Hey lovelies!
This is my very very very first tutorial! I've never made a tutorial of ANY kind before this -- and wow it was time consuming. I had good reason anyhow (being home all day sitting infront of the computer gets boring real fast). I've been inspired by everyone here to play and have fun with make-up.
I had fun making this tutorial, and I hope its alright for you guys! I'm no pro, but I think this tutorial is just showing you guys more on how much fun I'm having with make-up haha.
(sorry for the small pics >_<;; )
Equipment:
(Its pretty much all there except for MAC SF foundation in NC30 and Maybelline's SkyHigh Curls Mascara)
Face/cheeks:
L'oreal True Match Concealer Neutral
MAC Pressed Powder NC20
FANCL Bright & Colorful Viel as a highlight
Physician's Formula Shimmer Strip in Waikiki/Peachy Glow
everyday Minerals B&B Blush
Eyes:
Maybelline's Liquid eyeliner in BLACK
Prestige Waterproof Pencil Liner in black
DarkSoul Pigment
Deckchair Pigment (Small sample jar, ignore the gold jar of pigment dust)
Annabelle Cosmetics Eyeshadow in Carbon
Tony&Tina Universal Eyeshadow Quad (I just used the "ivory" color in there)
Lips:
Anna Sui: SUI Rouge G 301
MAC Clear Lipglass
Brushes were from a Costco Set haha... Its an alright set. I can't wait to get my hands on some MAC or other awesome brushes..
OKAY!
Time to start !
Of course with a BARE and CLEAN face :3
I moisturize my lips with a simple chapstick (yay for lip ice!)
[Note: you can skip this part if you know the whole routine with foundation+concealer+powder--lol but this is how I do it]
Conceal Any Problemt areas
and blend into skin
I used my fingers because its a lot easier for me (plus I don't have a brush :O )
Apply the Foundation
My foundation is MAC Studio Fix in NC30 :O
and blend in with a brush. I find using the brush to paint on foundation works so much better than a sponge...
Powder time XD
to even out the foundation -- I used a big powder brush.
powder down to the jawline just incase there are any noticable lines.
First steps are complete!
Time for the eyes!
I grab my liquid liner and I line just the top part of my eyes with it. I made it thick/bold because I want to make a very bold smokey look later.
You don't have to be neat at this point. and if you make mistakes (I've made plenty) then you can always clean it up
You see? Bold :O I used the liner to fill up to my crease. My eyes are a bit uneven : \ so yeah it looks like crap now lol
IF you're using a fluid line or something, You can smudge it a bit so you can get rid of any harsh lines.
Grab that Carbon eyeshadow and a brush.
Load up the brush with the Carbon:
Apply it over the black liner and a little bit past it like this:
This is what it should look like when finished:
Now, grab the Dark Soul Pigment (this is the fun part
)
You can use the same brush, but I grabbed a smaller brush and loaded it up with Dark Soul.
I applied it right over the black eyeliner and blended it into the carbon just a little bit.
A comparison:
(Right eye has the darksoul and the left doesnt)
see its so much darker
Both my eyes have Darksoul on them now
Okay I was a bit stupid, and it got messy NOT TO WORRY You can always clean it up. (now IF only I had remembered the loose powder under the eyes--yeah that helps a lot and I learned that from the awesome people of specktra
)
CLEAN !
Grab the Deckchair Pigment
and with the eyeshadow brush, apply it to the brow bones and blend into the carbon
yeah !
Line your eyes with a pencil liner
Line the bottom waterline only half way with the black pencil liner
Follow it up with Darksoul on the bottom lid
then I grabbed the nice ivory color from the quad
and applied it to the inner corners of my eyes for a highlight
Finished the eyedshadow
curl the lashes and apply the mascara
(excuse the funny face)
A close up of the eyes:
