Hello Dolls and Gents, 

So, this post that you are currently reading , should have been up yesterday, but since it is midterm week,I was unable to do this post until I got home for reading week. 

Anyways, today's post is about the perfect dramatic eye for Valentines Day. I know that a lot of people will be enjoying that day with their loved one.

Tutorial 

Eyes

  1. Fill in brows and shape them. I used the ABH Dipbrow Pomade in Ebony with Essence Gel Liner brush. I shaped my brows using L.A. Girl Pro Conceal in Espresso with RT Detailer Brush. 
  2. Prime eyes. I primed my eye with L.A. Colour Jumbo Eye Pencil in Sea Shells and set with W.O.S from Naked Basics palette with Jessup Large Fluff brush. 
  3. Apply transition colour. I used my blush as my transition colour. I used Jordana blush in Cinnamon Spice with Naked 3 Dual Ended Brush (fluffy blending side) and apply it above my crease. 
  4. Apply medium deep brown to crease. I applied FAINT from Naked Basics to my crease use the same brush as mention above, Naked 3 Dual Ended Brush (fluffy blending side).
  5. Apply black eyeshadow to outer and inner corner of eyes. I applied CRAVE from Naked Basics with e.l.f essential crease brush to outer and inner corner and connected in the crease. Start with a little and keep building up until you get the desired deepness. I blended the crease with Jessup Small Tapered Blending brush to keep it neat. Do not angle the shadow, keep it rounded. 
  6. Apply pop of colour in the center of the eye. I applied BURNOUT and BUZZ from Naked 3 on a wet Jessup Synthetic Concealer brush to the center of my eyelids. Press the shadow on the center of the eyelid,so there is less fall out. 
  7. Blend. Make sure all the edges are blended properly. This is the time you can add more deepness to the eye look and apply more of BUZZ and BURNOUT from Naked 3 to the center of the lid. Apply more of your transition colour to blend the edges, so it look seamless.
  8. Highlight brow bone and tear duct. I apply STRANGE from Naked 3 to my brow bone and then I applied DUST from the Naked 3 in my inner tear duct for a bright look.
  9. Apply black eyeshadow to bottom lash liner. I applied CRAVE from the Naked Basics to the bottom lash line with Jessup Flat Definer brush and blended it out with Jessup Short Shader brush and further blended it with Naked 3 dual ended brush (fluffy blending side) with Jordana Cinnamon Spice. 
  10. Apply false lashes. I applied the YEGZ eyeslashes using my eyelash tweezers.   

Face 


  1. Prime face. I primed my face with MUFE Skin 1 Equalizer in Mattifying. 
  2. Apply foundation. I applied Marc Jacobs Beauty Re(marc)able Full Cover Foundation Concentrate in 86 Cocoa Deep  with Real Techniques Buffing brush. 
  3. Apply cream highlight. I applied L.A. Girl Pro Conceal in Toast to highlight the face. I applied it under the eyes, bridge of the nose, middle of the forehead, cupid's bow and chin. I blended it out with the beautyblender. 
  4. Apply cream contour. I applied L.A. Girl Pro Conceal in Mahogany to contour the face. I applied to the hollow of cheeks, temples, forehead, and nose. I blended it out with the beautyblender. 
  5. Set highlighted areas. I set all the places I highlighted with Maybelline Fit Me Powder in 325 Cream Beige with beautyblender. 
  6. Set entire face. I set my entire face using Ruby Kisses Mineral Powder in Cognac using Jessup Powder brush. 
  7. Set contour areas. I set all the places I contoured with FAINT from Naked Basics using the BH Signature Gold Set Brush #4
  8. Apply blush. I applied Jordana Blush in Cinnamon Spice to the cheeks using Jessup Blush/Powder brush.

Lips
