Ok, this was effing hard work y'all.
Holy crap and I have to type all this out too? oy.
Anyway.


Here's about as barefaced as I get.



Put concealer where you need it. I have circles. I cover mine. Blend it. Blend it well.


Put foundation on and blend it. I used my fingertips, and just smoothed it really well.

Then I take a fluffy face brush and buff my whole face.


Now, we want to draw on eyebrows.


Hey. I have eyebrows now. I still hate them. I'm still trying to fix them.


Apply bare canvas paint all over the lid and browbone as a primer.

Apply Shimmersand SS all over the lid.


Apply Honeylust to the lid with an eyeshadow wand.

Load Coppering e/s onto a brush, and put it in a rainbow over the lids like so.

Load Sushi Flower onto a brush, and put it in the crease, like so...

Apply matte yellow pigment over the inner corner and third of lid. blend.

Dusty Coral Pigment. Our best friend.

Apply Dusty Coral pigment from upper inner corner to end of lash line, diagonally.

Vanilla pigment. If you don't have it, you just get it. Put it on the browbone, and then blend. This actually blended a LOT better IRL than it shows in the pics.


Line the lower rim with Dusty coral as well. Not something I usually do, but for today...hey.

Line your waterline, then tightline your lashes.

Curl your lashes, then apply two coats to upper lashes, one to lower. I use CG Lash Exact Mascara, because I love it.

Petticoat MSF on apples of cheeks. I make a silly little Katie Holmes half smile face, and go from there.

Porceline Pink over that.

Make a fishy face, and use a contouring brush to put Mocha Pink by Clinique in the hollows.

close up shot of eyes.

I finished it off with just a tiny bit of Naked You MSF on a soft face brush then buffed the entire face with it.

Weeeee.
We just went from to
in about a billion steps.

I had to put on a scarf, and hold my hair back, because it was annoying me.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Please be gentle, this is my first tutorial. Which was interrupted no less than five times.

That looks really nice!

I wish I had all of the products that you used, I would def. try and do that myself! It probably would not look as nice as yours though. For some reason if I do to much w/ my eyes, I have trouble getting it to look the same on each eye. I seriously get all flustered then, and it just doesn't work, lol.

honestly, if you use any neutral, then orange, yellow, hot pink, and coral, you should be able to replicate it.

And, as you're going thru, do one eye, then do the same thing on the other eye. Then do the next step, this will keep the eyes even.

And, when you get bored, PRACTICE!

I've grown attached to this color scheme! It's easy to just stick with one thing when you like it.
