Madd Tutorial 14

This tutorial was born out of the first one I photographed coming out waaay too blurry, so I decided to do some evening playing around with my makeup and came up with this little gem! Enjoy<3

Be sure to start your eye off with the usual base + Awesome Sauce (or just base if you do not have Awesome Sauce)

The brushes I use for this are: Angled - Crease - Pencil - Blending





















The starting color for this look is Lain.
Using my pencil brush I patted Lain from the duct to the beginning part of the iris, along the bottom lash line and half way into the crease.













Second color used - Mondo.
Using the pencil brush pat Mondo right along side all inner parts of Lain, on the lid, right below the crease, and slightly past the end of the iris. Once you have the color patted on use the blending brush and pull Lain over Mondo and blend using a sweeping motion towards Mondo.
I also ended up covering up Lain with Mondo on the top and bottom. So you can just pat some Mondo over Lain and blend to get the look I came up with or leave it as is.













Third color used - Ruby.
Use the angled brush and pat Ruby on over the end portion of Mondo and into the crease over lapping Lain. Take the crease brush and blend Lain/Mondo and Ruby together.













Last color I used is Goathead Redd.
Pat Goathead Redd on the very end right next to Ruby, use the angled brush to pull into the crease taking it all the way over to Mondo/Lain and along the bottom lash line blending with Lain/Mondo. Take the crease brush and blend LIGHTLY (if you do it with a heavy hand it will get washed out). Blend Ruby and Goathead Redd by pulling Ruby towards Goathead Redd.














You will probably need to add more Mondo and Ruby to get the desired saturation. I ended up using about three layers of color to get this coloration.

Add some liner, I chose to do a slight wing followed by mascara and you're done!

Madd Tutorial 13

So I picked up Mo's birthday collection last week and just now decided to break into it =)
I only used one of the colors out of the five, but boy oh boy is it a gorgeous blue <3

Illuminati - Pants off Dance off! - Curiouser & Curiouser

For this look I used:
NYX - eyeshadow base in white & MSC's Awesome Sauce

Pencil brush by War Paint & Blending brush by ELF

Colors:
Illuminati


Take Illuminati and pat on your eye lid from the duct to about the middle of the lid and to the middle of the lower lash line. You can blend out the edge if desired.

Pants off Dance off!

Play Pants off Dance off! slightly over the edge of Illuminati and take it almost to the end of the lid. With your blending brush pull Illuminati over Pants off Dance off! using a light sweeping motion blend together.

Curiouser & Curiouser

Place Curiouser & Curiouser on the last portion of the eye lid and lower lash line. Blend with your blending brush by first pulling Curiouser & Curiouser over Pants off Dance off! and then adding a little more Pants off Dance off! 




Don't you just hate it when you *think* you've applied your eyeliner flawlessly then take a picture and realize that it's a small train wreck?!?! LOL

Madd Tutorial 12

Here is one of my "get out the door quickly" looks I do at least once a week.
It's simple and fast, but still pretty!
I also only used one brush(my pencil brush) for this look.


Darker silver from the UiS collection

Pat on from the duck to pretty much anywhere near the center and pull up into the crease, almost towards the end of the lid. Also, apply along the bottom lash line, stopping in the center.

Yummy Grape Fizz! I love this purple <3

Pat on the end of the lid and pull towards the center, into the crease mixing with the silver. Apply along the bottom lash line as well . Make sure to leave a "V" shaped area for the center color.

Such an odd pretty color!

Pat Horror Galore right in the center of the "V" shape that is left blank and simply swipe from left to right and lightly blend with the UiS and Grape Fizz. I added a little more Grape Fizz after applying Horror Galore.

Madd Tutorial 11

If I remember correctly it was about 2 weeks ago that Mo put out the new Dr.Who inspired mattes.
I received three of them on Monday and figured I would play around with them and came up with this lovely look.

A good base is important when using mattes =)
I like using Awesome Sauce with mattes especially, because I feel it helps them become more saturated.

Hallucinogenic Lipstick

Pat HL on from the duct to around the middle portion of the iris. Then sweep it into the crease and lower lash line

 Weeping Angel
(I made this darker to show more of the actual color. Flash did not want to capture this correctly)

River Song

Apply on WA  to the outer lid area sweeping it into the crease and also along the lower lash line. Blend with HL in the crease and lower lash line.
Pat RS right in the center of the lid use a sweeping motion to blend and over the base that is still showing. Use the sweeping technique to to pull WA over RS and HL over RS. You may need to build up RS a little bit to make it a tad brighter.


Add liner and mascara and you have a awesome Dr.Who eye!

Madd Tutorial 10

I can't believe I just woke up! Summer  time makes my schedule all wonky =/
Anywho, today I have for you a G O R G E O U S jewel tone look!

    Make Believe - She Bop - Charlie In The Box

My two favorite brushes
Pencil and blending

First up after you've applied your primer and base is Charlie In The Box

Pat on from the duct to just a little past the begging of the iris and blend out so that the line edge is smooth. Next take Charlie up into the crease,but not all the way to the end, again blend until the edge is smooth. Also, apply along the first half of the bottom lash line.

Make Believe is next. 

Pat on Make Believe to the outer most portion of the eye lid, stopping were the iris ends, be sure to smooth out the edge by the iris. Bring the color up into the crease and the lower lash line then blend lightly with Charlie. 

She Bop
This pink is SO bright!

Pat She Bop right smack dab in the middle of Charlie In The Box and Make Believe,but not in the crease. Start pulling SB (with a sweeping motion) towards CiTB as soon as you have it right on the edge of CiTB start to pull CiTB over SB until it starts to look like a light purple and blend so the it looks uniform. Once that is done use the same technique on MB and SB. Use a blending brush and run it over top the center of the lid to blend the colors more and to take away some of SB brightness.

Final Product =)

Madd Tutorial 9

I've been wanting to go to the beach lately,but it's just been too hot!
 Instead, I decided to do a tropical Caribbean waters look.

First you will need some beautiful green & teals. 
I used:
Snot Face

T-Birds

Ribbons

I used my pencil brush & blending brush

(splitting the eyelid into three sections) 
Pat Snot Face on the first portion of the eyelid and along the bottom lash line until it is opaque

Next, pat T-Birds on the middle portion of eyelid also, overlapping Snot Face and blend Snot face into T-Birds
(for me T-Birds show up pretty sheer so be sure to build it up a little)

Pat Ribbons on the last portion of the eyelid making sure to overlap T-Birds. Blend T-Birds into Ribbons. Also, apply Ribbons along the lower lash line blending with Snot Face

Finish up with your favorite liner and mascara 


Thank you for taking the time to look at this tutorial!
Have a super day =D
