Shimmery Brown with a Pink Lip

This is great for making you look awake, fresh and put-together.

products and tools:
Fascinating and Teddy eye kohls, eyeshadows in Shroom, Soft Brown, Espresso, and Copperplate (not shown in steps, optional for lower lashline), Pink Bouquet lip liner, Speak Louder lipstick and Slicked Pink Lip gelee. All products are by MAC, except for Pink Bouquet Lip Liner from Avon.

The same brushes that were used for the purple look were also used for this look, and for the same uses: lid colour, highlight, smudging, crease colour, blending, liner.

Start by priming your lids:
Apply and blend Teddy eye kohl, or any brown eyeliner, above upper lash line.
Apply Shroom eyeshadow to inner half of lid and under brow bone.
Apply Soft Brown eyeshadow on outer half of lid, crease and slightly above.
Espresso eyeshadow in crease.
Apply white eyeliner on lower waterline.
Add Mascara, a little bit of brown on lower lashline if you'd like, and you're done! Vo

For the finishing touch, add your favourite pink lipstick.
If you'd like to see anything specific as a tutorial, I need requests!

Purple Smokey Eye

My first picture tutorial! wooooott! Any suggestions of what I could include that I haven't, tutorials you'd like to see, things I could do differently, etc, would be awesome.
Here's what we're doing:


Products and tools:MAC Painterly Paint Pot as base, MAC Smolder Eye Kohl, NYX Eyeshadow in "Prune", MAC eyeshadows in Fig. 1, Purple Haze, and Beautiful Iris (as inner corner highlight, not shown in steps, because it's optional)
Uses in order: lid colour, highlight, smudging, outer corner, blending, eyeliner.


Apply your base, and then black eyeliner just above your upper lashline.

Smudge!

Apply NYX "Prune" eyeshadow along the liner and inner corner.
MAC Fig. 1 eyeshadow in a "V" shape in your outer corner (along lash line, and in the crease).

MAC Purple Haze eyeshadow on the inner half of the lid, blending in with Prune and Fig. 1.

MAC Blacktrack Fluidline along lower waterline. Pull it down slightly at the outer corners.

Apply Prune along lower lid. Apply a highlight on your brow bone and an inner corner highlight if you want to, apply mascara, clean up any fallout, andddd you're done!

Hello

My name is Chelsea and some people have requested makeup tutorials from me. I am far too shy to make a video, and I don't have any software to put together pictures for a video, so I decided this might be the best approach. I have a short list of tutorials to start off with, but anybody can request whatever they would like anywhere in this blog and I'll get to it as soon as I can.
I hope whoever ends up seeing this blog enjoys the tutorials and whatever else may come of this.
