OK...we can finally start...
Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply Prep+Prime Skin. BE FRUGAL! It takes less than a full pump to do your whole face.
Next, shake your bottle of foundation so it makes a bubble of product at the top so you can sweep your 187 brush over it lightly. You really don't need much when you apply it this way. Just a touch on the brush. Swirl it all over your face and finish with downward strokes around your cheeks and chin.
lovely.... haha
Next, dab whatever concealer you decide to use over blemishes and dark/discolored areas of the face. I like to tilt my head down and look upward into the mirror when concealing dark circles. It helps you see only the shady area you need to cover up, rather than goo-ing up your whole under-eye area.
like this...
Then, blend the product with the concealer brush.
Set everything with the blot powder and a powder brush.
Next, fill your brows however you like. I like to use the Define a Brow in the sparse areas and traced around the shape of my eyebrows. Use short strokes. I like to use the little comb to blend everything.
At this point, my lips start feelin' kind of dry. So, I go ahead and apply my lip primer. This gives it plenty of time to dry too.
Next, take the kabuki brush and blend everything together really well, especially around your jawline.
Now you're ready to start the eyes...
Take the Beige-ing SS and apply it all over your eyelid and brow bone.
Make sure you've traced a good outer shape and don't go too far inward with it between the lid and brow. Trace the area where you want your eye shadow to go on the outer edges (make straight outer lines).
Apply your Pearl CCB on the brow bone only.
Next, take the white NYX pencil and fill in your lids only. This will make the colors look brighter.
Apply Coppering e/s with the 239 over the area shown.
Next, apply Mythology e/s to the un-shaded part of the lid.
It should look like this:
Now...for you Scotch Tape lovers....YOU DON'T need it!! You can easily make a defined "Jem-esque" outer edge with a 239 brush. I swear, you can.
HAHAHAHAHA!! I couldn't resist...Damn, I loved Jem...
ANYWAY, Back to the tutorial...
Load up one side of your 239 brush with Post Haste e/s. Hold the outer tip of the brush against the outer edge of your shadow. Touch it once there and define it a little more by going back over it if you need to. Like this:
Next, add some more Post Haste to the tip of the brush and do the same thing along the crease, touching the line you just made. Like this:
Use some more Post Haste to fill in this outer area and VOILA!! You made an outer v. It should look like this:
Next, swirl the #34 brush in Rule e/s and apply right above and into the crease like this:
Swoosh it back and forth like a windshield wiper.
Now you should be lookin' like this:
Flick the leftover shadow off the #34 brush and use it to apply Hoppin' e/s to the brow bone up to the brows.
Now, use the same brush again to apply Expensive Pink e/s over the Rule, giving it a pretty shimmer. Like this:
Now, apply your black cream liner with a hard angle brush. Make sure to stop the liner where your outer eye shadow color stops. Also, follow the outer edge you made when making your "wing". Like this:
Keep working until you have the shape and intensity you want.
Next, take your 219 brush and cover one side of it with Carbon e/s. Go over the line you made to soften it and make it look a little darker. Like this:
Now, take your flatter shading/blending brush and cover one side of it with Bisque e/s (or another that is similar to your skin tone). Line it up with the outer edge of color and use the color to define the outer line even more. Like this:
Now, apply your mascara and use the spoolie brush to remove any clumps and separate them a little. Also, apply a little to your lower lashes.
I have a rebel lash that likes to point straight downward for some reason...
Next, apply your bronzer with a big powder brush. Apply to your cheeks, nose, forehead, and a little on your chin. Blend it well.
Now use your 168, or any smaller slant brush to apply the darker half of the Sculpt and Shape powder. Apply the color right underneath your cheekbones and vertically on the sides of your nose. Like this:
Next, use a small powder brush to apply the lighter side of the powder (a highlighting powder) to the areas above your cheekbones, right above your eye brows, and vertically down the bridge of your nose. Like this:
(above your cheekbones)
Next, apply Cute powder blush to the apples of your cheeks with the 116 brush. Blend downward and outward in short strokes.
Almost finished! Apply your lipcolor. First, line lips with Subculture liner and follow with Politely Pink lipstick. Top it off with Star Nova Lustreglass.
Spray on some Fix+ and you're on your way!
Hope you guys found this useful! CC is welcome and let me know if you have any questions!
