Hi everyone!!
A couple of people requested a tutorial for this FOTD I posted a while back. I'm sorry it took me a while to do this, but here it is
Here's the link to the original FOTD I posted:

Enjoy!
I've been getting positive feedback about my brows, all thanks to Ruby_Woo's excellent brow tutorial!!
Here's what my brows look like before
and and after
I'll show you quickly how I do mine..
I use dipdown fluidline and a brow brush from Posh.
Underline your brows.
Flick the brush to create the tail.
This is what it looks like so far.
Then I just fill it in! On my lazy days, such as today, I skip the brow powder to set it
Ta-da!
Alright, now on to the tutorial...
Here's the look I'm trying to recreate:
Prime your eyes with UDPP
Apply Brule with big brush (#227)
Take Costa riche eye kohl and sharpen it until it's pointy to maximum precision. The technique I'm using is pretty much based on Nireyna's technique
Find your eye socket, usually by looking down (even though I'm looking up in this picture
)
Just draw a line by following your eye socket, starting from the middle. Everyone has a crease, even though it's not always visible. Mine aren't that prominent. I do have a fold, but that's not the same as a crease.
Lay your pencil flat on the line and sort of flick upwards.
Connect it with your outer corner of your eye.
This is what it should look like so far.
Now lay a flat brush (#212) that has nothing on it flick the brush upwards to blend the liner.
Use the same flat brush and get some eye liner on it.
Continue cutting the crease inwards. This look I'm going for is an extreme cut crease, which goes all the way in. Kind of looks like a pocket
So your basic shape is done now!
Compare that to a plain eye:
Now take another flat eyeshadow brush (#242) and dip it into Clarity. Apply it by pressing it on top of the crease you just made and again flick it upwards.
Take another flat brush (Quo definer brush) and use Ricepaper as your highlight.
Take an angle brush (#266) and Meet the fleet. Press the brush right on top of the crease line and blend/flick upwards. I know, there's lots of flicking
With a smaller brush (#228), take Deep truth and apply it in between the 2 colors.
I lost some of that Clarity, so I'm going back in to touch up where needed.
Blend the colors with a 224 brush.
Apply Pure white chromaline with a flat brush on your lid. If you get any white on your already defined crease, just go back in with the #266 and Meet the fleet to re-define your crease. You can also use Fascinating eye kohl, NYX Jumbo pencil or any white base you like.
Apply Gesso on top of the white base.
Line your eyes with whatever technique you prefer.
Take a fluffy brush (Mine is from Quo) and apply Bright sunshine on the inner corner.
I put on my mascara (Rimmel Sexy Curves) and I used Smolder eye kohl to line my waterline.
The tricky part is just getting both sides even.
Add some falsies (Ardell #117) and the eyes are done!
For the cheeks, I'm using Frankly Scarlet blush and a 187 brush to apply it.
I'm using Moon River and the 165 brush to highlight my cheekbones.
Put on your lipliner (NYX Mauve), lipstick (Jubilee) and lipgloss (Love nectar).
PS: How beautiful is my Mercenary nail polish?!!
And we're finally done!!
(Have you guys ever noticed that I always line one of my eyes thicker than the other? lol.. It's because one eye is smaller than the other, in case you're wondering
)
Oh yeah, btw I know that the shape isn't completely even on both sides. My battery was dying so I had to rush it. I wasn't planning on going anywhere anyways
Thanks for bearing with me guys! I hope you find this tutorial useful
