With all this cold weather upon us, I decided to make a tutorial on one of my FAVE summer looks! (Only a couple months away, right?!!) So here goes Tutorial Part Deux....
Start with a CLEAN FACE!
First, I started with putting MAC Oil Control Lotion over the entire face.
Apply with fingers, in circular motion.
Next, I dabbed a bit of Smashbox Photo Finish on my cheeks, under my eyes, and on my forehead.
Again, apply in circular motion.
Because I have excema(sp) I put Maybelline color corrector on my cheeks, aside my nose, and over a scar I have, to get rid of redness.
(I'm a monster! ahhhh)
Next, I applied Select SPF 15 in NC 37 all over the face, down to the collar bone, with MAC's 190SE brush.
Concealor comes next. I put a little bit of MAC select cover-up in NC 30 under my eyes, above my eyes, a little on my cheeks, and on my lips, with MAC's 242SE brush.
This is how scary I look! I look like a corpse.....eep!
Then I apply MAC Studio Fix Powder in NC 40 with MAC's 134 brush all over the face and neck for even coverage.
Eyebrows. I apply MAC's Brow Shader in Buttery/Blonde Taupe over the entire eyebrow, giving a nice arch and shape. I use a smashbox liner brush for this.
This is what it should look like so far....
Then, I apply a dab of Bare Canvas paint on each eye and blend with my fingertip.
Now for Color!
I put a little Aquadisiac on my inner corner and lid. Don't put too much, this is just to get the color started!
Next, I added Electric Eel to the center of the lid and a little above, with Smashbox #26 brush. Apply a decent amount of this, but do NOT blend yet!
This is how it should loook....
Finally, I put Blue Storm on the outer crease and lid, with Sephora's blending brush. This adds the darkness that gives the eye depth and shape.
Now, using MAC's 224SE brush, I blended all the colors together. I added a little more Electric Eel to the middle for a brighter effect.
Next, Liner. Apply a small amount of MAC's Blacktrack Fluidline to the line of the eye, and wing outward. Try not to put TOO much on, so you do not take away from the color and blending technique.
Apply a small amount of Electric Eel underneath the eye, for a smoky/bluuuuue effect. I used a sephora liner/brow brush.
Now, apply fluidline under the eye.
Apply Smashbox's Bronzer/Contour to the cheekbones, sides of the nose, temples, chin, and jawline. This will minimize double-chins, and give you a sun-kissed look! I use a kabuki brush for this: it blends well
Then, With any standard blush brush, apply Revlon's Golden Affair #435 to the apples of the cheek, drawing upward toward the hairline. Apply on temples, aside nose, and under chin.
You're looking TANNER already!
Now, for the sun-kissed GLOWING look, apply a small amount of L'Oreal Glam Bronze right under the eyes/above the cheek bones, on the temples, and on the nose going upward toward the forehead. This will definitely highlight your bone structure, and give you the "just-came-from-the-beach" look we all want this time of year! ( atleast us on the East coast!
)
To finish the eyes, first, curl baby, curl!
Then, apply a decent amount of Maybelline New York Intense XXL mascara in Very Black to the upper and lower lashes.
Now, apply MAC's lip pencil in Spice. Make sure to make the line thin, and natural looking.
Using smashbox's Perfect Pout pallet, apply over the entire lip.
We're done! GO out there and let everyone be jealous of your sun-kissed cheeks and sultry lips
