I'm a HUGE fan of Garbage, so when I saw this video I knew I had to try the make-up style. The picture I'm working from is about 2:35 into the video.
Enjoy!
Here's what I used (all MAC unless noted)
Eyes:
Blackground Paint Pot
Carbon e/s
Silver Ring e/s
Luna ccb
Feline p/k
Face:
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
Mineralize Foundation NC15
Pearl Blossom b/p
Studio Concealer NC15
Natural MSF Light
(Dermablend Creme in Light Ivory was used on my neck and jawline, then set with Studiofix Foundation NC15... not shown in tutorial)
Lips:
Smashbox Palm Beach lip liner
Cosmo l/s
(and Chanel Black Satin is on my nails, btw)
Image I'll be working from:
Start out with a primed face:
Use about two pumps to have enough foundation to dot face:
Blend using a "skunk brush" (I find they're the best for Mineralize foundation):
Use a concealer brush to pick up concealer and dot onto any skin irregularities:
Pick the "skunk brush" up again, don't add foundation, and blend the concealer:
Use a kabuki brush to lightly pat on some Light MSF Natural:
(v I look stupid >.< v)
Pick up some Light MSF using a fluffy e/s brush and pat this around the under eye area:
Using a synthetic, flat e/s brush (synthetic b/c it helps the paint spread best), slick Blackground onto the brush and apply to the lids of the eyes:
Now, wing out the eyeliner so it's approximately parallel (in length) to eyebrows:
Use brush to make sure the wings are even:
Pick up some Carbon e/s with a pencil/smudge brush to lightly go over the Blackground, making sure to blend into lashline and define wings:
Use another pencil brush to pick up Silver Ring e/s and use to highlight inner corners of eyes, smudging into the blacker e/s:
Use Feline p/k to line upper lashline (heavier in center, but do go out to the wings with a lighter touch) and water line:
Use Blackground to smudge up the bottom, and also the top a little:
Use ring finger (b/c it has the lightest touch) to pat on Luna ccb; apply to browbone area, and up to eyebrowns. Using the edge of your finger, try to have it edge with the blacker e/s:
Use a blush brush to dust on Pearl Blossom b/p along the cheekbones:
Apply lipliner (Palm Beach) and lipstick (Cosmo):
Voila!!! I used Fix+ in the last two pics because it gave the cool "wet" effect that Shirley Manson has in the video. I hope this was useful <3
Enjoy!
