I started off this look with Urban Decay's Primer Potion, all over the lids and up into my brows - I've noticed this helps my brow pencil and powder to stay on better. So I my first shadows were a mix between chopper and half baked from the Naked 2 palette- I packed this mix onto the lid. I then took a mix of busted and tease into the crease and blending slightly up, and then to darken the outer V I took a tiny amount of blackout - also from the Naked 2 palette and worked it carefully in--it can easily get out of hand, so use a light touch! I highlighted with foxy from the Naked 2 palette which is a matte cream color..you don't want ALL shimmer on the eyes at the same time--and most of those previous shadows were shimmer. I filled in my brows with a pencil, then set it with a powder using an angled liner brush for precise application. I took a black liquid liner and lined my upper lash line and took it out and created a nice wing. I finished off the eyes with a curling mascara.
I moved on to the face and used a primer to start out--always use a good base--it will help the rest of your makeup go on really nice and last much longer. So after I applied my primer I would apply my foundation with a stippling brush-buffing it into the skin. Then concealed my blemishes and under my eyes (damn those dark circles!) with my concealor. I lay it down with a brush first, then pat it in to the skin...using your hands will warm up the product more and allow it to blend easier (some days I even skip the brush all together). I set everything with my Mac studio fix foundation and a big fluffy brush. I followed that up with my blush on the apples of the cheeks and a quick bit of lipstick. The following are pictures of the final look and followed by a list of all the products used. Thanks for checking back in and I look forward to continuing this blog!
