makeup training #1 - defined eye

my first go at recreating a pixiwoo tutorial...check it out at:

(the tutorial is in two parts)

i use my own brush roll which is a mixture of brushes bought at the vic uni student shop, IMATS in sydney, and priceline pharmacy.

the products that i use are whatever i have in my kit that is similar to what the pixiwoo girls use. hopefully down the track when i have some more cash i'll be able to afford to buy the products that they use.

samantha's product list:
chanel mat lumiere foundation
MAC shroom and graphology e/s
MAC kohl eyeliner pencil in blooz
bobbi brown longwear gel eyeliner in black
l'oreal voluminous mascara
MAC mystery and omega e/s for brows
bobbi brown university palette concealers
cornflour blue pigment

my product list:
mix of rimmel renew & lift in soft beige and rimmel stay matte in ivory
kryolan e/s colours in mushroom and black
DB designer brands black eyeliner pencil
kryolan wet/dry cake eyeliner
l'oreal telescopic mascara
i didn't use anything on brows 'cos as you can see i don't really need it!
graftobian cream foundations for concealer
limecrime pigment in shoe addict

here's what samantha's looks like...





and here's how mine turned out...





i found this look to be relatively easy to do and simple enough that i could wear it out to a makeup job i had that evening and also to drinks with friend after that. by the time i got home though, the e/s had creased a little and the kohl eyeliner on the lower waterline had worn off. a result of the warm weather perhaps?

here's a mini photo shoot of the makeup in our backyard. i put on a little masquerade translucent powder and she lip gloss in raspberry for the shoot.
