I wanted to do a video tutorial but the light was bad so I decided to do a picture tutorial. It took me FOREVER and there are soooo many pictures :P
So... This is what I, Zoffe, look like without makeup :P (when I'm tired and have just taken old makeup off
)
Start with GOSH Cosmetics Velvet Touch Foundation Primer... I LOVE this SO much!
Take a little bit on your hand, a little goes a long way...
Try to look as stupid as you can while applying it evenly all over your face
Remember to put your hair back like I did... It's really flattering for your face :P
Take your foundation... I'm using Maybelline dream matte mousse. I like the foundation but the color is too dark/yellow so I'm looking for a new
Apply your foundation with your favourite foundation brush. I'm using MAC 190
Next, take your concealer. I don't have any so I'm using a liquid foundation. Biotherm Sense Matte.
Apply it with a brush where needed. I use my MAC 194 brush. Remember to blend it in
Poooowder! I'm using Maybelline pure powder (just because... Not that I really like it...)
Use a big, fluffy powder brush
I use Smashbox 3.
Next... Eyeshadow base! I loooove ArtDeco "eyeshadow base"!
I apply it with my fingers but a concealer brush works just as well if you don't want your fingers in the product :P This base needs to set/dry for a few minutes before applying your eyeshadow...
Lip balm!! Hydrate your lips while your waiting
White eyeshadow! I use MAC Gesso. I use a se213 brush. I would have used my 239 but it needs to be cleaned after playing with blaaack shadow.
Apply it on your inner corners and on your browbone. It's hard to see in the picture so I drew an outline :P
Next is a light, blue, shimmery eyeshadow. I use GOSH "spa" effect powder. Fall in love with the color :P I'm using a random, small eyeshadow brush.
And I apply it where I didn't apply Gesso.
Next is a dark blue eyeshadow. I use GOSH "7th heaven" efect powder and I use it wet(with home made mixing medium**... Works wonders
). I dip my brush in my mixing medium and mix it with some shadow in the eyeshadow lid. Use a small crease brush for this.
Apply the dark blue in your crease and you'll look something like this(kinda scarry :P ):
Go back to the dark blue eyeshadow but use it dry this time. I used the same brush as I applyed the light blue with.
Wait until the wet shadow from before is (almost) dry and apply some more dry on top. This time blending it into the lighter blue. See the difference?
I apply a bit more "Spa" because you don't think it's bright enough and just because you love the color :P
Next, take an even darker blue eyeshadow. I used MAC Flashtrack with a se213 brush(again because my 239 is dirrrrrtyyy).
Apply it to the outter corner and blend it in
You want to add some depth but you don't want the dark shadow to be too obvious.
Take your MAC "Frostlite" fluidline or any eyeshadow with a similar color. I used a small eyeshadow brush.
Apply it to your inner eye and on the inner 1/3-1/4 of your lower lashline... You'll look more awake which is awesome
Take a greeeeen eyeshadow! Like GOSH "Kiwi" effect powder. Use it wet (mixing medium**) for more intensity. Use a liner brush like the MAC 266.
And apply it to your lower lashline where you didn't use Frostlite.
Purrrrple eyeliner. Go with Macroviolet f/l and a small eyeliner brush (this one is by GOSH)
Apply it to your waterline. Make a wing(that you won't see later... So... Don't wing it :P ) and decide that a brighter purple would have been better. Be too lazy to do something about it and leave it like this:
Blaaack eyeliner! Use whatever you like the most. I use MAC Blacktrack f/l because it's easy, lasts and looks good :P Best liner I've tried
Use the same brush as before (or an angeled liner brush if you prefer...)
Liiine your upper lashline... Try to make it thin but end up making it thicker because you always do :P
Wing the liner. It should look like this (not the shadow, it looks weird in this pic xD )
Time for broooows. Use an eyeshadow close to your haircolor (a bit darker if you have light hair and a bit lighter if you have dark hair). I use this dark reddish brown from my GOSH "Goldfinger" quad
Use an angled brush to fill those brows :P
Contouring! MAC "Emote" blush. Use a matte(!!!) blush a bit darker than your skintone.
Use an contour brush (like an angled blush brush), make a fish face to find where you want the contour to be (under your cheekbones) and apply like this:
Find your favorite blush. This isn't really a blush and it isn't really my favourite but it looks nice and it's like blush and highlight in one: MAC "Northern Light" MSF
Using a blush brush apply it to the apples of your cheaks blending up-/outwards (like opposite of what you just did with the contour). It'll look like this:
Find all the lip products you're going to use. Nude lipliner (Rimmel "018 Addiction"), Lipgloss (MAC "Lightswitch" 3D Glass) and lip brush (MAC 316)
Whipe off excess lip balm from earlier. Apply lipliner and blend it in with your finger... You don't want those porn star lips, do you? :P You can use the lipbrush to blend the liner as well...
Apply gloss and it'll look like this:
Find your favourite mascara... (which IS Diorshow... It has to be :P )
Apply... And your done!
Reward yourself with a piece of chocolate, take a stupid picture of yourself eating it but delete it by accident when uploading the pictures /:
Make an emo face??
Or a snob face??
Naah, just be yourself
