REESE WITHERSPOON ELLE FEBRUARY 2012 SMOKY PURPLE LINER INSPIRED MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Hey xx

Okay. I haven't made a makeup tutorial in an extremely long time, which annoys me, since I initially started this blog so I could load out makeup stuff. (Which obviously didn't happen - tumblr inspiration took over!) So I decided that this month I would try to make more makeup tutorials, use more makeup, etc. This month I received the new February 2012 Elle magazine with Reese Witherspoon - doesn't she look gorgeous! I've never seen her so edgy so I was inspired to make a smokey smudgy dark purple liner look. 

1. Korres Pomegranate Mattifying Primer all over as a base to make sure that all of your makeup goes on smooth. Plus primer fills in lines, pores, and reduces oil so that your skin looks perfect. I like this one since it has no silicone, which breaks me out. It does the same thing as other mainstream primer but doesn't clog your pores and keeps skin feeling soft.

2. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab placed around my nose and forehead with my fingers. I layer just the smallest amounts of this, a little goes a long way.

3. Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 340 applied onto any problem areas. This is the exact same color as my foundation, it just has a more opaque coverage. I pat this on to any needed any areas and buff out the edges using my Borghese 200 Eye Fluff Brush, you can use any large fluffy brush.

4. NARS Bronzer in Laguna and MAC 168 brush combined makes beautiful contours on the cheeks. I base most of the bronzer along the temples of my forehead and blend it along the forehead and cheekbones for definition and a glow.

5. Make Up For Ever HD Powder with the EcoTools Powder Brush all over to set everything nicely in place.

6. Fresh Satin Luster Palette, shade China Pearl applied with the fingers along the center of the nose and cheekbones for a soft ivory glow. This is one of my favorite highlighters and it has the softest feel, definitely worth checking out.

7. MAC Mineralize Blush in Warmth of Coral and MAC 120 Brush. This is a peachy coral melange of color and when packed onto the cheeks it creates the same peachy glow that Reese has. 

8. MAC Mineralize Blush in Fresh Honey and MAC 120 Brush gives just a touch more of orange to give a similar blush.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. NARS Smudgeproof Shadow Base all over the eyelids, upper lash line to brow and lower lash line to prime the eyes.

10. Kat Von D High Voltage Eye Primer in Skin right under the brow bone, on the lid, and inner corner to create a matte nude brightness.

11. Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm groomed through the brows to help keep them in place.

12. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Rockstar is a dark purple black eyeliner with a hint of silver glitter. It matches Reese's perfectly! I applied a thin line of this along the upper lash line and lower lash line, sticking away from the waterlines. I like to keep this pretty precise so you don't get darker color anywhere you don't want it. After a first layer I thickened up the outer corners and then proceeded with the look.

13. Kat Von D High Voltage Eye Shadow Palette in Truth, shade Prague and Sephora 15 Liner Brush. This is a matching dark plum eyeshadow with a slight sheen, I gently smudged out the liner for a sexy purple look.

14. Stila Kajal Liner in Onyx is my favorite super creamy no budge super black eye liner! I line my tightline and outer lower water line with this for added drama.

15. Kat Von D High Voltage Eye Shadow Palette in Truth, shade Sister and Sephora 15 Liner Brush. I applied a matte peach colored eyeshadow to the inner corner to brighten up the eyes, this peach shade really wakes up brown eyes. 

16. Dior DiorShow Blackout Waterproof Mascara in 090 Black and Sephora Double Ended Brow Sculpting Brush. I began by curling my lashes three times, pumping the curler and bringing it vertical for the most bold curl. Then using an angled brush I pressed a waterproof pitch black mascara into my lashes. This will help hold the curl and tint the lashes a darker shade, a great trick for girls with long asian lashes.

17. Dior DiorShow Maximizer Lash Plumping Primer & Serum. I applied this along the lashes over the waterproof mascara to help lengthen and de-clump the lashes.

18. Fairydrops Scandal Queen Mascara in Black layered on top, this is a fiber mascara and helps make lashes even longer by attaching little bits to the tips of your real lashes.

19. L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara in Carbon Black on top to finish.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17. Supergoop Acai Fusion Lip Balm SPF 15 with Shea Butter is super moisturizing and provides instant hydration. It works as a base for any lip products I apply next.

18. MAC Luster Drops in Pink Rebel and Stila 16 Brush, I applied a shimmering liquid highlighter to the cupid's bow to fake fuller lips.

19. MAC Lipstick in Hue is the perfect satin finish peachy nude lipstick.

20. NARS Lip Gloss in Strip Tease finishes everything off perfectly!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it! The eyes are sexy and smoky with a touch of purple, personally I would wear this out in the day. I love how this looks with the peachy cheeks and nude lips too.

BURGUNDY LIDS GUCCI FALL & WINTER 2011 AD CAMPAIGN MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Hey xx

I was going through my Elle Magazine (October 2011, the one with the VS models!) and a couple pages in I found this great Gucci ad. This is their fall and winter 2011 ad campaign. Here the model has beautiful pale glowing skin and a very deep bronze raspberry contour on her cheeks. She has an almost neon red matte lip and a dark burgundy shade all over the lids. I wanted to try this look out and am really happy how this turned out!

1. Fresh Rose Freshface Primer along the forehead, nose, and chin to prime. This should even out the skin tone and reduce lines for a more even application of foundation. 

2. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab placed around my nose and forehead with my fingers to create perfected glowing skin.

3. NARS Bronzer in Laguna applied to the outer parts of the forehead, down the cheekbones, and on the apples of the cheeks with the Borghese 104 Angled Contour Brush. I used a heavier hand for this to really dark up my face. 

4. Make Up For Ever HD Blush in #2 Caught in the Act with the Face Secrets Bronzer Brush all over the cheekbones. This Make Up For Ever blush is one of the most pigmented blushes, it comes in a tiny container but just the smallest drop can really add some flush. I applied a good amount onto my large headed stippling brush and applied this on top of the bronzer to create a dark burgundy bronze toned contour. 

5. Fresh Face Luster Palette and the Sephora I.T. Professional Stippling Brush can be used to fake the perfect glow. I used the shade China Pearl from the palette, which is the best reflective white highlighter ever. I apply a small amount down the bridge of the nose, cleft of the lip, middle of the chin, above the eye brows, and barely on the center of the forehead. This gives a slight glow to the skin without any shimmer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. NARS Smudgeproof Shadow Base all over the eyelids, upper lash line to brow and lower lash line to prime the eyes.

7. Kat Von D High Voltage Eye Primer in Skin right under the brow bone, on the lid, and inner corner to create a matte nude brightness.

8. Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm on the brows to slick them in place.

9. Stila Smudge Pot in Pomegranate, Borghese 202 Angled Contour Brush, and Sephora Dual Ended Smoky Eye Brush all over the lids. This is the perfect creamy dark burgundy raspberry shade for the lids. I applied this all over my eye lids to create a beautiful opaque wash of color. I then took a smaller angled brush and applied this shade along the outer lower lash line. I connected the lower lash line with the upper lid shadows to create a cohesive eye look. If you have a bigger lid space then feel free to apply this shade all the way up to the brow bone, but that would just look plain silly on me. 

10. Urban Decay Ammo Palette, shade Last Call and Leif On Location Makeup Equipment Blend Brush right on top of the cream product. This beautiful burgundy shadow matches the Stila Smudge Pot and will set the cream shadow.

11. Urban Decay Naked Palette, shade Virgin and NARS 12 Brush. I applied a shimmering pearlescent beige shade along the lower inner lash line and inner corners to bring in some lightness and shimmer. I blended the shade with the plum shade so there was an even gradient along the lids. 

12. Stila Kajal Liner in Onyx along the tight line to create some definition. This black liner is super creamy and glides on with ease.

13. Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner in 02 True Black and MAC 208 Brush along the upper lash line. I just wanted to add a bit of definition along the lashes, you don't need a dramatic line.

14. Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Oil Slick and Sephora Dual Ended Dramatic Eye Brush, liner side. I smudged out the liner with a glittering black eyeshadow to make the liner seem softer.

15. MAC Eye Kohl in Fascinating along the waterline to make the eyes appear wide. The white eye liner really makes a doll like effect on the eyes.

16. Dior Dior Show Blackout Mascara in 099 Black, Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara in Black, and Maybelline Lash Curler. I applied my favorite blackest of black mascara on to my upper and lower lashes to frame my eyes. The lashes should be thick, verging on clumpy, and as dark as possible.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17. Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Red and Sephora #60 Retractable Square Lip Brush. I applied a bright red lip color on to my lips for maximum impact.

18. Make Up For Ever HD Powder to mattify the lips. I dabbed this on and it created that slightly powdery finish that the model has. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really like how this turned out, the burgundy lid is actually really wearable and flattering on my eye shape. The lips and cheeks are extremely dramatic but great for a night out.

Hope you enjoyed!!

DIOR FALL 2011 AD CAMPAIGN INSPIRED GUNMETAL SMOKY EYE

Hey xx

I was flipping through a recent issue of Elle Magazine (the one with Miranda Kerr on the front - VS Beauties!!) and I saw this gorgeous Dior ad. Marion Cotillard is modeling their clothes, which makes it so much more chic! Anyways French actress Marion has a dark gunmetal smoky eye, a slightly bronzed cheek, and nude lip. I wanted to recreate the look and it turned out surprisingly well!! If you want to see how I did this look keep reading.

1. Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer in Original all over as a base to make sure that all of your makeup goes on smooth. Plus primer fills in lines, pores, and reduces oil so that your skin looks perfect.

2. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab placed around my nose and forehead with my fingers. If I need mover coverage I'll use my Borghese 102 Duo-Fiber Blending Brush on areas needed. Use your favorite foundation, NARS' is currently the #1 in the world.

3. NARS Bronzer in Laguna applied to the outer parts of the forehead, down the cheekbones, and on the apples of the cheeks with the Borghese 104 Angled Contour Brush. Marion has no blush on but a bit of bronzer as a replacement.

4. Make Up For Ever HD Powder with the EcoTools Powder Brush all over to set everything nicely in place.

5. Fresh Face Luster Palette and the Sephora I.T. Professional Stippling Brush can be used to fake the perfect glow. I used the shade China Pearl from the palette, which is the best reflective white highlighter ever. I apply a small amount down the bridge of the nose, cleft of the lip, middle of the chin, above the eye brows, and barely on the center of the forehead. This gives a slight glow to the skin without any shimmer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. NARS Smudgeproof Shadow Base all over the eyelids, upper lash line to brow and lower lash line to prime the eyes.

7. Kat Von D High Voltage Eye Primer in Skin right under the brow bone, on the lid, and inner corner to create a matte nude brightness.

8. Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm on the brows to slick them in place.

9. Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette and the Borghese 201 Eyeshadow Brush. I applied the shade Ace all over the eye lids - excluding the inner most corners. Ace is a darker steel color with a slight bluish sheen that matches what Marion has on her lids. 

10. Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Shadow Collection and the Leif On Location Makeup Equipment Crease Brush. Taking the shade Heaven, a light matte off white cream color, I applied this to the brow bone. I also swung this shade just in the crease to help blend out the edges of Ace. Overall I didn't bring up the gunmetal shade too high since it would look silly on my lid shape.

11. Stila Kajal Liner in Onyx is my favorite super creamy no budge super black eye liner! I line my tightline and outer lower water line with this for added drama.

12. Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner in 02 True Black and the MAC 208 Brush on the outer upper lash line makes the perfect thin slice of black on the lids.

13. Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette and the Borghese 204 Angled Brow/Liner Brush. Use the steel blue shade to smudge out the black eye liner since Marion has no harsh lines. I placed it on the waterline and blended it outwards on the lower lash line. I also smudged it along the upper lash line over the gel liner.

14. Hourglass Superficial Lash Mascara in Carbon, Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash in Extra Black, Josie Maran Go Go Instant Natural Volume Mascara in Black, Sephora Full Action Extreme Volume Mascara in 01 Black, Clinique High Impact Mascara, and Maybelline Lash Curler all played a role on my eye lashes. I'm just trying out some new formulas so you can use any mascaras that you like. I did two formulas on either eyes and then the Clinique mascara on the lower lashes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15. Supergoop Acai Fusion Lip Balm SPF 15 with Shea Butter is super moisturizing and provides instant hydration. It works as a base for any lip products I apply next.

16. MAC Luster Drops in Pink Rebel and the Stila 12 Brush make the lips look fuller and better. Dab the pearly highlighter on the cupids bow for more defined lips.

17. Laura Geller Creme Couture Lipstick in Creme Nude was the perfect slightly orangey brown nude shade for the lips!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it: a very smoky dark eye with a bit of bronze on the cheeks and nude on the lips.

Hope you enjoyed!!

RED LIPSTICK BASICS

Hey xx

Random but Rihanna just came out with her new album and one of the song is called red lipstick haha.

So I made a red lipstick tutorial, requested by Sofia, sorry that I couldn't make this a video.. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep my Youtube Channel much longer! I'm more into photography and such..

Anyways for all readers I just wanted show all of the red lip products just in case you have a different skin color.

1. Make Up For Ever Flash Color in Red

2. Guerlain Rogue Automatique Lipstick in 120 Coque D'Or

3. Bite Luminous Creme Lipstick in Rhone

4. MAC Lipstick in MAC Red

5. MAC Lipstick in Dubonnet

So Sofia has tannish complexion, so anyone with warmer darker skin tones I recommend a more berry based red. If you have paler skin try a blue based red, or fire hydrant red. Personally I think orangey reds are never flattering so skip those all together.

Sofia for you I recommend the Bite Lipstick topped with MAC's Lipstick in Dubbonet. Starting with a berry based glossy red looks great, layering a little bit of a darker brown red makes it more wearable chic for a party. If you just wore the first lipstick your lips can look almost too clown red; you have to darken it down to suit your skin color. 

If these are out of your budget or you just want more choices I recommend going to Sephora or MAC and asking for assistance. Or you could just look around for a warmer berry red and a darker brown red that catches your eye.

You can follow the tutorial I did below to get the perfect look! 

xoxo, gracieee

You can skip this or find duplicate products if you're on a budget. I just prepped my lips with Supergoop Acai Fusion Lip Balm with Shea Butter SPF 30 and then applied MAC Luster Drops in Pink Rebel on my cupids bow to make more perfected lips. (You can get the lip balm from Sephora and the luster drops from MAC.)

Next I took the Sephora #60 Squre Retractable Lip Brush and the Bite Luminous Creme Lipstick in Rhone. (You can buy both at Sephora.) You always want to create a border line on your lips so that you don't get a messy lip. It looks silly but it's crucial!

Next I filled in my lips with the lip brush for a very perfected sheer red lip.

Then I filled in my lips a second time straight from the tube so you have the most opaque amount of color.

To finish I dabbed a little bit of the MAC Lipstick in Dubbonet on top so the lip is a bit darker and more wearable. This is the finished look and I think it would look great on you. (:

SKY FERREIRA MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Hey xx

So as I've been saying I'm quite obsessed with Sky Ferreira's beauty recently! I decided to recreate the look she had on the cover of Wonderland Magazine. It's a rather simple and neutral look, more for those who have natural beauty. (I'm used to darker eyeshadows on my eyes!) Anyways it consists of a perfected no blush, no bronzer, no highlighter sort of face. The eyes were a glimmering bronze taupe shade that I made using all cream products and the lips are a beautiful semi-matte peppery red lipstick.

1. Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer in Original all over as a base to make sure that all of your makeup goes on smooth. Plus primer fills in lines, pores, and reduces oil so that your skin looks perfect - like Sky's!

2. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab placed around my nose and forehead with my fingers. If I need mover coverage I'll use my Borghese 102 Duo-Fiber Blending Brush on areas needed. Use your favorite foundation, NARS' is currently the #1 in the world.

3. MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer in NC30 on any dark spots that are still sticking out, applied with my Sephora Point Concealer Brush. I blend it out with the same stippling brush just used. You want perfected skin, but don't cake on the face products.

4. NARS Eyeshadow Duo in Kalahari, the two light matte brown shades buffed along the contours of the forehead and contours of the cheeks with a CVS Essence of Beauty Travel Powder Brush. I didn't have a light matte warm brown bronzer so eyeshadow worked for me.

5. MAC Eyeshadow in Espresso just along the contours of the cheeks with the same CVS brush to darken it up just a bit more. Sky has no highlighter or blush, but a slight natural contour, I don't have any matte bronzer, so once again that's why I used eyeshadow. 

6. Make Up For Ever HD Powder with the EcoTools Powder Brush all over to set everything nicely in place.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. NARS Smudgeproof Shadow Base all over the eyelids, upper lash line to brow and lower lash line to prime the eyes.

8. Kat Von D High Voltage Eye Primer in Skin right under the brow bone, on the lid, and inner corner to create a matte nude brightness.

9. NARS Multiple in Lamu all over the eye lids up to the crease as a base color. This is a rich golden bronze shade with lots of bronze glitter. Since I want to only use cream shadows I wanted to start with a denser one so the slicker shades I use next would stick and won't crease. 

10. Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow Palette in 715 Precious Metals, I applied the bronze shade all over the lids up to the crease. Sky has a really high crease so the eyeshadow nearly goes up to her brows, but since I have a lower crease I just apply it right up to my crease. (She did this too, it just looks higher because she has higher creases.) The bronze shade really matches the one she's wearing and is really shiny for the desired look. Then I took the bronze burgundy shade from the palette and the Leif On Location Makeup Equipment Crease Brush. I buffed this along the outer corner and outer crease of the eye to give slight definition, but nothing too dark. Then I added a highlight with the glittery light gold shade in the palette, I applied it along the inner corners with the Borghese 204 Angled Eye/Brow Brush.

11. NARS Cream Eyeshadow in Cosmic Girl is a bright light white gold, I dabbed this right in my innermost corners for brightness.

12. Stila Kajal Liner in Onyx is my favorite super creamy no budge super black eye liner! I line my tightline and outer lower water line with this for added drama.

13. Urban Decay Waterproof 24/7 Liquid Liner in Perversion, I applied it along the outer part of my upper lash line. Keep it skinny and thicken just a bit as you move outward. You want this liner to look as natural as possible.

14. Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette, I used the shade Blackout, you can use any matte black. I pressed this on top of the liquid liner with the Sephora Dual Ended Dramatic Eye Brush, liner side.

15. MAC Eyeshadow in Espresso was applied to the outer lower waterline with the Sephora #15 Classic Angled Liner/Eyeliner Brush to add just a bit of darkness, but nothing harsh.

16. Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Shadow Collection, the shade Heaven goes on the brow bone with the Leif On Location Crease Brush. You can use any off white cream color to create a soft highlight.

17. Dior DiorShow Blackout Mascara in 090 Black on uncurled lashes creates supreme darkness but just a bit more definition at the lash line. I think Sky's makeup artist wanted the focus of the look to be on her lips that's why not a lot of lashes and liner.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17. Supergoop Acai Fusion Lip Balm SPF 15 with Shea Butter is super moisturizing and provides instant hydration. It works as a base for any lip products I apply next.

18. Bite Luminous Creme Lipstick in Rhone with the Sephora #60 Square Retractable Lip Brush. This lipstick is simply fabulous! I have never tried such a creamy opaque lipstick, it literally feels like butter on the lips. The shade itself is literally the same one Sky's wearing, which made me happy. I applied it with a lip brush, added a layer from the tube, blotted, and then one more layer.

19. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Punjab applied with the CVS Essence of Beauty Travel Concealer Brush around the lips to create a sharper edge.

20. Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Mineral Veil and the Borghese 200 Eye Powder Flush Brush around the lips to set the foundation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it! A very dewy simple eye, plus the lip is gorgeous. I hope you enjoyed and try it out. 

I also took a picture of my ear piercings... no exact reason!

xoxo, gracieee

Optional: NARS Multiple in Lamu dabbed in the crease for some bronze glitter that brings out my brown eyes.
