Tutorial: Orange Earthy Eyes

I have moved my blog! It is now located at www.rebeccashoresmua.com/ check my Index of Post to see my posts that are on this website and follow me on Bloglovin so you can see my new posts!




I am back to blogging every Friday. I got really sick over the past month which took a toll on my blog and youtube. I am getting a new batteries for my mic so as of right now I don't have any new videos coming, unfortunately. The mic on my camera is not the best quality and it makes it hard to hear what I am saying and you can hear the auto focus, so I will be waiting until I have my external mic up and running before making new videos so no quality will be lost. 



I posted this look on a social media site and got asked for a tutorial so here it is.

Start out with priming your eye and sweeping a shadow that is close to your skin color from the crease to the brow. I am using Lorac primer and MAC blanc type for this step.

Using The Balm - Matt Rosen put it in and just about your crease and blend.

Using The Balm - Matt Garcia on place it in the outer half of the crease.

Blend.

Blend.

Use MAC Embark to add more  definition and place in in the outer third of the crease.

Blend.


Place Pixi Epoxy all over the lid, you can use any sticky base.

Pat Shiro - Girl on Fire all over the pixi epoxy.

At this point you can also add a copper glitter on top of girl on fire.

Make sure to cover the whole lid with the pigment.

Here I've finished concealing after wiping away all the fall out. I do my concealing after I apply loose pigments.

Run MAC Rule halfway under the lash line.

Add a bit of The Balm Matt Garcia.

Blend.

Add winged liner.

I set my liner with MAC Carbon.


Line your waterline with a nude liner and tightline using black.

Curl your lashes and add mascara.

Tutorial: Stevie Nicks Inspired

This tutorial is based on a photo of Stevie Nicks and goes out to Nicole of Prettygirlscience.com who requested it. I ended up basing my makeup and photographing this tutorial they day she showed me the photo, since I hadn't put on my makeup for the day yet. It isn't something I would typically wear, due to my features, but it was fun to recreate.


Prime your lids. I am using Urban Decay Primer Potion.

I applied Fresh Minerals in Twisted Mind to my lid. (I got this forever ago at a Fred Meyer in Oregon & I don't know if it's still sold.) This is a loose shadow that is a light shimmery tan color, close to MAC Pigment in Naked).

Sweep an eyeshadow color close to your skin tone from the crease to the brow. I am using MAC Blanc Type.

Apply Urban Decay Naked from the crease to halfway to the brow with a tapered brush (Simga E35).

Apply The Balm Matt Garcia right above the crease and along the lower lash line & make a nice point where they meet. I am using a Simga E35 for this step.

Blend the edges.

Run The Balm Matt Rosen from the inner corner of the crease and blend in and over the Matt Garcia.

Blend.

Take a Sigma E45 and MAC Typographic and place it in the crease.

Blend upwards.

Take a pencil brush and run MAC carbon under the lashline.

Using an angled brush, apply black gel liner half way across the lid.

Run a little bit under the lash line, too.

Take a pencil brush with MAC Carbon and smudge it into the gel liner.

Blend.

Dab on a touch more of the Twisted Mind pigment in the center of the lid.

Highlight the inner corner with MAC Shroom.

Highlight the browbone with MAC Mylar.

Then tightline with black and line the waterline with a nude liner. Follow up with curling your lashes and adding some black mascara.

So, now we're going to the finish the rest of the face. I have foundation on and it's powdered, but here I will show you how I am applying my blush.

Contour lightly along the cheekbone. I am using MAC Sculpt.

Apply MAC Dessert Rose along the cheek bone and blend well toward the center of your face.

Add MAC Salsarose right under your cheekbone, where you would normally contour.

Use a natural fiber brush and blend upwards.

Contour your forehead and jawline lightly and highlight the top of your cheek bones.



In the picture I was referencing, Stevie had a brown-red lip. I used Clinique Spiced Apple, since it was the closest I had.

Here's the finished look.
