My first tutorial EVER! (Purple smokey eye)
I have gotten a few different requests for tutorials, so I just decided to make one of this look.

I was lazy about it, so I didn't do as good of a job as I did on the original one, but...that's ok, haha. You still get the idea, at least. This one is just a little sloppier.

Warning: Some of the following pictures are scary. Please ignore the nasty, greasy, messy hair, the circles under my eyes, and the oversized forest green and navy Tigger sweatshirt. I didn't want to get dressed, and I need to wash my hair. Haha. The makeup kinda clashes with the colors of the Tigger sweatshirt, but oh well.

For the first part of this tutorial (the eyes), you will need:



Start with a bare face.

I normally look a little bit better than this without makeup (at least I hope), but I was kinda fucked up last night, and it showed on my face this morning. Haha.
Bare Eye:



Step One:

Apply Beige-ing shadestick all over eyelid. I concentrate most of it on my lower lid, and put a bit above the crease and blend it with my finger.

Step Two:

Add Sharkskin s/s to crease. I didn't take a picture of this, but I just put it in the crease and outer corners, and use my concealer brush (194) to blend it. I use my finger for blending most shadesticks, but I have a hard time with Sharkskin sometimes, haha.

Step Three:

Using your 213 brush (or whatever brush you want to use, really), apply Vex eyeshadow to the lower lid up to the crease. As you can see, my shadestick job is VERY sloppy, haha. So um...try to make yours better. Like I said, I was just lazy today. I did a MUCH better job of this yesterday (see link for original post at the top of this tutorial).

Step Four:

Using the 219, apply Grape pigment to the crease and extend upwards and outwards a bit.

Step Five:

Add Beauty Marked e/s to outer corner and slightly into crease. I did this in shitty lighting, so you can't really see it well...plus I should have used more. Adjust to your liking...use more for a smokier/darker effect.

Step Six:

Using the 213 brush, highlight browbone with Dazzlelight eyeshadow, and blend into the Grape pigment.

Step Seven:

Line upper and lower lashlines, as well as the lower waterline with Violet Underground.

Step Eight:

Using the 266 brush and Espresso eyeshadow (or whatever color works for you), fill in your brows. It makes a HUGE difference in the end, I promise.

Step Nine:


Wet your 266 brush and use it to line your top and bottom lashline with Beauty Marked eyeshadow.

Step Ten (optional step):

Apply white side of Maybelline XXL mascara to lashes.

Step 10.5:

Apply mascara (I just used Maybelline Great Lash).

It should now look something like this:


Some people choose to do concealer and all of that before they do their eye makeup, but I always do mine afterwards. I tend to get a lot of fall-out, especially from dark or shimmery shadows, so I wait until I'm done with my eyes to apply my face makeup. I also keep a pre-moistened makeup wipe on hand, for corrections and to get rid of the powder and stuff that falls off and lands under your eyes. My mom just buys me the Costco (Kirkland) brand ones, and they work just fine for me!

For the second part of this tutorial you will need:


Step Eleven:

Using the 168 brush (angled blush brush), apply Mocha blush to the hollows of your cheeks and blend up toward your temples. I tried to outline the area for you, but a good way to find your own is to make a fish face (suck in your cheeks), and fill in the hollow part with blush.

Step Twelve:

Apply Petticoat MSF with the 187 brush to the apples of the cheeks (the rounder part), and blend upwards following the line you just created with the blush. Basically, you want the same shape, but you want to fill it out...so apply this above and on top of the blush line...but especially above it and on the apples!

Step Thirteen:

Apply Punkin' lipstick and top it off with Oi! Oi! Oi! lipglass. Yes, I realize this lip combo looks like shit in these pictures, but that's because of the colors on my stupid sweatshirt, haha. If you view my original post, it looks much better.


You're done!

Just practice! Mine didn't use to be very straight...you just improve the more you do it. The 266 works really well for doing lines though.
