My first tutorial (Pretty pic heavy.. sorry!)

[Brelki]

Okay, please be nice.. lol I'm still really working on my eye application techniques, and I finally got the guts to post a tutorial today, so here goes.

For this tutorial, I used the following:

MAC fix +
mark c-thru TM in 1
Clinique airbrush concealer in 1
Clinique superblam lip treatment
Max Factor lash perfection mascara in black
MAC magrittes paint
MAC shooting star MSF
MAC sunbasque blush
MAC blacktrack fluidline
MAC carbon e/s
MAC smolder eye kohl
MAC beta brown lipglass stain
MAC pigments in coco, melon, and shimmer time
Brushes: mark blush brush, mark powder brush, mark blending brush, mark e/l brush, BE e/l brush, small e/s brush (not sure where it's from)

Okay, now for the pics...

Start with a clean face and my hair all pulled back(eek! don't be scared!)

I apply clinique superbalm, Fix+, then my foundation and concealer:

Next, I apply shooting star MSF to my cheeks, and a bit to my forehead, making sure I blend well:

Now, a bit of sunbasque blush to the apples of my cheeks. Afterwards, I blend again with my big powder brush:

Now I apply magrittes paint to my lids:

This is what I look like so far:

I spray my small e/s brush with fix + and apply coco pigment to my eyelid, but not the inner corner or the browbone area:

Next, I clean the brush off, spray it again with fix +, and apply shimmer time pigment to my brow bone, and I apply melon pigment to my inner eye area

Now I blend!!

-- sorry no pic here... lol
Next I line. I start with blacktrack fluidline on the top lid. I make a fairly thick line.

Then I line the inner bottom lid with smolder kohl.

Here's what the eye looks like so far...

Now I apply smolder e/s along the fluidline (and a bit above) and to my lower outer eyelid area...

Now blend again!! (sorry no pic)
I now apply beta brown to my lips, dabbing it on.

Next, I apply MF lash perfection mascara.

I let my hair down, and here's the finished product!!

Since you already have pink undertones in your skin, shooting star msf really brings out the redness in your face and makes your cheeks appear orange. I think that with the Sunbasque is too warm for your complexion. other than that i think your eyes look nice. I like the shadows you chose for your eyes

 

[Brelki]

Thanks for the suggestions femme noir!

 

[xceelynn]

ditto that ^

yay melon pigment!

suggestion (not sure how it will look, but, just a random thought):
shooting star verrrry lightly in the hollows of your cheeks, more as a bronzer and it will bring out your cheekbones I think. then lightly highlighting your cheeks with the coco & melon mixed together? maybe coco highlight and melon on the apples of your cheeks?

(someone tell me if what I'm suggesting is just plain dumb haha)
