This is my first tutorial on here so I don't know if I did well. Anyways, here you guys go...

Things you need:
- Eyeshadow base (UDPP)
- Benefit highbrow(optional)
- Corn shadestick
- Gold Dusk pigment
- Eyeshadows: Espresso, Goldmine, Amberlights, Shroom, Suspicion, Blacktied
- Blacktrack f/l
- Mascara
- Foundation, Powder & Bronzer
- Creamkiss c/l
- VGVI
- Springbean l/g
- Blush: Peachtwist
- Tools: 213, 266, 224, 205, 316, 129, 187 & a unknown fluff brush & powder brush

Start with a fresh face. Yeah, this is ugly. I'm all tired & crap. =P

Fill in your brows. I used Espresso for this.

Add your e/s base & blend it with fingers
3.jpg


After I add Benefit Highbrow. This is optional.
4.jpg


Now get some Shroom e/s & apply to your browbone
5.jpg


Then apply Corn shadestick to your lids only.
7.jpg


After apply Gold Dusk over Corn s/s
9.jpg


It should look like this now.
10.jpg


Now apply Goldmine to the inner lid w/ the 213
11.jpg


And now apply Amberlights to outer lid w/ the 213
34.jpg


It should look like this
12.jpg


Now pick up more Amberlights w/ the 224 & blend it between the middle of the lid & into the crease. I do it in sorta a windshield wiper motion & in small circles
13.jpg


It should look like this now.
14.jpg


Now take the 224 again & get some Suspicion & put it on your outer v & blend.
15.jpg


Then I take 224 again & get some Black Tied & put it over Suspicion to darken it more. Again, blend. =)
17.jpg


It'll look like this now...
18.jpg


Line the top lashline & waterline.
19.jpg


Curl your lashes.
20.jpg


Now I take the 205 brush & get some mascara on it. I paint my lashes instead of using a regular mascara brush. It separates the lashes instead of clumping them.
21.jpg


It'll look like this now.
22.jpg


Apply your foundation. I take some SFF w/ my 187 & apply it on my face while making a funny face.
23.jpg


After the foundation.
24.jpg


Now take your 224 to apply bronzer to contour your face. Make the fishy face so you can apply it to the hollows of your cheeks. Like this...
25.jpg


Now apply Peachtwist blush on your cheeks.
26.jpg


Line your lips with Creamkiss c/l
28.jpg


Fill with VGVI l/g
29.jpg


Finish your lips off with Springbean l/g
30.jpg


Since my cheeks look real bright, I lighten it by getting my Flirt skunk brush & blending it to make it softer.
31.jpg


Finish off with your powder. I used Medium Dark blot powder.
32.jpg


Then take a picture of yourself & post it on Specktra!

I'm not sure what hair it's made out of. the 205 isn't even on the website. Try searching in specktra for it because I know there's a thread somewhere.

You did an awesome job! It's so funny because this looks so much like my signature every day look! I use Goldmine on the lid, Romp & Espresso in the crease, Black Tied on the outer corners & Nylon or Dazzlelight to highlight. It looks just like yours but just the crease is darker. And has anyone ever told you that you look like Cheryl from Dancing With The Stars? You're so cute! Thanks so much for posting this! Okay, I'm done rambling now.....

Thank you!!! I want to see your everyday look! =] Oh man, you're like the 10th person to tell me I look like Cheryl. The first was my bf's mom. Then my bf saw her on Suite Life of Zack & Cody & he's all, "You look a lot like her!" Haha.
