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

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

I moisturize my lips with a simple chapstick (yay for lip ice!)
Step1_chapstick.jpg


[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
Step1_Concealerrr.jpg

and blend into skin

Step1_concealerblend.jpg

I used my fingers because its a lot easier for me (plus I don't have a brush :O )

Apply the Foundation
Step1_Foundation.jpg

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
Step1_Powder.jpg

to even out the foundation -- I used a big powder brush.
Step1_powder2.jpg

powder down to the jawline just incase there are any noticable lines.


First steps are complete!
step1_complete.jpg




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.
Step2_Liquidliner.jpg

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

Step2_LEcomplete2.jpg

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
Step2_LEcomplete.jpg


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.
Step3_Carbon.jpg

Load up the brush with the Carbon:
Step3_CarbonBrush.jpg

Step3_carbonEyE.jpg

Apply it over the black liner and a little bit past it like this:
Step3_comparison.jpg

This is what it should look like when finished:
Step3_carbonComplete.jpg


Now, grab the Dark Soul Pigment (this is the fun part
greengrin.gif
)
Step4_DARKSOUL.jpg

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.
Step4_DarkSoulBrush.jpg

A comparison:
(Right eye has the darksoul and the left doesnt)
Step4_comparison.jpg

see its so much darker
greengrin.gif

Step4_Eyesclosed.jpg

Both my eyes have Darksoul on them now

Step4_completeBUTMessy.jpg

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
greengrin.gif
)
Step4_cleanup.jpg

CLEAN !
Step4_cleaned.jpg


Grab the Deckchair Pigment
Step5_blending.jpg

and with the eyeshadow brush, apply it to the brow bones and blend into the carbon
Step5_BlendDeckchair.jpg

yeah !

Line your eyes with a pencil liner
Step6_Eyeliner.jpg

Line the bottom waterline only half way with the black pencil liner
Follow it up with Darksoul on the bottom lid
Step6_EyelinewithDS.jpg


then I grabbed the nice ivory color from the quad
Step6_Highlightcolor.jpg

and applied it to the inner corners of my eyes for a highlight
Step6_eyehighlight.jpg

Anna Sui's lipsticks come in a cool rose shape container, AND it smells like roses.

The costco brushes are alright. So far the Eyeshadow brushes are pretty good, but the powder brush, blush brush, and bronzer brush sometimes irritates my skin. I really don't like the bronzer brush that comes with it.
but for what I paid for the set (~$20CAD) theres a lot of brushes to play with!
