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.

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.
I apply a dollop of Stilife paint on the back of my hand
Apply to my whole eye area from lashline to browline using my fingers.
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.
Then I add Goldenaire pigment...
and Melon pigment...
And finally Jest e/s! Blend everything together seamlessly, I use the same lid brush or sometimes I use the #222.
Apply brown pencil eyeliner around your eyes, it can be rather thick. Try to stick close to the lashline though.
Soften the harsh line with a smudge tool, mine has a smudger on the end of the pencil.
Then, add a bit of black eyekohl close to the lashline, concentrating on the outer eye, top and bottom lashes of course.
Again, blend it all together with the smudger. There should be no harsh lines.
It should look like this.
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.
Then I use the side of the brush to blend the Mulch together with the other colours, using the windshield-wiper technique.
Curl your eyelashes, apply mascara, and use the brow kit to groom and fill in your eyebrows. This should be the finished eye look.
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.
Apply the Nars Orgasm blush with the #187 brush. I apply it on my cheekbones...
...and on the apples.
Then I buff everything together with the #182 again to give that flawless finish. I love this brush so much!!!
Final step, apply a coat of clear lipglass, and a dab of Wonderstruck lustreglass on top.
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.
