For ebonyannette and blazeno, from WoC tutorial request thread.

ah the dreaded barefaced picture!

tut2-1.jpg

apply foundation, using brush or sponge wedges.

tut3-1.jpg

Foundation on! Would have loved to use concealer under the eyes,
but I swear the MA at MAC didn't match me correctly so I don't own one yet.

tut4-1.jpg

Apply eye primer all over up - lids, crease,
browbone, inner corners. I used UDPP.

tut5-1.jpg

Apply NYX Fahrenheit shadow to inner 2/3 of lid up to crease.

tut6-1.jpg

Apply NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in Walnut Pearl on outer 1/3 lid up to crease.

tut7-1.jpg

Apply a dark brown in crease.

tut8-1.jpg

Apply liner. I used a liquid liner and went over it with Blacktrack Fluidline.

tut9-1.jpg

Eyeliner on!

tut10-1.jpg

Apply a tan/neutral shimmery shade to inner corners.

tut11.jpg

Curl lashes and apply mascara.

tut12-1.jpg

Apply browbone highlight. I also took a moment
to fill in my brows if they looked a bit too light.

tut13-1.jpg

Apply bronzer in hollows of cheeks and highlighter on apples.
Blend, blend, blend! Make sure you can't see any "lines."

tut14-1.jpg

Apply lipgloss. I used a mix of clear lipgloss and a sheer red.

Done!

With my new hair.​


Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
NYX Eyeshadow in Fahrenheit
NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in Walnut Pearl
Wet 'n' Wild H2O Proof liquid eyeliner
MAC Blacktrack Fluidline
Wet 'n' Wild eyeshadow in Fine Wink (browbone)
L'Oreal HIP pigment in Tenacious (inner corners)
Maybelline Volum Express Turbo waterproof mascara

Face:
MAC Select Tint foundation in NC45
L'Oreal HIP Vibrant Shimmer Bronzer in Glowing
Victoria's Secret Mosaic shimmer highlighter in Pink

Lips:
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush lipgloss in Oatstanding (red)
American Girl lipgloss in Fruit Punch (clear)

The key to making this look work was to avoid "heavy" looking makeup - eyeshadow colors are pretty and fresh, no eyeliner on lower waterline or mascara on lower lashes, and definitely no powder on the face because it takes away from the glowy dewy look. Hope you enjoyed.

Thanks for posting this! My computer isn't up right now, so I'll probably post my variant on this later on this week or next week sometime.

your bangs look so good on you, and your skin is flawless (i thought the barefaced pic was the finished product at first. ;P)
