Look at these pretty tulips I bought!! Spring!

The Daily Face - April 5, 2012 - Pinks

under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325

eyeshadow: NARS Eyeshadow in Ashes to Ashes, Illamasqua Pure Pigment in Berber

eyeliner: NARS Liquid Eye Pen

eye brows: MAC Brow Pencil in Fling

eye lashes: MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara

For this look I used a combination of purpley-grays and golden pinks, an unusual color palette that somehow works together.

I started by blending NARS Ashes to Ashes to the lid from lashline to above the crease.  You want to be able to see the color above the crease when your eyes are open, but make sure to blend thoroughly up toward the brow so there are no hard lines. 

Next I applied Berber, the Illamasqua pure pigment with the small flat brush to the outer corners of the lower lid.  Pigments should be applied lightly at first since they can be very bright.  You can always add more if you desire a brighter look.

Then I blended a small amount of the pigment in the corner of the top lid.  This should add a little brightness to the Ashes to Ashes, but should be subtle.

Last I applied NARS liner pen to the outer edge of the top lid right along the lashline and a few coats of mascara.

The Daily Face - April 4, 2012 - Multicolored Liner

under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325

eyeliner: MAC Eye Kohl in Minted, MAC PowerPoint Eye Pencil in Tealo, Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Pencil in Gold (10L), Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Pencil in Blue (12L)

eye brows: MAC Brow Pencil in Fling

eye lashes: MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara

This is an all liner look.  I started by lining the outer corner of the top lid with Tealo.  The liner should extend half way through the lid, to about where the pupil is.  Next, using Minted, I lined from the inner corner of the top lid blending it into the Tealo liner.  I also used Minted liner around the inner corner of the eye, wrapping onto the bottom lid.  Then I lined the very outer corner of the upper lid with the blue Make Up For Ever liner, as well as lining the outer corner of the lower lid until it blends into the Minted liner.  Last I used gold liner to create a thin gold sweep along the inner corner of the lower lid and the outer corner of the lower lid, without connecting the the two lines.

I recognize that this description sounds like a weird maze, but it’s easier to do it than to read it (or write it), I promise.  Use the close up photo as a guide and don’t forget lots-o-mascara!

The Daily Face - April 2, 2012 - Stripes

under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325

eyeshadow: Illamasqua Eye Shadow in Sex (matte white)

eyeliner: Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss, Illamasqua Precision Ink in Scribe

eye brows: MAC Brow Pencil in Fling

eye lashes: MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara

To get this black and white look I began by applying the matte white eyeshadow to the lid from lashline to crease.  Then I applied white shadow wrapping around the inner corners of the eyes and blended it onto the inner corners of the lower lid.

Next I applied Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss to the top lid in a sweeping wing from inner corner to outer corner.  The Precision Ink is fairly easy to apply and also manipulate with a Q-tip if you need to, but I still applied it in stages, first the outer corners then connecting the inner corners.  Liquid liner is pretty difficult to apply in one swoop.

Next I applied a thin line of Precision Ink in Scribe (white) directly into the lower lashline, connecting it to the wing of black liner.  Directly beneath the white I applied a thin line of black liner and connected this into the wing as well. Then I applied another thin line of the white under the black and brought the line all the way up under the wing. Use the photo as reference for this to make sense.

Last I applied mascara, my faaaavorite thing.

The Daily Face - March 28, 2012 - Gold

under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325

eyeliner: Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Pencil in Gold

eye brows: MAC Brow Pencil in Fling

eye lashes: MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara

Still working with this tan from Mexico that will soon be completely faded.  I was really hoping it was just going to be 70 degrees from now on.

For this look I used Make Up For Ever gold Aqua Eyes Pencil as a shadow.  I applied it as I would liner, but made the line extra thick and then smudged it upward with my finger.  Then I applied a little liner into the lower lashline and finished the eyes with mascara.  No blush/bronzer required here.

The Daily Face - March 26, 2012 - Gray

under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325

eyeshadow: Tom Ford Eye Color Quad in Titanium Smoke

eye brows: MAC Brow Pencil in Fling

eye lashes: MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara

Like most people, as the weather gets nicer I tend to wear less makeup.  This is especially true when I’m a little more tan.  If you have a nice summery glow (mine courtesy of Mexico) try not wearing blush or bronzer.  It’s good to let your face have a break from makeup and a natural tan is the perfect opportunity to go bare.

For this look I blended a light application of the gray shade in the Tom Ford palette from my lashline to the crease.  Next I applied the dark sparkly shade to the outer corners of the eyes, concentrating the pigment along the lashline to mimic the look of liner.  Last I applied the dark shade lightly to my lower lashline to create a slight drop shadow.  I finished the look with mascara and chapstick.
