take your concealer. I don't have any so I'm using a liquid foundation. Biotherm Sense Matte.
7.jpg

Apply it with a brush where needed. I use my MAC 194 brush. Remember to blend it in
smiles.gif

8.jpg

Poooowder! I'm using Maybelline pure powder (just because... Not that I really like it...)
9.jpg

Use a big, fluffy powder brush
smiles.gif
I use Smashbox 3.
10.jpg

Next... Eyeshadow base! I loooove ArtDeco "eyeshadow base"!
11.jpg

I apply it with my fingers but a concealer brush works just as well if you don't want your fingers in the product :p This base needs to set/dry for a few minutes before applying your eyeshadow...
12.jpg

Lip balm!! Hydrate your lips while your waiting
smiles.gif

13.jpg

White eyeshadow! I use MAC Gesso. I use a se213 brush. I would have used my 239 but it needs to be cleaned after playing with blaaack shadow.
14.jpg

Apply it on your inner corners and on your browbone. It's hard to see in the picture so I drew an outline :p
15.jpg

Next is a light, blue, shimmery eyeshadow. I use GOSH "spa" effect powder. Fall in love with the color :p I'm using a random, small eyeshadow brush.
16.jpg

And I apply it where I didn't apply Gesso.
17.jpg

Next is a dark blue eyeshadow. I use GOSH "7th heaven" efect powder and I use it wet(with home made mixing medium**... Works wonders
smiles.gif
). I dip my brush in my mixing medium and mix it with some shadow in the eyeshadow lid. Use a small crease brush for this.
18.jpg

Apply the dark blue in your crease and you'll look something like this(kinda scarry :p ):
19.jpg

Go back to the dark blue eyeshadow but use it dry this time. I used the same brush as I applyed the light blue with.
20.jpg

Wait until the wet shadow from before is (almost) dry and apply some more dry on top. This time blending it into the lighter blue. See the difference?
21.jpg

I apply a bit more "Spa" because you don't think it's bright enough and just because you love the color :p
22.jpg

Next, take an even darker blue eyeshadow. I used MAC Flashtrack with a se213 brush(again because my 239 is dirrrrrtyyy).
23.jpg

Apply it to the outter corner and blend it in
smiles.gif
You want to add some depth but you don't want the dark shadow to be too obvious.
24.jpg

Take your MAC "Frostlite" fluidline or any eyeshadow with a similar color. I used a small eyeshadow brush.
25.jpg

Apply it to your inner eye and on the inner 1/3-1/4 of your lower lashline... You'll look more awake which is awesome
greengrin.gif

26.jpg

Take a greeeeen eyeshadow! Like GOSH "Kiwi" effect powder. Use it wet (mixing medium**) for more intensity. Use a liner brush like the MAC 266.
27.jpg

And apply it to your lower lashline where you didn't use Frostlite.
28.jpg

Purrrrple eyeliner. Go with Macroviolet f/l and a small eyeliner brush (this one is by GOSH)
29.jpg

Apply it to your waterline. Make a wing(that you won't see later... So... Don't wing it :p ) and decide that a brighter purple would have been better. Be too lazy to do something about it and leave it like this:
30.jpg

Blaaack eyeliner! Use whatever you like the most. I use MAC Blacktrack f/l because it's easy, lasts and looks good :p Best liner I've tried
smiles.gif
Use the same brush as before (or an angeled liner brush if you prefer...)
31.jpg

Liiine your upper lashline... Try to make it thin but end up making it thicker because you always do :p
32.jpg

Wing the liner. It should look like this (not the shadow, it looks weird in this pic xD )
33.jpg

Time for broooows. Use an eyeshadow close to your haircolor (a bit darker if you have light hair and a bit lighter if you have dark hair). I use this dark reddish brown from my GOSH "Goldfinger" quad
34.jpg

Use an angled brush to fill those brows :p
35.jpg

Contouring! MAC "Emote" blush. Use a matte(!!!) blush a bit darker than your skintone.
36.jpg

Use an contour brush (like an angled blush brush), make a fish face to find where you want the contour to be (under your cheekbones) and apply like this:
37.jpg

Find your favorite blush. This isn't really a blush and it isn't really my favourite but it looks nice and it's like blush and highlight in one: MAC "Northern Light" MSF
smiles.gif

38.jpg

Using a blush brush apply it to the apples of your cheaks blending up-/outwards (like opposite of what you just did with the contour). It'll look like this:
Find all the lip products you're going to use. Nude lipliner (Rimmel "018 Addiction"), Lipgloss (MAC "Lightswitch" 3D Glass) and lip brush (MAC 316)
41.jpg

Whipe off excess lip balm from earlier. Apply lipliner and blend it in with your finger... You don't want those porn star lips, do you? :p You can use the lipbrush to blend the liner as well...
40.jpg

Apply gloss and it'll look like this:
42.jpg

Find your favourite mascara... (which IS Diorshow... It has to be :p )
43.jpg


Apply... And your done!

Reward yourself with a piece of chocolate, take a stupid picture of yourself eating it but delete it by accident when uploading the pictures /:

Make an emo face??
done5.jpg


Or a snob face??
done3.jpg


Naah, just be yourself
