Here is my first Holiday tutorial! I hope you like the look :)
Merry Christmas Beauties!
FACE
- I moisturized with Benefits‘ Total Moisture
- DuWop concealer in Teak and Caryl Baker Visage concealer in Medium
- MAC Match Master foundation in 4.0 applied with MAC #190
- Blush is MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Peachy Keen applied with MAC #168
- Contour with MAC Powder Blush in Harmony applied with Crown Brush blending fluff
EYES
- Lancome Aquatique Waterproof Eyeshadow Base in Nude
- NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese
- With a MAC #239 (flat, stiff brush) I pat Smashbox Masquerade palette in White (bottom row, far white) all over my eyelids
- With the same brush (#239), I pat Sleek Make-Ups’ Caribbean palette in Bloody Mary (orange-red) about 3/4 of my lid
- With a MAC #217 (round, fluffy blending brush), I picked up second eyeshadow on the top row (reddish-brown) of Sleek Make-Ups’ i-Divine Sunset palette and applied it over Bloody Mary
- Then, with a Crown Brush round crease (a tiny, soft, round crease brush), I applied Sleek Make-Ups’ Caribbean palette in Espresso (charcoal black) to the outer-v, brushing up into the crease. It’s okay if the lines are harsh, it’s a cutcrease look and we can blend it later.
- Once Espresso is as dark as you desire, blend with MAC #217. Careful not to get any on your lid. If you have some fallout on the lid, pat on the reddish-brown shadow with the MAC #239.
- At this point, the white on the inner corner may have changed color. I used the Sleek Make-Up Caribbean palette in Martini (white shimmer) to brighten it up.
- Blend out any harsh lines with an eyeshadow that is close to your natural skintone. I used MAC pigment in Naked with a clean MAC #217. Blend in a windshield wiper motion.
- With a smudge brush, smudge Espresso and the reddish-brown shadow on your lower lash line.
- I used Lancome Cils Booster XL as a mascara base and then applied Femme Coutures’ Monster Lash mascara, generously
