A neutral look!

After doing a lot of colourful looks for the Hello Kitty line, I decided it was time to work on some neutral looks. Here's one that I did a couple days ago, I keep forgetting to snap photos!

I'm trying to learn how to accomplish glowy 'hydraluminous' skin, with full coverage. I am used to wearing a very matte finish foundation and I am all for trying new looks, but I've been struggling with getting a solid enough coverage with a wet look finish! If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate to hear them!

Products used:

Skin:
Studio Sculpt Concealer NW15 under eyes
Studio Sculpt Concealer NW15 blended in a sample cup with Strobe Cream, Vanilla Pigment, and some Pearl CCB (To get a good amount of coverage but still look glowy) for my cheeks where I have a little bit of acne scarring
Mineralize Skin Finish Natural powder in Light down t-zone
Vanilla pigment to highlight and set foundation around the outter areas of my face
Blossoming cream blush

Eyes:
Vanilla Pigment blended with Crystal Avalanche e/s all over my eyes
Thin line of Rapidblack Penultimate liner
#34 lash
Zoomblack mascara on bottom lashes

Eyebrows:
I used 3 shades out of the Smoking Eyes pallet from a MAC line a while back. I use Satin Taupe first and draw out the entire shape of my brows, then draw over the bottom line of my brow with Carbon, all with an angled brush. Then I use the #219 brush and a shade close to Brun e/s to blend the black into the Satin Taupe. It gives my eyebrows a little more depth.

Lips:
Clear Lip Conditioner

You're definitely accomplishing your goal! Your skin looks fantastic. I'll have to try a similar mixture for foundation myself.. I just can't get the whole shiny look to appear pretty and not just oily!

Thankyou! It was Jon Hennessy that taught me the 3 tone eyebrow trick, actually!

He is on this site, for anyone who doesn't know who he is:

NOBASURA

he is listed as one of the artists.

Your skin looks amazing, and I'm so jealous that you look so gorgeous with hardly any color on your face. So unfair.
