Alright, this is my first tutorial. Just got some new swag and thought I'd try it out. My makeup isn't MAC, hope that's OK, it's just your regular drug store variety. So here goes nuthin. The look, the makeup:
Start with your freshly scrubbed, non-makeup wearing, fully moisturized, semi-frightening face. The hair knob on top of the head is optional.
Dab some Revlon Skinlights (01 Natural Light) around your face and blend, I used a sponge.
Apply foundation, I used Covergirl TruBlend whipped foundation (410 Classic Ivory) mixed with a little moisturizer (or else I find it too thick). Blend, I used my fingertips again.
Apply concealer - Covergirl fresh complexion in classic ivory. Blend! Again, fingers. I'm a finger blender girl. Some point along the way I also put some lip balm on.
Ok, let's start on the eyes. I've put some loose powder under them to catch any eyeshadow that falls off. Start by sweeping a peachy coral colour over your entire eyelid.
Use the lighter purple colour and apply it to the lid only.
Use the darker purple colour in a V shape at the outer corner of the eyes, extending slightly into the crease.
Blend together with a neutral beige-y shade. And take that crap off from under your eyes too.
Use a dark purple/burgundy eyeliner across your top lashes. I used Covergirl perfect point plus in plum velvet. I love these eyeliners because they don't need sharpening. Curl the lashes, and apply mascara. I used Covergirl fantastic lash.
I've put a little bit of the darker purple that was used for the V shape on the eyelids underneath the lower lashes as well. Ta da! The eyes are done.
Apply a bronzing powder on the cheeks, forehead and a tiny bit on the chin and nose. Don't overdo it or you'll be too orange. I used L'oreal bronzing powder in enchanting sunrise.
Using a duo-tone blush set (such as Annabelle "immortal coral"), apply the darker shade in the hollow of your cheeks and the lighter shade on the apples, across the nose, and a little bit on the chin.
Lastly, apply some lip gloss! I like neutral lips... but because the eyes aren't really that dark and dramatic I think it'd be OK to use more colour too. I used Covergirl smoothwear liptints in "hint of honey" - I LOVE these lipglosses.
And there you have it! Nothing fancy really, but it's pretty enough for day or night, and I think the purple shadow looks really great with green eyes.
Enjoy!
