This is currently my fave look to wear. I've provided my first (and perhaps last) detailed tutorial below on how to achieve this look on myself covering eyebrow and eyeshadow application, eyeliner, false lashes (top AND bottom), foundation, blush, as well as contouring... PHEW!!! I didn't realize how difficult these tutorials are to make! Well, I hope this is satisfactory. Enjoy!
What my poor hubby wakes up to every morning... YIKES!!!
Naked eye
Put on colored contacts (in my opinion, this makes my eyes appear larger)
Color in only the bald areas with brow pencil
Lightly dip small angled brow brush into a dark brown eye shadow and color in the rest of brows.
Finished brows
Apply an eye primer using with taklon concealer brush for the smoothest application. Follow with dusting of translucent powder
Now you have a good canvas to start off with
Wipe concealer brush clean and dampen with 1-2 drops of water-based mixing medium and swirl brush into pink eye shadow.
Apply all over eyes up to below browbone. This will provide a good adhering base for the rest of the eyeshadow application
Apply gold shadow along upper lashline up to crease using a tapered blending brush
Apply contour eye shadow to outer two-thirds of eye and sweep into crease using a blending brush
Define crease and outer "V" lightly with dark eye shadow using a pencil brush
Apply highlight eye shadow to browbone and inner corner of eye using a medium paddle brush. Finished with the eye shadows! On to lining the eyes.
Apply creme or liquid eye liner to upper lashline. I extend line 1/4 inch past outer corner of eye to create "wing"
Finished upper eyeliner product
Now with the wetline completed using the same method
Again using a pencil brush, dip into black eye shadow and line along bottom lashline beneath wetline. On to the lashes!
I use falsies all of the time. My natural lashes are pathetic. I no longer bother with mascara. Curl natural lashes. Apply DUO lash adhesive along lash strip. I use the blunt end of a sewing needle to apply.
Now apply along lashline (THIS TAKES PRACTICE!). I hold the lash ends in place with my fingers until they're dry enough otherwise they'll lift out of place.
Finished lashes. My natural lashes can never look like this no matter how much mascara I use.
Just for fun I decided to put on bottom lashes applied the same way as upper lashes along the bottom lashline. These are placed beneath your natural lashes.
My finished eyes (*EDIT: I should've tightlined my upper lashline!!!)
Foundation time! I apply extra spot coverage only where I need it using a foundation brush.
Next I buff mineral foundation to the rest of my face using a kabuki/buffer brush in circular motions for sheer coverage and to even out skin tone
A clear and even skin tone sure makes me happy!!!
On to rosy cheeks. SMILE! Apply blush to apples of cheeks sweeping up to temples
Next apply highlighter to the tops of the apples of the cheeks with a small duo fibre brush
Now I'm officially blushing and glowing!
Facial contouring: use a matte bronzer several shades darker than skin tone applying with large angled contour brush. Apply along jawline to minimize the "double-chin" look, and into hollows of my cheeks to simulate cheekbones
Next I contour my nose to define a bridge inbetween my eyes and narrow down my wide nose by applying contour to the sides of my nostrils. I use a medium paddle brush and concealer two shades darker than my skin tone for this. Remember to blend edges of all contouring well!!!
Finally, set entire look with powder using duo fibre brush
Yay! I'm finally done!!!
My finished pair of eyes
The classic "looking down" pose to show off my makeup application
My finished face polished up with a bit of Photoshopping, hah! Scroll back to the top to see my previous hideousness!!!
Thanks for looking!!!
