Tutorial Attempt

The pics I zoom in on get a bit blurry. I'll try to explain as much as I can to compensate for the shiteous pictures.

This is gonna be a pretty basic cut crease look. No matter what or how many colors I use, the application is pretty much the same...maybe just more time consuming because of blending more colors together.

I think the most important part of this is the transition color. It can look fine if the black is well blended into the main color, but I like it better when there is another color in between. I just use a color that's darker than the main color.

Highlight under brow...I'm using Milani.
1

Apply main color on lid...go a little above your crease. I'm using a lightish pink.
2

Throughout the rest of this I'll be using the mini contour brush from Coastal Scents. I love how tiny it is; I have more control over where I want the e/s to go.
3

Put black e/s into your crease. I make a pretty dark line since it's going to be blended out.

Not blended yet
5

Blend the top and bottom of the black line to soften the edges
6

Apply red or fuschia over the edges where the black e/s ends on the top and bottom. This way there will be a gradient from light pink/fuschia/black.

Just applied, not blended yet

Go ahead and blend the harsh edges if you like. I don't blend at any particular time, sometimes I wait until I'm almost finished and sometimes I blend as I go.

Apply black from the outer corner of your eye to the end of the black in your crease. I do this since I don't like to leave the black line in the crease just hanging there at the end. This looks more complete to me. Blend it inward a tiny bit.

Just applied, not blended yet

Apply shadow to the bottom lashline and finish whatever blending you haven't done. On the lower lashline I put the light pink on the inner half, the fuschia on the outer half, and a little black over the fuschia.

Eyeliner, mascara or falsies, then done!

After liner, no falsies yet

Finished...notice how clear this is compared to the zoomed in close up pics. I wish those came out like this one.

I threw on jewelry and a head band to look a little more put together...I was actually in my workout clothes. Decent from the neck up, sloppy everything else :D. I just washed the makeup off and got on the elliptical.

Gotta get that bikini body :P

I'll do a better tutorial when I'm actually getting ready to go out. It's a little sloppy since I was just going to wash it off right away.

I finally got to wear my new brown shoes. My outfit today...

The skirt is loose at the waist. I can't wear a belt with it since it will just bunch up.

  3. Yeah, I did everything after the main lid color with the mini contour brush. It works just fine for blending since it's not stiff.
