*whooo* let's see if I can get this all put together right
rofl.gif



here's what we're trying to achieve:


00whatweregoingforandtheendresult.jpg





and here's what we need to do it:

00ingredients.jpg


SK Smudge brush
EoB crease brush
SK small e/s brush
SK medium e/s brush
some art store fine-tipped lining brush
EoB powder brush
EoB blush brush
EoB blender brush (that would be the weird smallish one next to the blush brush)
eyelash curler

MAC Beige-ing shadestick
MAC pigments in Vanilla, Electric Coral, and Deep Purple
MAC Blacktrack fluidline
Maybelline XXL WP mascara

Tropez Natural Nude l/l
SK Happy Go Lucky l/g

EM semi-matte foundation in Fair
EM multi-tasking concealer




okay now that that's out of the way...here's the obligatory terrible nekkid picture of my face!

now you know why I wear makeup!

Why I do my eye makeup before my foundation...

I know it seems really backwards (and if you're anything like me, you see the naked skin and have a terrible urge to cover it in foundation ASAP) but I find that I make a big mess on my cheeks with my eye makeup, and if I'm already wearing foundation I'll just have to end up redoing it. I know some people hold tissues and stuff under their eyes but that's too much of a pain for me so I just get all the messy eye makeup done, clean up the fallout with a baby wipe, and then go ahead with the foundation!

whatever works for you, but this is what works for me

ANYWAY!



first I apply the shadestick to my lid as a base...I use this sometimes, and UDPP sometimes, depending on which one I find first (and whether I'm doing a matte eye look - shimmery base doesn't work well for that)

02shadestick.jpg





next (no real pic of this), I put a little water or mixing medium (either works fine IMO) on the back of my hand. I take my SK small e/s brush and wet it in the water so it's *just* damp, not drippy. Then I dip it in the Electric Coral pigment, getting this

03brushwithelectriccoral.jpg





then I *pat* it onto the lid...rewetting and redipping if needed


04applyelectriccoral.jpg






all applied, it looks like this

05electiccoralonlid.jpg




then do the same thing to the other eye!


after you get the color on the lids, take the SK smudge brush and dampen it and dip it in the Electric Coral, and apply to the lower lashline

06applyelectriccorallowerlashline.jpg





then do the same to the other eye!

after that, take the SK medium e/s brush and apply Vanilla pigment (dry) from the crease to the brow...I do my highlight like this so that the dark pigment (coming up) is easier to blend and sheer out
lol.gif

ditto on the other eye!

then take the EoB crease brush, dip it (dry) in the Deep Purple pigment (just a tiny bit!) and draw it into the crease

08applydeeppurpleincrease.jpg





ditto on the other eye!

then take the SK medium e/s brush again and blend the line up and slightly out

09blenddeeppurpleincrease.jpg






ditto on other eye!

then take the SK smudge brush again and dip it (dry) in the Deep Purple, and apply to the outer 1/3 of lower lashline

10applydeeppurplelowerlashline.jpg




ditto on other eye!

then take the SK medium e/s brush again and soften the edge a bit, and blend it into the Electric Coral where they meet

11blenddeeppurplelowerlashline.jpg






ditto on other eye!

and here's how it should look so far

12theeyesofar.jpg





okay!
lol.gif
now use the SK smudge brush and pick up a bit of Vanilla pigment (dry) and apply to the inner corner of the eye

13applyvanillainnercorner.jpg





ditto on other eye.

now take some liner brush (mine's an art store brush, use whatever fine-lining brush you have) and dip it in the blacktrack and apply to the upper lashline. I like to start in the middle of the lid and go to the outer corner, then go from the inner corner to the middle 8)

14applyblacktrackupperlashline.jpg




ditto on other eye.

now use the same brush to line the rims

15applyblacktrackrims.jpg






ditto for other eye.

how the eyes should look so far

now do your foundation, however it is you do it! here's mine (EM semi-matte mineral foundation in Fair) I apply with the EoB powder brush.

17applyfoundationpowder.jpg






and here's my concealer, with my funny little EoB blender brush

18applyconcealerpowder.jpg





now curl your lashes (it makes a huge difference!). Clamp down (lightly) in about five different places along the lash, it'll make a more natural and even curve than if you only clamp in one or two spots.

19curllashes.jpg





and mascara!

20applyXXLmascara.jpg





now use the blush brush to apply Electric Coral pigment to your cheeks as blush

21applyelectriccoralasblush.jpg






now apply the Tropez Natural Nude l/l to your lips

22applynaturalnudelipliner.jpg






now the SK Happy Go Lucky l/g! I wish all lipglosses had brushes like this, instead of those dumb doe-foot applicators...

23applyhappygoluckylipgloss.jpg






aaaaaanddd TAADAAAA! we're all done!

This is gorgeous and it is just the tutorial I have been looking for. I have such a hard time blending the crease color sometimes, and using the highlight all over makes total sense! Thanks! Also, I am in love with your foundation...
