I've got the BLUES

I'VE GOT THE BLUES...but in a good way!

This is how I did it 
*yes, after reading this over I realize I need to do videos or pic tutorials :-)*

Face:

Prime - Boots No. 7 Mattifying Makeup Base all over face 

Under eye - MallyBeauty Liquid Light Eye Brightner in Rich (seriously treats undereyes right and makes them super soft, you only need a little)

NYX Concealer Stick in Nutmeg (just a tiny bit, the brightner practically banishes the dark circles)

Foundation - BH Cosmetics Liquid Foundation (Ok, so its new and inexpensive so I was skeptical but DANG this stuff is great! Won't irritate sensitive skin, a little goes a long way and it doesn't oxidize to a yucky rust color) 

Contour - BH Cosmetics Contour and Blush Palette deep brown (hollows of cheeks and hairline)

Set - MallyBeauty Poreless Perfection Skin Finisher (do not be afraid of the single color, its a micro fine milled powder and just a touch will set your foundation to perfection)

Blush - NYX Powder Blush in Cocoa (I literally have to force myself to use other blush colors because I love this one sooooooo FREAKIN much!!!! It's universally flattering so no matter your skin tone you can rock it.)

LIPS:

Line - NK Lip Liner in Deep Brown (cover entire lip with liner, it helps hold the lipstick on longer)

Lipstick - NYX Extra Creamy Lipstick in Heather

Gloss - NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Miami Babe (not really needed by eh...why not!)

EYE:

Prime - Too Faced Shadow Insurance

(See Pic)

Crease - #1 Blend in well fluffy blending brush

Lid- #2 angled shadow brush, go over #2 w/ #3 same brush

Crease - Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral palette #9 (dark brown), crease brush (build your definition here,                        give the eye depth and blend upwards)

              Jenni Rivera palette from BH Cosmetics shimmering Navy, crease brush (this is where you give your smokey effect, concentrate in outer corner for a bit, blend inwards and upwards)

Brow Bone - #4, small shadow brush (blend well and down)

Inner corner - #5 small shadow brush

Liner - MallyBeauty Starlight Eyeliner in Midnight (upper water line, inner corner from end of lashes to tear duct. This will complete the line your lashes make and eliminate the need for liner across the lid which can take away from lid space.)

Bottom Liner - MallyBeauty Starlight Eyeliner in Sailor

Lashes - Lancome Hypnose Star lash primer on lash tips ONLY

              Lancome Hypnose Star mascara (build volume at base first, go over primed tips to color, then entire lash)

Bottom Lashes - Same mascara very light application 

Final Step to give you that awesome AIRBRUSHED look.....

MallyBeauty Evercolor Poreless Face Defender - it WILL keep your makeup in place, face matte and looking flawless for a good 10+ hours (well thats how long I have my makeup on minimum each day, after the 10 hours pass I could care less LOL)

Later Poptarts ~_^

Become An Illusionist 

 Having a the look of bigger eyes can make a face very appealing. A few small steps can take a simple look and amp it of knock-out! Once you've competed your shadow, follow these simple steps to boost your overall eye look [Don't wear shadow everyday? Try it anyway, still works wonders]: 

 1. Eyeliner can be a friend or foe. For an every day doe eyed look, skip lining the entire lid.  Use liner on the top from the outer corner to the middle (less is definitely more in this case, stop at the middle) of you upper lash line. Slim the line as you go, so your end result will be thicker on the outer corner and fade down. Follow by lining the bottom waterline from the outer corner into 1/4 to 1/2 of the lash line (use your discretion, it all depends on what you like so play with it). Once you've line the bottom waterline, squeeze your eye shut for a few seconds, this will transfer liner to the upper water line and give the base of your lashes a darker appearance.

 2. Follow with mascara. Start with the lower lashes, many of us look past this step but a little mascara on the bottom lash really helps when you want a full open eye. Move to the upper lashes, starting with curling the lashes (if needed) to open your eye even more. Begin applying mascara at the base and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle up. Remember to catch the inner lashes, and sweep the outer lashes outwards. This will fan out your lashes. Do a quick sweep over the top of the lashes as well, distributing color to the lash tips and covering and possible fall out from shadow. 

 3. Finally, use a highlighter, sparkle or just brighter shadow in the inner corner of you eye. Pull it across the bottom lash line slightly, I'd say about 1/4 towards the center. 

 4. Try to pull your gorgeous self away from the mirror...it'll be hard, but you can do it ~_^
