STEP 1: BROWS


First off I outline my brows and fill them in with wnw creme liner and light fill in the front with the dark liner in the elf eyebrow kit. I then carve out undeunderneath my brows with my maybelline concealer to clean them up.

STEP 2: EYES


I used several color to complete this look and two eyeshadow palettes. I started out by concealing my eyes with the maybelline concealer. Then apply eye primer on top. Eyeshadow time! I used the skin color from the nyx palette as my transition shade (1) all over my lid and crease. (A transition shades purpose is to help the other eyeshadows blend easier.) Next I took (2) from the ELF eyeshadow palette and put that in my outer corner in the crease not going in any further than my iris. Next I mixed (2) and (3) and went over the same area. Then I mixed (4) and (5) together and blended out the harsh edges. I repeated these two steps till I got my desired darkness and blended. Next I applied (6) on the lid and added (7) to the center of my lid. I highlighted my brow bone and inner corner with (8). Lastly i applied (2) and (3) under my lashline and blended it out with (4) and (5). Then i added a thin line of rimmel liquid liner and winged it out. I then measured my ELF lashes to my eyes and cut them to size and applied a thin layer of duo glue to the lash band let them sit for about 30 seconds then applied to my eyes as close to the lashline as I could get. Eyes are finished!

STEP 3: FACE


Lets start by priming my face with sheer envy by hard candy. As that absorbs into the skin I mixed about 2 pea size amount of concealer, 2 and a half pumps of my MAC prolongwear foundation and a nickle size amount of my L'Oreal true match foundation and mix them together. I use a brush first to apply to my face then use a wedge sponge to smooth out the brush strokes. Next i added another pea size amount of concealer and mixed it in with my foundation mixture and apply it under my eyes, middle of forehead, upper lip and chin. I used the same wedge sponge the blend them  out.

STEP 4: BLUSH, BRONZE, HIGHLIGHT AND FINISHING POWDER


I took my bronzer and applied it to under my cheekbones, temples and along my jawline. Next blush, I mixed both and put them on the apple of my cheeks and back to mesh with my bronzer. Finally i added my highlighterto the top of my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose, very tip of my nose, forehead, upper lip and chin. Lastly I applied rimmel stay matte powder with a sponge because I find using a brush makes it look cakey. 

STEP 5: LIPS


I wasn't feeling a ton of lipstick so i tapped on a bit of elfs seductive lipstick and then patted it out with my finger.

THIS COMPLETES THE LOOK. I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT!! COMMENT DOWN BELOW. DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW MY BLOG AND SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS.

Love Angelica.

Copper Eyes

Hey beauties this is my first tutorial. I'd love to know your thoughts and opinions on the post!



Copper eyes and pink lips!




How to acheive this look:

STEP 1: The brows
For my brows i like to use 2 products, the wet n' wild fergie gel liner in little black dress and elf's eyebrow kit in dark. I use an angle brush with little black dress to shape my brows and fill in the the middle to the outer tip. I then use the darkest shade to flick it through thr front. After i get my desired shape i then carve out my brow with concealer.

STEP 2: The eyes


First I start out by apply a thin layer of eye primer. I used Rimmel exaggerat undercover shadow primer.


I used 3 palettes to create this look:
•Nyx Paris in love - 05 Parisian Chic
•Elf's 32 natural eyeshadow palette
•Elf's 144 bright eyeshadow palette

I started with a shade close to my skin color (1) from nyx pallette as my transition shade then used a warm brown (2) from 32 shadow palette in my crease. I then took the copper shade (3) from the 144 palette and put it all over the lid. I then went back in with the warm brown (2) to blend out the copper (3). I then went back to the 144 palette and picked up the organge (4) and put it in my upper crease to blend the warm brown (2). I went back in the love in paris palette and picked up the sparkly dark brown (5) and with light pressure applied it to the outer crease but not going past the center of my eye. I used a cream color (6) from the nyx palette to highlight my brow bone.

Next I take my Rimmel Glam Eyes liquid liner and create my wing and then line my eyes. I then go back in with the copper color (3) and place it under my lower lash line and extend it to follow my winged liner. I blend that copper color softly out with the warm brown (2) color. Moving on to lashes i apply 2 coats of the wet n' wild mega impact on the upper and lower lashes then I add 2 coats of L'oreal Voluminous madcara. The eyes are complete!


STEP 3: Foundation


I start by applying my face primer, Hard Candy Sheer Envy primer. I let that absorb into my skin for about 5 minutes during that time I mix my foundation to get my perfect color. I start by twisting out some Maybelline Instant age rewind in neutralizer, then i take two pumps of my MAC Prolongwear foundatuon in NC 42 and lastly i pour some L'oreal True Match in N7 all on the back of my hand. I then use a brush to apply it to my face and next and then i take a wedge cosmetic sponge and bounce in to remove the brush strokes but not remove the product. This day i chose to go for dewy skin and did not to set my foundation but when i go for a matte look I use Rimmel stay matte pressed powder.


STEP 4: Bronzing, Blush and Highlight



I used my Wet n' Wild Color Icon in 740 Bikini Contest. I bronzed up my skin apply product to underneath my cheek bones, my temples and along my jawline.
Next I took my NYC Color Wheel mosaic face powder in 723A Pink Cheek Glow. I apply it on the apples of my cheek and back meshing with my bronzer.
Lastly I take my Elf Baked Highlighter in blush gem and place it on the top of my cheekbones and mixing with my blush then to my nose, chin and forehead. I then take a clean powder brush and mesh together the bronzer, blush and highlight so there are no harsh lines.


STEP 5: Lips


For lips a chose to use a medium pink lipstick. I used Elf's Essential lipstick in seductive. No lip liner. I appled it straight from the bullet to my lips.
