Party Time!
Ok my video camera was being a ...well it wasn't working properly D : So the v-blog I had planned for today has to be postponed. Instead I'm going to write out the steps for you guys! As well as include the finished product pics. : D Oh and a list of what I used. I'm not going to include the names of the products just pictures of them so that you can match the colors. *Please excuse my funny facial expressions in these pics. I didn't realize some of them were wonky until I started to upload) OH as far as time taken for this this look is concerned it was about 10 minutes : D Including everything.
Step 1 : Apply your base.
There are two main reasons you want to apply some sort of base on your eyes before applying your make-up. First, the base helps correct any discoloration on your eye lids and secondly they make-up will stay on longer. Being super cheap... I decided to give this base I found at Daiso yesterday a try. D : If your skin breaks out easily or is super sensitive I really wouldn't suggest using such cheap-o products. Either spend your money on a good base OR just apply a little bit of foundation. : D
Step 2 :
Once you've got your base on there its time to apply your base color. For this look I used my Maybelline "cool effect shadow/eyeliner" in cool bean. I haven't seen this in stores for a while, so you can try using either a similar GOLD colored eye shadow or thick eye liner. Apply it on your entire lid as well as line the bottom part of your eye.
Step 3:
Now what you'll need is a Copper colored eye shadow. Mine has sorta lost its case from being dropped a few to many times. But the pic should give you a pretty good idea of the sort of color we're looking for. Using a brush apply it in a line down the center of your eye. the line should be about the width of your pinky.
Step 4:
Ok the next step is to find yourself a rounded brush (I'm holding it up to my face because D : well it was the lightest thing around and I wanted you guys to see the brush) I <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDlYmsip9JW-dUo3UT0TbnHmqdr_IY9Y7Wh7C6PsGP4cZv9DwAXXA-q2skIt34CtRexgeX7VlfRqSq8Cpw-ZR-wdItlxyApYg8pqgQmHz7cF46X2nDztG3G3To_VoWUoz1BQ0IpZoLves/s1600-h/164507.jpg">
Ok a little side note.. I always get fall out (You know...that eye shadow that falls under your eye when you apply the eye shadow on your lid. And its always a dark color D : ) Any who just use a wet wipe to clean if up! : D Problem solved! or a little bit of make-up remover if your concealer isnt on yet
Step 5:
Ok! It's time to apply the BLACK colored eye shadow. We're still using the same brush we used to apply the gray and you don't need to clean if off . Just dip that sucker into the black! Then apply to the crease of the eye going about half way. . (PS I sorta have a gummie bear in my mouth D : which is why I'm making those wierd faces) Sorry about the color contrast D : the lighting (aka the sun) was not working with me.
Step 6:
Blend blend blend!! Your going to need a clean brush similar to the round brush we just used but a bit less dense. The one I'm using is on he left hand side and I'm holding it up to the round brush from before for comparison. When your blending think of trying to mix the gray and black into each other along where they meet as well as the gray and black into the copper color. DONT blend out into your eye brow! There shouldnt be much diff between what your eye looked like before and after but the black should look a bit less intense and more blended into the other colors. * still the same gummi bear in my mouth*
Step 7:
Apply some brown to the outer V. BLEND with the soft brush.
And then apply just a little of a purple color to the crease over the black. Don't add to much! It's not suppose to look too purple. The color I'm using is a bit of a mix between a brown and some purple sparkles. If you have a shimmery purple you could just mix in a liiitle bit of brown to get a color thats pretty close. Again BLEND with the soft brush
Step 8 :
Apply a lot of white just under your eye brow. The reason we want to apply more than we actually want on there is because we're going to blend the brown high light into the black. It'll look scary but don't worry! I promise it'll work out. Remember to place your brush at the highest point of your eye brow first so you get the most color there and then apply it to the the other parts along your eye brow.
I went and blended even a bit more after that pic was taken. =.= Blend blend blend
Step 9:
Get a small liner brush. Again this isn't a real make-up brush its a cheap paintbrush. It's flat with a square top. Wet it on a wet wipe OR run to a sink or a glass of water and make it really wet. Then dip it into your black and line your eye. Line the bottom of your eye as well going about half way.
Step 9:
Smudge the line out a bit. You can use either your finger, one of your brushes with a little bit of brown color on it, or a Q-tip! Don't forget to smudge the bottom lash line as well.
Step 9:
I really really think every girl should have a white eyeliner! So if you have one pull it out! If you don't you can use white eye shadow for this part but really :c go out and buy one girl. ( or guy) Warm it up on the back of your hand. And then apply to the inner most corner of your eye and drag it into your lid as well making that part of your lid much lighter. I upped the contrast in the last pic so you can see the white better.
Step 10 :
BLEND BLEND BLEND. Blend the white out into the other colors. but not to much you still want that outer corner to be dark.
Step 11:
Use a wet wipe or a bit of make-up remover and carefully wipe away any fall out you might have on your cheeks then apply some concealer. For someone like me who has very thin skin ... concealer is a must. If you don't have dark under eye circles you can skip this step if you want. Apply under the eyes and then using the ring finger tap tap tap until all of the concealer is blended in. Tap down wards a towards your cheeks so that the color blends best.
Step 12:
Mascara! My favorite make-up product. I never leave the house without some on. Ok so I like to wipe the tip of my mascara brush on a piece of paper because it always gets that big glob of mascara on the end which I ened up getting on my nose. =.= The reason I applied my concealer first is because I personally find it easier to apply concealer when I don't have to worry about getting any on my lashes. Remember to wiggle your brush a bit as you bring it up to get the mascara on smoother. Also start all the way from the base of your lashes.
Step 13:
I mixed some of my foundation with some moisturizer on the back of my hands then warmed it up between my palms and applied it just with my hands onto my face. I have a lot of freckles and so forth and I don't really like to hide them to much because it ends up looking sorta freaky. The point is to just even out skin tone. If you want to do a different sort of foundation feel free :D
Then set it with some powder:
Step 14:
Apply a bit of bronzer under your cheek bone. If you don't know where it is make a fish face (where you suck your cheeks in) and feel with your fingers until you find it. Then just apply directly under.
If you get to much on don't worry! Just get a tissue and with circular motions buff some off.
Step 15:
Apply a bit of colored chap stick and your done! Strike a pose for the camera : D Not the same pose as my though D : I wanted to look down so you'd see the eye make-up
Weee! My post is finally done! Next time : D I'll do a bright light and pink eye make-up!
Ohyeah! I was trying to strike a manly pose but I just look weird :c Quite a bit like a man though LOL Mission accomplished!
Step 4:

And its always a dark color D : ) Any who just use a wet wipe to clean if up! : D Problem solved! or a little bit of make-up remover if your concealer isnt on yet
