Christmas Star Make-up tutorial

Hi everyone,

I know I know its a bit late for a christmas tutorial but hey i'll put it up anyway because its pretty!

This a super cute and sparkly look



I primed my face with Avon Smooth Minerals liquid foundation in 'Ivory' and lined my eyes with Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliner in 'Blackest Black'. I then applied a silver but glittery eyeshadow powder (again you can use what brand you fancy) but i used Barry M Dazzle Dust eyeshadow in '4'. I dabbed on a generous amount as its more glittery than pigmented.



I took my pencil eyeliner and drew (from half way on the bottom of my lid) a left diagonal line to about half way up my lid and drew another diagonal line to the right and curved it round the top of my eye (making sure i followed the natural curve of the eye)then i went back the way i came and made a large flick. (If my instructions aren't as clear then use the picture to help you!) i then filled the outline in as seen in the pic.
The eyeshadow should kind of look leaf like.



When you fill in your outline you may think that its not crisp enough so do what i did, i took an eyeshadow brush and dabbed a bit of black eyeshadow over the top of the eyeliner and because the eyeliner is a bit moist it holds the shadow in place.



I then made my eyebrows nice and big. I used Avon Glimmersticks Eyebrow Definer in 'Dark Brown'. I applied a light amount of blusher in downward strokes and for my lips i rubbed a bit of irridescent eyeshadow from Miss Sporty which i don't know the name of, yet!!



thanks for looking! ^__^

Tropical Cocktail

Hi,

Here is a super short tutorial for some fruity party eyes :)



I started off with priming my face with a light layer of Avons new liquid foundation (see at the end) 'Smooth Minerals' in Ivory. I applied a thick layer of Avon 'Glimmersticks Eyeliner' in Blackest Black. Apply your first green colour to the inner corner of your eyes, I used MAC 'Bitter' and i packed quite a bit on.



I added a thick swoosh of Barry M 'Dazzle Dust' eyeshadow in No 82, which is a shimmery aqua colour, (I made my flicks quite large)blend the two colours together in the middle. I have also applied some more eyeliner.



I'm not too sure if you can see this well but i have added dash of yellow to the inner corner of my eye (so it slightly goes onto the side of my nose)and also on the top of the curved part of the swoosh. You can use any bright yellow, Collection 2000 have a bright colourful palette which has a nice yellow but i used a MAC eyeshadow which i think was in "Primary Yellow".
I finished off with a few applications of Avon SuperShock mascara in Black (shown below) and some more eyeliner! As you can never have enough eyeliner!!!
