:0 so much MAC <3 you pull off multiple colours well at once, and you apply it great too!

i can't really wear bright eyeshadows, only boring greys and brown -_-. you're lucky lol

[graveyard hag]

heh, another good make up brand would be ben nye.
it's typically used by trannies but i like it because it's cheaper than mac and comes in very bright vibrant colors that are easy to blend and go on solid.
i don't know if it's sold everywhere, but in chicago they sell it at fantasy costumes and beatnik's

you look gorgeous! that black line on the eye makes it look soooooo good.

Thanks so much!

Where you put liner in the crease,
I normally do that with black shadow.
I've got training in theatre makeup,
and it may sound odd, but my friend and
I can pull off some seriously good tranny
make-up. I use a lot of those tranny techniques
in my daily and 'special occasion' make-up,
and what you do is normally referred to as
'cutting the crease'. Pretty damn hard to perfect,
but if done right it can really look amazing.
I'd say you did a damn good job (:
I use Ben Nye for all of my theatre-esque
makeuping, the highlight that I have is AMAZING.

love this!

I love the colors you used! I try to pull that combo off sometimes and I just don't feel like it works for me....you're lucky! haha

I also want to offer a word of caution tho, about the using the red liner on your eyes: if its your first time doing it, do a little test before going all out, because the red pigment that's used in red and some purple cosmetics are the most common makeup allergy. I wear red lipstick everyday, but can't find a purple eyeliner that doesn't swell my eyes shut to save my life. There's (obviously) absolutely nothing wrong with lipliner on your eyes or eyeliner on your lips, but I just thought I'd advise on the pigment issue.

[bacteriadance]

^^^Hmm, never heard of that allergy. I guess one day I'll find time to make some more tutorials...

[classactcat]

I absolutely love your look. Not only is this makeup look sexy as hell but you are so adorable! Awesome job.

I'd love to see your method for getting your eyebrows so neat and shapely; do you pluck or wax?

[bacteriadance]

^^^I pluck the occasional hair or two, but usually I use a cream-based hair remover (think Nair) for my eyebrows. But as I said, they're really light, so I really don't have to do anything to them...

[MichelleIsSharp]

Love it!!!!

[bacteriadance]

Thanks--I can't believe you found this old thing...

Geez--I made this my senior year of high school, and I'll be graduating with my Bachelor's next Saturday... So weird!!!

great colour choices!! love the eye finished product, gloss looks great on your lips. light eyebrows are cool, if you had pink hair you could line them in pink and that would look rad !! orange lippie would be cool too if you were feeling bright thanks for the tute, good pictures and easy steps. awes x
