Hello fine specktra members. I finally found a way to wear trax without looking like I have pink eye. So...I decided to make a tutorial for those of you who also seem to have trouble with trax.

This is my first tutorial ever so I apologize in advance if it's not detailed enough or the pictures suck. Thanks and I hope you enjoy!

Here are the products I used:

(MAC- trax e/s, stars n rockets e/s, contrast e/s, freshwater e/s retrospeck e/s, & the rest <base, neutral colored lip gloss, concealor, mascara, brushes> of your choice)


First and foremost, start out with a clean face. Here I have my brows slightly drawn on because I look like an alien without them filled in.

Also notice the really chapped/dry lips.

Then put on your base. I used Mark's Super Mark It in Fairy/Fee (the lavender one). Blend to your desire. It should look like this:

Then apply trax e/s all over your lids like so:

and it should look like this

Now apply stars n rockets e/s in the inner corners to the middle of your lids like so:

Okay after that, dot a very minimal amount of contrast e/s to your outer corners:

and blend it till it looks like this:

add the highlighter (i used retrospeck) along the browbone to make it look like this:

Take your small angled brush and dip it into contrast (wet the brush slightly) and sweep it across your lashline then blend it upward

I waited till now to put on concealor just because it's easier and better to apply it after excess eyeshadow powder has been cleaned up:

Now line your waterline with contrast like this:

and do the same thing again with freshwater (on top of contrast)

Apply mascara:

FINALLY the lips (i put on rosebud salve before i apply lip gloss to moisturize my entire mouth area):

yay lipgloss (i used venom gloss by duwop in firethorn):

p11902564xs.jpg



apply subtle blush:

AND YOU ARE DONE!

Its cute. but i personally would have used a different highlight like frost pigment for this look. for some reason retrospeck doesnt always work well as a highlight. at least that is just my opinion

thank you. yea you're right. retrospeck is super glittery (too glittery), but that's the only thing i have right now as a highlight. i heard that shroom was good too. what other colors do you usually use as highlights (Besides pigments)?

for highlight i use mostly frost. but i would try shroom definitly. ricepaper is good too. primisque i love too but isnt that one discontinued? im not sure. i think it might be.
