Ok, once again I wanted to start with a before picture. for this tutorial I planned on shading my shoulders and bust also, so I put on a tube top and sat in front of my mirror. Please Not this Tutorial is taking place one day after the "Wide eyed" tutorial! my Zit is still there!!!
So i took my Ben nye consealer on covered myself, Please note this is definetly not an everyday make-up, this will look great in pictures on in bad lighting and even from a distance, Up close... you'll look plastic, or like an 80's street walker. Ok so I made myself into a blank canvas.
Next I took my Ben Nye shading kit and drew in the lines
I would need to properly shade my face. Dark colors will sink in and lighter colors will stand out. PLEASE NOTE! I over did it a bit
for emphasis. Once i was all done i had to go back and add a lot more lowlights because i put way to much highlights on my face so
you could see the lines in the picture.
Blend that in to your base coat of fondation. Try as best as you can to Blend it in but stay within the area your trying to enhance. Don't rub it all over your face or you'll just undo everything, it takes a little bit of practice, so you might want to try it out a couple times before you go to the convention. Once you have all of the shading you want to do NOW you powder over the make-up of use a make-up sealer. Do NOT power before that of your shading won't blend correctly.
Now I took my Benefit Boi-ing professional under eye consealer and took care of my undereye area. I like many many MANY people have a problem with undereye darkness and if tired, bags. S
I added blush after the fact, did my eyes and lips and stuck on a wig for the finished picture. In hind sight, I should have put a different wig on so you could see my face better, or just leave my hair in a ponytail, but I wanted a nice finished look. When I do another Shading tutorial I'll fix the shading issue caused by the over exaggerated lines I used for examples. Hmmm, looking at this picture... I think I'll take Heidi up on her Request for for more small detail stuff and I'll do an Eyebrow plucking and shading one next...
Ok here's the list of what I used to make this look. I used the Ben Nye Professional kit in "Fair:Lightest" In hind sight again, when I buy a new kit I'll probably go to "Fair:Tan". I didn't use the black thing, I'm sure it have a very good purpose and I'm sure it would have been much easier to do something in this look it I had used it, But I didn't. I used Maybelline XXL Volume+length mascara, A "wet n wild" Lip pencil, Revlon outlast eyeliner Crayon, and I think thats about it...
