Ask and You Shall Receive! (a break down of the prom look I did)

of course, there's a bit of afilter here, but this and the full-face photos below are taken with no flash.

 Ok, I got a significant amount of love for the look I did on my prom client a few weeks ago. And just yesterday, a friend of mine asked would I do a step-by-step pictorial of that very look. Of course I would!!! So here is that look from top to bottom! (please note that my face and my client's face are different shapes and colors.. slightly.. and this is an example of how the same look will vary depending on who's wearing it) Enjoy....

Starting with the brows! I used my Mary Kay Brow Pencil in Brunette, a Spiral brush and a concealer just a shade lighter than my own skin color.

 After applying Mary Kay Eye Primer, Step 1: Apply a matte brown/maroon-ish color with a flat shadow brush (helpful hint: use a patting motion rather than a sweeping or spreading motion to help build the color. Step 2: apply that same color to the entire lower lash line. Step 3: Use a crease brush and sweep a golden bronze along the crease. Step 4: Take a shadow brush and sweep a matte lavendar color (lightly) over the golden bronze and up toward the brow bone. Then highlight the brown bone with a sheer/shimmery light golden color. Step 5: Use a liner brush to add a shimmery white color to the inner corners of both the upper and lower lid. Step 6: Line the upper lash line (here I used a pencil, on my client, I used a gel liner). Step 7: Apply false Lashes, mascara on the lower lashes and liner to the waterline.

these shadows are numbered by the order they were used, not the step number they were used in... because i'm awesome. lol. but the top left is a Wet 'n' Wild palette u can find at any drugstore, the top right is a sample palette I got with my Coastal Scents order (i do believe the white is called white silver.. but don't hold me to that) and the bottom palette is my trusty old Party Girl Palette from BH Cosmetics. The liner is from Rimmel London's Scandaleyes collection and the lashes are Ardell Glamour Wispies. on my client I used Red Cherry #217.. very similar

And noe for the face! I used a very small amount of my regular foundation to start, then Step 1: I used a small stipling brush to apply my highlighting concealer to my cheekbones, just above my jawline, chin, forehead and down the center of my nose. Step 2: I used a concealer brush to apply my darker contouring concealer under my chrekbones, templrs and alonh the sides of my nose. Step 3: Blended it all with a flat-topped powder brush, then applied a darker powder to the contoured areas and  this time, used my regular shade of powder all over my face. Step 4: Mary Kay Mineral Cheek color in Cherry Blossom, and the lined my lips with a redish brown lip pencil. Step 5: Applied Wet 'n' Wild lipstick in Think Pink all over my lips and blended until thr liner wasn't really visible.

again, no flash...

So there you have it! The prom look from top to bottom!
