Hello!
I did this one butterfly look a couple of months ago and a lot of you seemed to like it and someone requested a tutorial as well.
Here's the FOTD thread :
http://specktra.net/f166/butterfly-96366/#post1103227
and the look from last time :
So today I decided to do the same look and try my hand at a tutorial while at it.
I dont know much about tutorials, but ive tried to learn alot from the lovely ladies on Specktra
This is the same look with just a few differences
Here goes
-------------------
This is the look we are trying to achieve.
Start with picking out a temporary tattoo:
I bought this leaf years ago, just because it was pretty
now im putting it to use
Clean Face:
Ack!!
Your Primer, Concealer and Eye Shadow Primer
Im using :
MAC Prep + Prime
Benefit Lemonaid
UDPP
Thats better!
I clearly needed something for those dark circles!
Take MAC Chrome Yellow and apply it over your entire lid
Doesnt have to be neat
Look like Big Bird yet?
Now take MAC Bitter
and apply it on half the lid till the outer corner of the eyes
Your MAC Chartreuse Pigment [Thank you Cheryl!]
Apply it over Bitter
Now take Urban Decay Sting [Love it!]
Into the crease, down towards the inner corner and back towards the outer corner
Blend Blend Blend!
Your MAC Vanilla
and Revlon Diamond Lust in 630 Pillow Talk Pink
Apply both to the browbone
Now take your tattoo and cut into as close to the shape as you can so its easier for you to apply
Stick it into position
Take a wet cotton pad
and damp onto the tattoo slowly
Hold the tattoo in place for a while and peel the cover off
Ta-dah!
Now you might have a little problem with the tattoo being over the eyelid, not letting you fully open your eye.
You might want to make a slit in the tattoo before you place it.
I made a slit after I applied the tattoo, but that can be extremely dangerous
Now take any black liner. Im using L'oreal Telescopic.
Dont make the line too elborate, you want to focus on the tattoo design
There you go! [To the eye with the tattoo, apply the liner only halfway, dont go over the tattoo]
Now, the Glitter liner
Im using Urban Decay Heavy Metal in "Metalhead"
The eye without the tattoo
Apply the glitter above the black line from the inner corner and as you reach the outer corner, make it thicker.
The tattoo eye
From the inner corner till the beginning of the tattoo and you can also apply the glitter to the area behind the wings, over the pink.
Kohl liner and Foundation time!
im using a Revlon liner [almost over
]
Apply it to the waterline
L'oreal True Match in Sandy Beige, I think.
Much better!
Totally forgot! Take MAc Fuschia pigment and with a wet liner brush apply it to the under eye area
Mascara
MAC Plush Lash of course!
Im not using fake lashes this time.
But you can apply them
Now take your MAC Fafi blush in Fashion Frenzy
and apply it to the apple of your cheeks
Poser!
Your MAC blush in Pinch Me on the sides.
Blurry pic, sorry
MAC Iridescent Powder in Silver Dusk
[If you dont have it, you should buy it! BEST product ever]
and apply it wherever light hits your face naturally, cheeks, nose...
Im using flash by now cause its so dark outside
Thank you clouds!
Use a Kabuki brush and blend blend blend.
Finally! MAC Fafi lipglass in Sugar Trance and any clear lip balm/gloss to the lips
There we have it!
Being sexy!
I lost twenty pounds over the summer
and heres the little dog that watches me play with my make up
Thank you all very much for watching!
