[Tutorial] Make-up: Sexy Grey
What???? Me? Doing a make-up tutorail????? EHHHHHHHHH?.... Well it was for the sake of not let myself die out of boredom.... XD
How to Make-Up! Sexy Grey Eyes
Something I’m very proud of, are my eyes. So for my make-up, they are always main “bento” XD, my make-up is always focused on my eyes. It IS very rare of me to show myself without make-up... but I did it for the sake of a good before and after XD....
What you will need
- Foundation and concealer
- Loose powder and a dark powder (one that goes well with your skin color for shadowing)
- 2 different blush colors, light pink for highlights and a darker one for cheeks.
- A grey shadows palette
- Lip pencil or lipstick and gloss.
- I bet this make-up looks great with circle eye lenses. I sadly don’t have them so… But if you do, you go girl!!!
Always start with clean face and apply moisturizer!! If you have make-up primer better.
Foundation and Concealer
- Apply foundation evenly. The best way is to applying in main spots of you face (nose, forehead, chin, cheeks) and then blend from the center (starting from nose, forehead), to outside (cheeks, yaw, etc.).
- Concealer: cover those dark circles under the eyes (this is a serious problem I have =_=), red spots (like that under my nose), and any flaws you find. Also, if it’s a light concealer can be used as a highlighter for you nose and chin.
Loose Powder and shadowing
- Apply loose powder all over you face, don’t forget to remove the excess from the brush for better and more natural results.
- Using a darker powder (somewhat brownish color), add some shadow to the side of your face and the yawline (Like shown in the pictures). This helps to make your face look thinner. (You can add the same color for the side of your nose to make it look thinner and pointier).
Eye make-up
I recommend applying a neutral/beige shadow first as base for your eye’s make-up. If you have eye base better.
Now... on with the shadows.
- Apply the light grey (A) shadow all over your eyelid. I combined A with *D (the blue shadow) because I wanted it to look more blueish, great if your gray palette is already somewhat blue, if not, it’s still ok ^_^
- With B draw a thick line near your eyelashes.
- I added a little bit of black eyeshadow just for the corner of the eye. To strat lining it
- With a black pencil, eyeline your eyes, from the out coner (where it should be thicker) to the inside, making it thinner as you go. You can add a flick at the end.
- Extra: If you want, you can use liquid eyeliner over the pencil. It stays longer that way. If you feel the black line hides the dark grey (B), apply more B.
- With A, draw a line under your eyes near your lashes to brighten up your eyes.
- With B, line the outer corner of your eyes, just half of it.
- Finally with C make your eyes look bigger by applying it near your tear ducts.
Mascara
- Apply mascara. Always wait a few seconds between layers.
- (I don’t curl my lashes, but if you do, do it before applying mascara).
We’re done with the eyes!!
Cheeks
- With a light pink blush (A), add some highlight. Cheek bones, chin, nose and if you want to forehead.
- Add pink blush (B) to you cheek. Smile and apply ^________^
Lips
- After applying some lip balm, add lip primer or base to even the color, allowing you to redraw your lip line.
- I’m using a pink lip pencil for my lips.
- Apply lip gloss… and we’re done!!
The result:
Waaaah!!! That was a lot of work. Hope you enjoyed it.
