Finally another tutorial from me! Since this one got so many replies and also some people asking for a tutorial, I decided to do it again step by step.

http://specktra.net/showthread.php?t=50819


This is the final look we're going for. Unfortunately the flash washed out the colours a bit and I didn't get any more good final shots, but it really looked almost like the FOTD I posted.

Daytime lighting:

These are all the products you will need.

Note: The Rimmel lipgloss is a perfect match to MAC Wonderstruck Lustreglass, and the highlighter mix I used is a mix of various MAC pigments (White, Goldenaire, Tan, Melon, Fairlite), and also the #187 brush is not pictured

So here I start with my face already prepped with strobe cream, foundation and concealer. Since most people are already set in their ways with that routine, I decided to skip documenting that and just go ahead with the fun part.

Here I start with a plain face.
step-1.jpg


I apply a dollop of Stilife paint on the back of my hand
step-2.jpg


Apply to my whole eye area from lashline to browline using my fingers.
step-3.jpg


I pat on some loose powder under my eyes to catch any fall-out from the pigments and eyeshadow. Then I add the highlight just underneath the brow area using a small lid brush.
step-4.jpg


Then I add Goldenaire pigment...
step-5.jpg


and Melon pigment...
step-6.jpg


And finally Jest e/s! Blend everything together seamlessly, I use the same lid brush or sometimes I use the #222.
step-7.jpg


Apply brown pencil eyeliner around your eyes, it can be rather thick. Try to stick close to the lashline though.
step-8.jpg


Soften the harsh line with a smudge tool, mine has a smudger on the end of the pencil.
step-9.jpg


Then, add a bit of black eyekohl close to the lashline, concentrating on the outer eye, top and bottom lashes of course.
step-10.jpg


Again, blend it all together with the smudger. There should be no harsh lines.
step-11.jpg


It should look like this.
step-11b.jpg


With the #272 brush, I use the flat tip of the brush to pack on Much e/s overtop of the eyeliner part. The e/s should cover all the black & brown eyeliner.
step-12.jpg


Then I use the side of the brush to blend the Mulch together with the other colours, using the windshield-wiper technique.
step-13.jpg


Curl your eyelashes, apply mascara, and use the brow kit to groom and fill in your eyebrows. This should be the finished eye look.
step-14.jpg

step-14b.jpg




Next, I use my #182 kabuki brush to buff the Bronze CCB around my cheek area, and also on the bridge of my nose, forehead, and a bit on the chin.
step-15.jpg


Apply the Nars Orgasm blush with the #187 brush. I apply it on my cheekbones...
step-16.jpg


...and on the apples.
step-17.jpg


Then I buff everything together with the #182 again to give that flawless finish. I love this brush so much!!!
step-18.jpg


Final step, apply a coat of clear lipglass, and a dab of Wonderstruck lustreglass on top.
step-19.jpg


And we're done!

I think the only difference between this recreated look and my original FOTD is that I used more Goldenaire pigment and no Melon, as far as I can remember.

Beautiful! I have most of the products you used so I'm going to have to try this. Which Rimmel gloss did you use?

Lovely.

I just have a question about the loose powder under eye. I know a lot of people do this, so I guess it works well. But I'm wondering if you use a brush to wipe it away, or just a tissue. I imagine with my luck, while wiping it off I would end up smearing the e/s just above it or some other catastrophe!

I use a large powder brush. Not the kabuki because I think it would absorb the powder, but a cheap drugstore one.




Also, about the Rimmel lipgloss, I can't remember what it's called because the name isn't on the tube, but I think it is Rimmel Vinyl Stars Sun Kissed....or Star Kissed. Something like that. It's a perfect match to MAC Wonderstruck l/g though.

Hmm I'm not sure what is similar since I don't have a lot of pinks. Maybe a bit of Sushi Flower e/s over Vanilla pigment?
