This is my first tutorial so please be gentle….however, any CC is very welcome!

Here are my supplies. Many are interchangeable!
UD Deluxe Palette – Peace and Zero e/s
MAC Sharkskin Shadestick
MAC Ricepaper e/s
Too Faced Shadow Insurance (or UDPP)
MAC Flusterose Lustreglass
Bronzer, blush, concealor, mascara, eyelash curler, foundation and brushes of your choice!

Start with an equally frightening yet moisturized face

Apply e/s primer to lids with your finger.

Next apply Sharkskin to your lid, you can do it in any shape that suits you…wing it out if you want. I use the sharkskin because you can literally shape your whole eye look early on this way. Its like the lines you color inside

As you can see I did it a little uneven, but no biggie...just clean it up with a q-tip.

Now take your brush and load it with Peace. Apply it to your inner corner and then along the top of the lid and out to the corner. Leave some room for Zero in the lower corner.

Should look like this...

and this from the side...

Now load your crease brush (I use MAC 219) with Zero and apply the room you have left.

Should look like this unblended.

Next blend the black and blue together and it will look like this.

DSC_0376.jpg


Now load up your blending brush with Ricepaper and brush it over the top of Peace to blend the color so there is not a harsh line. I also use it to even out my super dark brown lids :p

Here you can see where I did it on my left eye (your right)

Now dab some concealor on with your fingertips...I need about 3 coats to make myself look semi awake :p

This is how it looks so far.

Now take the Sharkskin and line your bottom lashes. You can do this ahead of time when applying it to your lids if you like. You can also use whatever black liner you want instead if Sharkskin isnt dark enough.

And now it looks like this.

DSC_0392.jpg


Now curl your lashes...

DSC_0393.jpg


And apply mascara. At this point most people would do brows but mine are in a growing out phase and I have no idea what to do with them so my apologies.

DSC_0403.jpg


Next apply your foundation...I mix mine with water or moisturizer to thin it out a little and give lighter coverage.

DSC_0405.jpg


Now take your MAC 187 and apply some bronzer.

DSC_0406.jpg


Then get some shimmery blush and apply it on top.

DSC_0407-1.jpg


Should look nice and glowy like this.

DSC_0410.jpg


Now smear on some lip balm. Then apply your MAC Flusterose. I didnt show this step because I just slop it on...not a talented lip person!

DSC_0421.jpg


And here is the end result...a wee bit nicer than the before pic
