Ok.. so that was a really long title for this eotd... but hey, putting names together is rather fun! :P

so here's what I used. Placements will be described in the pic tute... if you bother to read that far:

Monistat
NYX JEP in Pacific
NYX JEP in Cottage Cheese
NYX JEP in Blackbean
TSS Mesh and Lace
TSS Ruler of the Land
TSS Root of Evil
TSS Sweet like Sugar
TSS Lucifer's Chariot

with flash

without flash
and here's the tute... (for pics of the brushes used, please go HERE)

Start with a smidgen of monistat on each eye - didn't bother to take pics cos it just looks like normal skin. Next, cover the lid up to the crease with NYX JEP in Pacific. Draw a thick line of NYX JEP in Cottage Cheese just under the brows.

then blend the Cottage Cheese downwards to meet with the Pacific.
Next pat Mesh and Lace on the inner 2/3s of the lid. I used my Loew-Cornell Maxine Mop #270.
then Ruler of the Land on the outer 2/3 overlapping w the Mesh and Lace in the middle. Same brush.
Using the Essence of Beauty larger crease brush in a windshield wiper motion, brush up to the crease area using Ruler of the Land.
I switched to the smaller Essence of Beauty crease brush and applied Root of Evil in the outer corner and a little into the crease. I used the point of the brush and placed it into my outer corner then rolled it up into the crease (not a back and fro motion)... hard to explain really but it gets the effect I like.
A thin layer of Sweet as Sugar was applied using Loew-Cornell blender mop #276.
If you've noticed, I haven't done any blending apart from what the brushes do when I apply the colors. Now, I grab my newest favourite blending brush, the EDM eye buki, and sweep that over my eye from outer corner inwards. With each sweep, I clean it off on my microfibre cloth so the colors don't get muddied.
Using the smaller crease brush again, I apply Sweet like Sugar on the tearduct area. On the lower lash line starting from the inner corner, Sweet like Sugar, Mesh and Lace, Ruler of the Land, Root of Evil.
Penultimate step is to apply Blackbean using my Beauticontrol brush. (forgot to take pics at this point.) Followed by patting in Lucifer's Chariot using SN's Ultimate brush - the liner side.
Finish off with Mascara if you want. Me... I'm too lazy and I'm only going to my mom's after all... *grin*

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial... let me know if you'd like to see more :)

first of all... my Vox layout is still weird. I *cannot* post any comments. So gals, I may not answering but I'm definitely still reading all your blogs! I'm just wishing I could join in the conversations that are happening. Sigh. Still, my last post turned out kinda ok so I'm gonna get caught up on last week's looks.

Here's the first. I did this the day after the look was posted. Yes, I was that inspired! It was fun to try something out of my 'normal' blue/purple range. Gotta get outta the rut... Thanks Momof2Angels for the idea!

Its been a while.. here's what I think... am pretty sure I used...

Monistat - all over base
NYX JEP in gold - all over the lid and smudged. Then because it was kinda too dark... added
NYX JEP in cottage cheese - all over the lid, blended and smudged upwards
TSS Rockin' Egyptian - patted all over the lid
TSS Empty Promise - outer corner.
TSS Symphony of Chaos - liner. tried to do a flick but it didn't turn out very well...
I also can't remember what I used as a highlighter. I think it was one of the Go To range. sigh..

errr.. forgot to take the pics of the baggies.. sigh

Monistat - all over eye base
NYX Jumbo eye pencil in Cottage Cheese - super thin layer all over lid cos I didn't want it getting too light toned
TSS She Does Sparkle - whole lid
TSS Symphony of Chaos - outer v; crease
TSS Go to Lunch - highlighter

Liner
NYX jumbo eye pencil in blackbean - upper liner and lower outer
TSS Symphony in Chaos patted over the blackbean
NYX jumbo eye pencil in Cottage Cheese - lower inner
TSS Go to Lunch - patted over the Cottage Cheese

Cheeks - SN Babydoll
Lips - I can't remember.. I think it was Foreplay over Sweetheart... but I may be wrong
all the rest was my usual nonsense
