Tutorial - What The!?So, today, I for some reason decided to attempt a tutorial. Couldn't find the good cam, so it's with the shoddy one. Follow up: ![]() Start with clean skin, well moisturised. Heap on the moisturiser around the eyes - you'll be surprised how much they soak up! ![]() Time for laying down a base, dudes. Put whatever base you like on your brow bone (I'm using Painterly paint pot) and apply Delft paint pot to the lid. I use a blending brush to apply it so that it goes on evenly. Feel free to layer it to build up the colour - I do! ![]() With a flat, stiff brush, apply Old Gold pigment to the lid over the Delft paint pot. ![]() Grab a blending brush and your Steel Blue pigment - mix up some wet stuff, yo! Dry, this is one chunky-arse pigment. Wet, it is smooth and gorgeous. ![]() Blend the wet Steel Blue over the outer third of the lid. ![]() Now we're gonna use some Plumage shadow, yo. Pack that stuff onto the outer corner with a dry blending brush to help ease some of the shimmery-shim and add depth. ![]() Blend that badboy Plumage through the crease, dudes! ![]() Highlighting time! I use Blanc Type, since we already have a lot of shimmer going on. I use my 227 brush to sweep it onto the brow bone, then I turn it to blend it in. ![]() I also like to go back in with the brush I blended the Plumage with to do a bit more blending and make sure everything is smooth. ![]() This is all that remains of my Blanc Type! ![]() A cotton swab dipped in eye makeup remover will now come in quite handy to remove any fall out. ![]() Now, some liner. I'm using a small angle brush and blacktrack fluidline. Here's where I pause and apply foundation and concealer. I return to the eye after this, but I like to be sure I can bring my undereye concealer all the way up to the lash line, as I find it truly helps to brighten the eye. Don't forget to set with powder! ![]() Back to the eye, dudes. With a pencil brush, apply some more Plumage to the outer lower lid. It helps to tie everything together, yo. ![]() Again pencil brushing it, apply Nylon to the tear duct and inner lower lid to add a bit of brightness. ![]() I also put Nylon on my waterline. With such a dark eye already, I want something light on my waterline, yo. I think Uppity fluidline would suit better, but I wanted to use all permanent items. ![]() I use a bit more blacktrack on the outer lower lashline to add definition. ![]() Finally, do your brows, curl your lashes and slap on some mascara! I don't do my brows til after all the shadow is in place, as I like to ensure I don't have any stray highlighter in them. Now is when I add blush (I used True Romantic Beauty Powder Blush - sorry for the LE Here is the crappy final picture: ![]() Why on earth does Patisserie look so red here? Whatever. It's a bit more nude in person. Enh. So, this is more of a night time look, as it's not particularly shy and demure. Also, I opted for Old Gold since that poor sucker has the Triangle of Death now - it's so pretty!!! Get it while you can!!! Finally, are there any questions or comments? Should I give up now and run for the hills or do another of these some day? |
