I have had the idea for this look for a long while. I think I was holding off because I wanted to wear it for a fun occasion, but I always forgot when something came up. So it ended up being a boring Wednesday makeup look where no one saw it except me and my hubby. He didn't like it. The turd! ;-)
Click below for the tutorial!
For a while now I've been using Coastal Scents Synthetic Brushes and I LOVE them! So I'll mention which brushes I used through out the tutorial.
Any part where you see me using the same brush more than once, I always
wipe any excess shadow off of the brush before applying a new shadow. I
use cloth diapers as my brush cleaner/wiper, rather than being wasteful
and using tissue paper. I always completely clean my brushes between
each makeup look that I do (using Cinema Secrets brush cleaner), to keep
them clean and to avoid color transfer.
Start by applying your favourite eye primer. I used Coastal Scents
Shadow Worx Eye Primer. Then apply a very sticky base (Sobe's Stick It!,
Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy or Darling Girls Cosmetics Glitter Glue all work
great).
Apply MC - Axe To Grind to the outer 1/2 of crease, with CS's
Classic Shadow Angle Synthetic Brush.
Apply MC - Alchemy to the lid and inner crease, with CS's
Classic Synthetic Blender Brush by patting and sweeping outward.
Apply MC - Guinevere to the inner V with CS's Classic Detail Pointed Synthetic Brush by patting and sweeping outward.
Apply MC - Alchemy to the lower lash line, with CS's Classic Liner Medium Synthetic Brush.
Apply MC - Axe To Grind to the outer lower lash line, with CS's Classic Liner Medium Synthetic Brush.
Using CS's Classic Shadow Large Synthetic brush, apply a skin tone
shadow or use a powder foundation to blend and soften any harsh edges.
Mix MC - Lapis Lazuli with Darling Girl Cosmetics Rockstar Serum with a thin liner brush and apply to the upper lash line and wing out.
Mix Medusa's Makeup Glitter - MoonWalk with Darling Girl Cosmetics Glitter Glue and apply on top of blue liner with a thin eyeliner brush.
Apply 1-2 coats of black mascara to the lashes to complete the look.
For the rest of what is on my face:
