24.3.10 Megan Fox Tutorial This look was inspired by Megan Fox. The photoshoot was for Cosmopolitan Magazine, and it's pretty old, but I love her makeup in it! Because this was only INSPIRED by her look, and because I am probably using different materials and techniques than her makeup artist, do not expect my version to look exactly the same. If you're wondering, I am wearing Freshlook contacts in Sterling Grey and because I get a lot of this question in my other tutorials: no, I am not wearing false lashes (: Megan Fox Inspired Eyes 1. Start off with a clean canvas. 2. I like to put my mascara on first before I start putting on my eyeshadows, so that I can clean any smears easily. If you prefer waiting till after you're done, then do this step last lol. I'm using L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black. I have a love-hate relationship with this mascara...I love how it's so dark and thick, but don't plan on using it unless you have a lash comb on hand! 3. Prep your eyes. Use a primer to (ex. Urban Decay Potion Primer, Too Faced Shadow Insurance) to make your eyeshadows more vibrant and stay on longer without creasing. After that, apply a light brown base to your eyes. This will bring out the colors in your eyeshadow more and will provide some stickyness for your shadows to adhere to. Use a finger to blend. I'm using Clinique's Touch Tint for Eyes in 01 Sable Shimmer. 4. For this step, I used a flat shadow brush to pat on NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in Mocha. Because this is a loose pigment, patting on the color will lessen the chance for fall out on to your cheeks. Apply to your whole lid and go underneath along your lower lashline as well. Use a fluffy brush to blend so that there are no harsh edges. 5. Use a dome shaped brush to apply a matte dark brown to the outer V of your lid. Blend it into the lighter shade well, but not too much so that it looks muddy. 6. The camera didn't pick up the color for this step too well...but what I did was, using a dome shaped brush, I applied a medium gray only to my crease. Blend! The gray will add a little bit a depth, but it shouldn't be so dark that it stands out dramatically. Like I said, you can barely notice it in this picture, but trust me, in person, it will make a world of difference! 7. Instead of using a liquid or gel liner to line my lid, I used a smudger brush to apply some black eyeshadow close to my lashline, as well as a little underneath my lower lash line. I wanted to keep it soft and smoky, and using a liquid/gel liner would have resulted in a harsher look. 8. Line your water line in black. A couple of extra swipes of mascara will complete this look! You want your lashes to be dramatic! Labels: megan fox, tutorials leave a note | 0 notes(s)
