Now lets begin - Class is in session

Okay students! First we begin with a base as its imperative for eyeshadows to stick to for durability and longevity.
Put some Bare Canvas on your index finger like such. This is enough for one whole eyelid


Apply in a patting motion.


Should look something like this when done. Excellent!


Next load up an eyeshadow brush with lots of MAC Naked Lunch. Don't be afraid to be generous.


Apply to the middle of the eyelid.


Should look something like this. Well done students


Now load up that same brush with MAC Nylon again being very generous


Apply MAC Nylon over MAC Naked Lunch on both eyes. It should look something like this.


Now use a firmer, smaller eyeshadow brush and pick up some MAC Sable


Apply to the eyelid concentrating on the outer and inner third and above the crease where Nylon and Naked Lunch are. This doesn't have to be neat so don't be upset if you make a mistake. I promise we can fix it


Grab your MAC 224 and blend your little hearts out!


Should look something like this. Blended vs Unblended


I used my Smashbox No.3 brush and loaded it up with MAC Dazzlelight


Apply MAC Dazzlelight above the crease, under the brow bone and around the eyesocket to blend all the eyeshadows


Your eyes should look something like this after the blending. Keeping up students!


Side on view


Front view - hehe i looked drunk here


Carrying on, next take a smaller liner brush and pick up some sable again


Line the outer bottom lashline with some MAC Sable


Line the inner bottom lashline with some MAC Dazzlelight


Coming along nicely - i dont know why i dont smile. concentrating too much i guess. Should look like this


Next take your angled brush and dip it in some Benefit Browzings


Shape those eyebrows - i love doing eyebrows


This is one eyebrow done with Browzings


And now the other


THank the lord for these contraptions!!! my eyelashes are so damn straight so lets curl these babies sky high


Curl those lashes good - im using Maybelline Full n Soft. Usually i use Diorshow WP but im all out.


Heres a comparison of mascara-ed eye vs. unmascara-ed eye LOL


Tis a bigggg difference. Heres both eyes done..


eyes completed should look something like this


Well done class - now that our eyes are complete we can move onto our faces. First we apply a primer so our face has an even base to apply foundation onto. Were using Napoleon Auto Pilot Primer.


Apply a few dots all over your face. Not too much as we dont want our faces completely wet. Blend into your face with your fingers or a foundation brush.


Next get your MAC Select SPF 15 NW20 with Relvon Skinlights in Light Peach ready.


Mix in a 2:1 ratio of foundation to luminiser on the back of your hand


Apply to face with fingers or brush. Oh seems i have misplaced my foundation brush. Students choose which you feel more comfortable with


Blend until you see now streak, all imperfections are covered and you have a flawless base


Next, pick up some Ben Nye Coral blush with a big fluffy brush


Apply to the apples of your cheeks in soft swirling motion. Well done!!


One cheek done


And the other - symmetrical and looking good!


Ahhh MSF Time - used to brighten up your face and highlight too
Pick up some MAC Shimpagne MSF


Apply to cheeks to give some depth and shimmer


Next the most fantabulous highlighter known on earth, MAC Lightscapade MSF


Apply with the same fluffy brush we used for the coral brush and Shimpagne. Apply on top of the cheekbones are around to your temples. This looks lovely when photographed side on. Gives a luminous look.




Lets get those lips ready!!! Were almost done class. Grab your Stila No.18


Line your lips and colour them in.


Ahh colour time, grab your Stila Lipglaze in Bouquet


Apply to the lips. Theres no need for a brush as this one is on the lipglaze. Marvellous i hear you say!


Lips all lined and glazed. Well done class!




This next step is fantastic if you have quite a small top lip like i do. Grab some MAC Rose Blanc


Load a q-tip with rose blanc and apply it to your cupids bow.. ahhhh highlighting!


Should look like this. Its a subtle but lovely touch for those ppl with small top lips


Blot time. apply MAC Blot powder Medium all over forehead, nose, chin and anywhere where we didnt put cheek colour. Buff in until all uniform. Were on the home stretch class


We should look like this now all blended, coloured and buffed


There we have it - a nude tutorial. Any students needing help dont be afraid to ask. im here to help
