tutorial: red-popping neutrals

I used-
NYX Milk
Soft Brown
Vanilla pigment
Satin Taupe
Espresso
Dazzlelight
Coppering
Solar White
W&W creme liner
L'oreal mascara
some falsies

1. I start off by doing my eyebrows and base.

2. Of course... Soft Brown in the crease with a 217.

3. Vanilla pigment on the lid.

4. I pack Satin Taupe on the outer lid.

5. Dazzlelight on the browbone. So this look isn't so frosty, I take Espresso e/s and my 217 and apply it lightly over Satin Taupe.

6. Coppering on the lower lash line.

7. To tone down the intensity of Coppering I apply Soft Brown on the inner lash line and Satin Taupe on the outer lash line over Coppering. I also applied Solar White in the inner corners.

8. Liner...

(I do my face in between these steps.)

9. Mascara...

Add some falsies, and we're done!


Thanks for looking!

tutorial: clown makeup

You asked, and you shall receive! :) Coming up, I have a tutorial for my "red-popping neutrals" and stash pics (makeup and nail polish).

used:
NYX Milk
Sweet & Punchy
Soft Brown
Firecracker
Vanilla pigment
Solar White
W&W cream liner
L'oreal mascara

1. My eyebrows and base are already applied. I apply Soft Brown in the crease (as usual!) with a 217.

2. I pack Sweet & Punchy on the lid with a 239.

3. I applied Firecracker on the outer lid with a (clean) 239. At this stage, it really looks like clown makeup!

4. Blend it out. I use a Stila #9 brush (similar to a MAC 226) for blending bright and/or highly pigmented colors.

5. Vanilla pigment on the brow bone.. with all the blending going on, S&P's vibrantness kind of gets lost, so I pack on another layer.

6. On the lower lashline, I apply Soft Brown, S&P, Then Firecracker.

7. Solar White in inner corners.

8. Liner and mascara, and I'm done!
