Catwalk Palette Tutorial

Anastasia Beverly Hills sent me their new catwalk palette last week and I finally got a chance to put the tutorial together. These coral and plum colors are probably my favorite colors that I like to wear on a daily basis.

1. Apply letter “b” color all over your lid, make sure to get your inner corner of your eye and your highlight (right below your brow bone)

2. Take letter “b” color and your going to place it on the inner and outer corner of your eye using a pencil brush.

3. Using a blending brush take the letter “A” color and brush it across your crease blending all the colors together.

4. You want to use a black eyeliner in your waterline, then take letter “E’ and smoke out the color right below your lower lash line, then blend letter “d” right below the black to soften up the look.

5. Deepen the inner and outer crease applying letter “E’ and line your lash line with an angle brush and letter “e” shadow.

6. Apply house of lashes Pixie Luxe to your lash line.

Dont forget to shape and shade your brows using anastasia beverly hills pro palette.

Then you have your final look!

Romantic Eye

1. On a bare lid apply an eye shadow base primer all over your lid, I used the color painterly, This will help keep your eyeshadow from crease and also will intensify the color of the eyeshadow.

2. Using a blending brush apply coral eyeshadow from MAC Pro store directly into your crease.

3. On the outer corner of your eye, right above and below your lash line apply cranberry eyeshadow from MAC using a flat eyeshadow brush.

4. Using an angle brush I lined my eyes using a dark brown eyeshadow, espresso from MAC, using eyeshadow creates a softer liner making it look more romantic. Don’t forget to line right below your lower lash line as well.

5. Now apply your favorite lash, I used House of Lashes, Noir Fairy.

Above are different angles for this romantic look.

Have a wonderful Day!

Tutorial Thursdays

If you guys have been following me i LOVE doing colored eye shadow looks that are wearable.

I also applies 2 different lashes to the same look so you can see the difference between a dramatic lash and a natural lash.

1. Apply an eyeshadow base all over your lid. I used painterly from MAC. This is a good base that you can use with any eye shadow color.

2. Take a black shadow, I used The black shadow from the Naked2 palette from Urban Decay but you can use any brand you have. Create a V shape at the outer corner of your eye.

3. With a blending brush apply a soft brown shadow to blend the colors together. I used texture from MAC.

4. Now with a flat brush apply Parrot Shadow from MAC right next to the black shadow. Note: apply only to the bottom half of your lid, don’t go above the crease.

5.Usng a dark black kohl pencil apply it to your waterline. I used Smolder from MAC.

6. Then create a winged eyeliner using urban decays 24/7 liquid eyeliner, perversion.

7. Apply Lashes to your lash line. In the photo above I used Double up Lashes #205 from Ardell Lashes.

Im using more of a Natural Lash on the photo below.

These are the lashes used in the photo above, I LOVE that they have more lashes on the end of the lash. Ardell Lashes Edgy #401

And for those of you who ask what colors I use on the Anastasia Pro Palette. I use the darker color on the “dark brown” combo to line the bottom part of my brow and the darker color on the “strawburn” combo to fill in my brow.

Tutorial Tuesdays!

Hello Ladies and Gents!!

I posted this look on my instagram a few days ago for my Mothers Day Look,

I finally have time to write out what I used.

1. After applying a shadow primer all over your lid you are going to want to use Naked Pigment from MAC right below your brows.

2. Using a blending brush you are going to want to softly brush Saddle from MAC across your crease.

3. Then you are going to highlight the center of your lid with Naked Pigment using a flat brush.

4. With a pencil brush, take sketch eyeshadow from MAC and brush it across your lower lid right below your lash line. You can also blend into your water line like I did or you can use a brown eyeliner.

5. Using Urban Decay Cosmetics liquid eyeliner, extend the liner past your lid creating a winged liner. Then Apply bombshell lashes from House of Lashes.
