Subtle pinkish/gold shimmery eyes - done on brown skin!

[greeen]

This is my first tutorial, hopefully it's coherent

This is something I'll do for work or when I don't wanna go all out with it.

The products I'm using are

Bare Escentuals (BE) mineral foundation in deep
Bare Escentuals tinted mineral veil
Unscented moisturizer
Arbonne concealer in dark
Arbonne blush (used as eyeshadow) in flirt
Arbonne eyeshadow in petal
Arbonne mascara in black
Arbonne eyeliner in eclipse
MAC eyeshadow in full flame
Eyelash curler
Brow brush
Zuzu Luxe tinted gloss in tango


starting on a blank canvas....i have some blemishes/uneven skintone, makeup is such a nice pick me up'r

My Arbonne concealer is too light so I make a tinted moisturizer with BE foundation and unscented lotion (Trader Joe's brand)

The concealer is okay for my under eye area and cheeks

My face has to be moisturized before using BE, otherwise it can look alittle dry..chalky almost. This is with the tinted moisturizer

The BE foundation,

I use a powder brush from the body shop to apply it

It's actually my favorite brand of foundation now..I'm sold on it.

After the foundation and the mineral veil (really good at setting my makeup and getting rid of shiny areas

top: Arbonne blush in flirt
bottom left: Arbonne eyeshadow in petal
bottom right: MAC eyeshadow in full flame

• Arbonne eyeshadow in petal is applied to upper lashline and lid
• MAC eyeshadow in full flame is lightly applied to the middle of the top lid and should extend towards the brow bone just a little
• Arbonne blush in flirt is applied to the very top of the upper lid and beneath the brows (it has a pinkish look on my eyelid but a shimmery goldish look beneath the brow area)
• fill in eyebrows

This is what I used for my brows - Arbonne eyeliner in eclipse and a little brown brush.

For my lashes I just curl and apply a coat of mascara, I LOVE this mascara, it doesn't come off easily even if I get watery eyes and it doesn't clump.

Eyes and brows,

eye lashes
mascara versus NO mascara

eyes, brows, mascara together

I applied the zuzu luxe gloss in tango

I took off my scarf finally lol.

taking down my hair, I sleep with it tied up because it tangles easily.
I love big curly hair so I tend to do these twists at night and then unravel in the morning,

Here's some more views of the eyes in different lightings

Hope it was easy to follow.
Hope you enjoyed it.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I think the pink shadows look gorgeous but I am always a bit wary of putting them on in case i look like i have galloping conjunctivitis. You look absolutely beautiful, and i adore your hair, and i'm going to have a go at following this look.
