SMOKEY yellows & greens

here's a really fun look!!

u can never go wrong with smokey eyes, i'm pretty sure everybody loves wearing it as much as i do -- the usual smokey eyes with black&grey.. or with dark colors. why not with bright colors right????

APPLYING LIGHTEST COLOR TO DARKEST IS SOMETHING I ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND WHENEVER I'M DEALING WITH MULTIPLE COLORS... FOR BLENDING PURPOSES. ALSO WHEN THE COLORS OVERLAP, THE LIGHTEST WILL BE UNDERNEATH ALL THE DARKER COLORS... GOOD FOR GRADIENT EFFECT, HENCE - GOOD MAKE UP APPLICATION.

ONE SECRET IN CREATING MAKEUP LOOKS... IS..... WELL BLENDED HARSH LINES. MAKE IT A HABBIT TO BLEND OUT THE HARSH LINES FOR EVERY COLOR YOU APPLY... WORKED FOR ME :)


SO BLEND BLEND BLEND LADIES...


APPLY PRIMER/CREAM COLOR BASE

a white color base (or white eyeliner) is also good under bright colors!!

APPLY A HIGHLIGHT COLOR UNDER UR BROWS

mac "shroom" e/s

APPLY AN ORANGE COLOR ON THE CREASE WITH A FLUFFY BLENDING BRUSH
(don't be afraid to pass the crease cuz this will be the color between your highlight color and your darker crease color)

mac "rule" e/s (#224 brush)

PAT ON A BRIGHT YELLOW ON THE INNER 1/3rd OF THE LID

mac "chrome yellow" e/s (#242 or #239)

using the same brush... LIME GREEN ON THE MIDDLE

mac "bitter" e/s

then on the outer 1/3rd of your lid... APPLY A DARKER GREEN

mac "landscape green" pigment
(with pigments a damp brush is recommended, i sprayed my brush with mac FIX+)

APPLY A DARK COLOR OF YOUR CHOICE on the CREASE (BLACK WILL DO)

THIS IS MY FAVORITE CREASE COLOR CUZ IT'S NOT AS INTENSE AND IT WORKS WELL WITH ANY COLOR!!

mac "sketch" e/s (#226 brush)

BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND

... if you feel like you're losing certain color while blending, re-apply a minimal amount at a time.......

GO ON WITH YOUR LOWER LASH LINE.. apply same colors in the same order as your lid WITH A PENCIL BRUSH

chrome yellow -- bitter -- landscape green - sketch

THEN COMPLETE YOUR LOOK WITH BLACK EYELINER, MASCARA AND NEUTRAL LIPCOLOR...

SIMPLE RULE WITH DOING SMOKEY OR BRIGHT EYE MAKEUP IS TONING DOWN WITH EVERYTHING ELSE, MOST ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR LIPS....

My everyday look (day to night)

one of my favorite looks! colors are fun and exciting but i get lots of compliments with this look, mostly from my hubby :)

i love colors... don't get me wrong! but the only time i started rockin' bright colors is when i was introduced to mac, but before that i've acquired quite a few colorful eyeshadows from drugstore brands that that just ended up in trash.

From where i live good quality makeup is hard to find. it's either cheap (drugstore brands from kmart) or really expensive (DFS' tourist prices) nothing in between. Guam only has one mac counter (dfs). i used to shop there religously until they jacked up prices to about $10 more than the actual price back in the states about a year ago, ugh!! thanks to the website http://www.maccosmetics.com i'm strictly an online shopper for mac goodies nowadays. except when my husband and i visit his family in hawaii..

BUT this look can be achieved with whatever you have... it doesn't really require much pigmentation of the shadows, just a good primer/cream/base color, lightest-to-darkest color scheme, blending techniques and maybe about 10 minutes of your time...

so all you guam people, this one's for y'all!

EVERYDAY LOOK "WORK-TO-PLAY"

GUAM IS LOCATED CLOSE TO THE EQUATOR, YES.. IT'S ALWAYS FAIRLY HOT, HUMID, NEVER COLD. THE SUN CAN DO LOTS OF DAMAGE TO OUR SKIN.. SO PROTECT THEM LOVELY SKIN WITH SUNSCREEN or moisturizers with SPF!!!

let us begin................

STEP 1

MOISTURIZE


STEP 2

APPLY YOUR CHOICE OF FOUNDATION

I used my mineralized skinfinish (Medium Dark)

STEP 3

APPLY BASE FOR EYES

(scandalous shadow base)

any cream/shadow primer will work. this will help ur shadows to pop, not crease and last longer.

STEP 4

APPLY A COCOish/BRONZY COLOR ON CREASE WITH A FLUFFY BLENDING BRUSH

i used texture e/s (fave!!) with my mac #224

STEP 5

PACK IN LIGHTEST COLOR ON THE ENTIRE LID with a flat brush (mac#242)

this is my neutral pallette from www.coastalscents.com for about $20+shipping
(love love love!! a must-have!)

STEP 6

SWEEP IN DARKEST COLOR (dark brown) ON CREASE FOR DEPTH WITH A MEDIUM BLENDING BRUSH
(mac #217)

*don't forget to blend harsh lines but be careful not to blend all the colors together cuz it'll appear muddy*

STEP 7
APPLY A HIGHLIGHT COLOR ON THE BROWBONE

i used the same color for the lid

STEP 8

EYELINER

i used mac's BLACKTRACK gel liner with an angled brush (wing it if you like)

STEP 9

CURL UR LASHES AND APPLY MASCARA

covergirl lashblast in black

STEP 10

CONTOUR (optional) AND BLUSH

hollows of the cheeks : mac Emote blush with angled blush brush #168

highlight on the t-zone and top of cheekbones: mac msf "soft and gentle" brush #150

blush on the apples of the cheeks: mac "gingerly" brush#129

STEP 11

LIPLINER/LIPSTICK/GLOSS

lipliner: rimmel london "011 spice"

lipstick: mac "hugme"

gloss: mac vivaglam VI

but lately i've been just using a tinted lipconditioner and sheer gloss (mac pink fish & fastfriends.. i love those two together!)

RESULTS:

NOW TURNING THAT TO A NIGHT LOOK

... JUST ADD BLACK OR SOMETHING REALLY DARK ON THE OUTER "v" in small circular motions with a small tapered blending brush

MAYBE SOME FALSIES.. AND A LITTLE TOUCH UP...
UR GOOD TO GO!! GO GET EM'... :)

NOTE:
MAC BRUSHES ARE A LITTLE PRICEY BUT THEY WORK WONDERS, TRUST!
