Hello, ladies! This is my first tutorial. Let me say, this tutorial making process is harder than you think! Very time consuming, haha. Good thing this wasn't a very hard look to do, otherwise I'd be up forever. Anyway, I always wanted to try one of these, & well, I was bored today so I figured I would give it a try. I had just gotten out of the shower & I put my hair up. (So excuse the scary hair in the first 1/2 of these pics!) I am one of those people that you're like, "Damn...she looks SCARY without makeup..." hahaha! But hey, what can you do. Enough pointless rambling, on we go!
these are the items i used:
prep+prime eye in medium
bare canvas paint
shell ccb
filament e/s
beauty marked e/s
nocturnelle e/s
CG great lash mascara
blacktrack f/l
studio fix fluid in NC25
select moisturecover in NC20
MAC brushes 190, 224, 217, 208
maybe this tutorial thing wasn't a good idea..i don't want to show my BARE FACE!!!
okay fine; if i HAVE to. (EEEEEK!) yes, my skin
pretty much hates me right now.
take some prep+prime, about this much:
apply all over eyelids, like so: (oops, blurry pic!)
you really won't look any different. all the primer does it kinda even out the skin color & "prep" the eye for the eye makeup. next, take some bare canvas paint (or base of your choice), about this much:
apply just like you did the primer, all over your eyelids
again, you probably won't look much different. it's a very
neutral colored paint.
next, take some shell CCB and apply it to browbone, like so:
now for the color!
with your 224 brush, pick up some filament e/s
apply all over eyelids
including the browbone area!
won't be TOO much of a difference, just a little sparkle noticeable with some color
with the same brush you used for filament, pick up some beauty marked e/s. apply only to the lower half of your eyelid. blend as well as you can, it doesn't have to be perfect.

it will turn out something like this. keep in mind beauty marked looks different on people with different skin tones than me! haha i think it looks so pretty on some people. on me, it's just kinda "meh" don't worry if it's a little messy at this point, you can clean it up later.
with your 217 brush, pick up some nocturnelle e/s and blend around beauty marked.
next, apply some more nocturnelle, only this time blend into your crease as well.
it will more or less turn out like this. it doesn't look too great here, but later on it will..
pick up your fave mascara tube (this isn't my fave, my MAC zoomlash is MIA
) apply it to your lashes, i'm sure most of you know how to do this, but here's a picture anyway! haha
here we are after mascara is applied to both eyes. if it clumps a little bit, just use a lash seperator to get rid of that.
next, get your 208 angled brush and swipe some fluidline on it.
apply blacktrack onto your waterline (or wherever you like lining) i pull my eyelid a tiny bit down so i can line it okay. btw, i know i have a little bit of black on my lower lashline, i was trying some eyeliner out before getting in the shower and i didn't get all the way off
it'll look something like this. don't worry if you smudged a little bit, that happens to me a lot lately since my eyes get really watery fast during allergy seasons!
before starting face makeup, remove all shadow fall out or smudged liner, etc. with a baby wipe, or whatever you like.
i like doing my face makeup last for the most part. pour a little bit of studio fix fluid onto your hand like so. use as much as you'd like, but this is how much i use, more or less.
YAY! i can finally cover up some of the scary-ness. take your 190 brush and pick up some of your SFF off your hand. next, just swipe some on your face, then blend it all together as best as possible. remember not to miss any spots, as you don't want your foundation to look weird! i just realized, this pic looks like i have a weird tan on my neck. LMAO..
here we are, finished with foundation.
get your select moisturecover and dot some onto your face, in whatever areas you wish to... well, conceal.
i just use my foundation brush to blend my concealer as well, but some people like to use different brushes for each product.
OMG, we're practically done!
the mandatory lame face. always needed!
i have some chapstick on. for the lips, just apply some shell CCB over your chapstick or lip primer/whatever. if your hair is up, let it loose! haha. i look MUCH better now. the reason i put it in a bun after i get out of the shower is because it gets MAD curly (the scary kind) so when i put it in a bun for a little while, then let it loose, it looks a lot nicer. not as scary.. hahaha
here we go. see how pretty it looks in these pics?
if you see a little bit of e/s on your brows or around them, just clean them up a tiny bit.
kind of a closed eye picture. i know the e/s looks creased here, but it's not. it's 'cause i can never get my eyes to relax when i wanna take pictures like this.
thumbs up for giving this a try
! haha, let me tell you..this takes some serious balls. especially posting those naked face pics. AHHH!
now finish getting dressed, and go out and have some fun! here's a kiss for all my fellow specktra ladies
and we're DONE!!
