This was my Face of the Day. It's more of an Eye of the Day. The colours, particularly the green, absolutely refused to photograph properly! It was MAC's Bitter, so a really intense bright limey almost yellow green. I have every intention of editing this later, as it's rushed and poorly written.I used:
- Tarte ReCreate primer
- Benefit Lemon Aid
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- MAC Blanc Type
- MAC Too Dolly (LE) (*or MAC Aquadisiac)
- MAC Bitter
- MAC Deep Truth
- Urban Decay Dashiki (*MAC Freshwater works well, too)
- MAC Nylon
- Gosh eyeliner
- Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Electric
- MAC Feline eyeliner
- Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Liner
- MAC False Lashes Extreme Black
- MAC Embark
- Revlon PhotoReady Airbrush in "Vanilla"
- Physician's Formula Peach-to-Glow
- L'Oreal HIP gloss in "480 - Snazzy"
- Tarte Smooth Operator powder
- After moisturizing, apply Tarte ReCreate primer to your face
- Apply UDPP to your eyelids and lower lash line
- Apply concealer if needed (I applied Benefits Lemon Aid to my under eye, and red areas)
- Use a big fluffy brush to apply MAC Blanc Type from your lash line up to your brows
- With a short, stiff shading brush pack on MAC Too Dolly (L.E. from the Hello Kitty, Winter '08/'09, Too Dolly quad) onto your eyelids. You could use MAC Aquadisiac (teal blue)- I don't have it but I would have preferred it for this look.
- Load Bitter (a super bright snotty green) onto your pencil brush (MAC 219) and tap off the excess. Apply this to your crease. First with a stippling motion, then work in with a windshield wiper motion. You want this to peak just above the crease.
- Next, you'll apply Nylon (a frosted pale gold) to the brow bone area with a big fluffy brush, using it to blend the Bitter up, and blend the edges away. You won't so much be blending the Too Dolly and Bitter together. You want those colours to be defined.
- Use an angle brush (my MAC 266) or an eyeliner brush to apply Dashiki (a medium sky blue with a hint of teal) from the inside corner of the upper lashline out. You want to keep this close to the lashes, but not so tight that the black liner will cover it
- Then you'll pick up Deep Truth with the same brush and apply it from the outer corner of the upper lash line, about half way in, blending it into Dashiki in the middle
- Tightline with your liquid liner (I used Stila Stay All Day)
- Take Gosh Let's Twist eyeliner (a bright snotty green, equivalent to Bitter) and apply it it generously (so that when you apply your black it will peek through,) from the inside corner of your waterline, half way across
- and Urban Decay in Electric on the outside, slightly blending them in the middle with an angle or liner brush, exactly as we did with Dashiki and Deep Truth
- Apply MAC Feline (a creamy super black eyeliner) working from the outer corner, tapering half way in
- Slick on a coat or two of mascara (MAC False Lashes Extreme Black)
- Using a big fluffy brush (MAC 187), apply Peach-to-Glow to the apples of your cheeks
- I swept on some L'Oreal HIP in "Snazzy", using the peach side(it's a duo, and they're really pigmented and have a great sheen. These are actually really good!)
- Set it with powder and a powder brush (I used Tarte Smooth Operator and MAC 187)
- Fill in brows with an angle brush and MAC Embark, or whatever colour suits your brows (which I did way earlier and forgot to mention. I do brows first. It makes an excellent frame for the rest of your makeup)
