Red eye tutorial for the brave ;)
I felt like doing something daring today... and came up with a look that had red eye makeup, red lips and red nails... only syncing lips and nails is trendy this fall, but I thought adding the eye would be cool. I like it, I hope you do too.
Here's a quick tip for all of you makeup lovers. I know some women who do one eye first and then the other, it's hell to get the eyes look the same if you do it this way. I always do every step on both eyes... make sure they're the same, and then I have both eyes equal when I'm done, because every layer on the eye was done to match the other eye.

Face
Starting my make-up with Clear Photo Finish Primer has become the most natural thing to me that really adds longevity to my foundation and sculpting. I used High Def Foundation with the Travel Foundation Brush to ensure a perfect and blended foundation. From there on I took the Mineral Powder Brush no. 45 and used Super Matte Loose Powder to set the foundation all over. I didn't use any concealer so far because it wasn't needed. I used the Bronze from the Pressed Powder/Bronze Lights Duo to sculpt under my cheekbones and on my jawline because this product isn't shimmery and is almost exactly my skins shadow tone. For sculpting I used the Half Moon Brush today because my baby buki brush is still wet from cleaning. I patted some Diorshow powder on my temples to make my face look thinner.
I placed Eyeshadow Primer Potion on my eyes using my fingers.

Eye
After applying foundation and primer potion I took a picture to show you what I'm working on.
I did use a little Concealer with the no. 4 concealer brush under my eyebrow at this moment and around my lips to lighten this area a little. To lighten under my eyebrow even more I packed the All Over Shadow brush with the lightest colour of the Shutterspeed and patted that under my eyebrows, blending it down.
For the red colour I used Rosewood, this is a satin finish colour and using the Large Eyeshadow Brush no. 8 I placed it on my eyelid only, not blending the colour anywhere.
Using the flat brush for this and patting in the colour means you get a more intense colour on your eyelid.
I used the bottom right colour from the Jeu de Nuit which is a brown/grey colour with also a satin finish. If you look closely at the red eyeshadow you see the dark-tones of the red are similar to the grey/brown.
I used the Definer brush to place the colour in my crease (starting on the outside colour because your brush gives the most colour where you place your brush first). Here is a picture of the colour unblended to show you the placement:
Using a clean Crease Brush no. 10 to blend the dark up and out.
I used Jet Set Waterproof Eye Liner in Midnight Black with the Arced Liner Brush no. 21 on my top waterline. I also placed a little colour on the lower waterline in the corner very thinly. To finish the eye I curled my eyelashes and gave my lashes a thick coat of Diorshow. I love this mascara, I always have, it makes my lashes look amazing!
Lips
Around my lips I already placed a thin line of Creme Eyeliner pencil and blended this out. On my lips I used Lasting finish lipstick in 124 Bordeaux straight out of the tube for a thick layer of colour.
I then used the red colour from the Totally fab lip gloss collection on the centre of my lips (so no gloss in the corners).

Nails
After cleaning my nails I added a coat of Nail Envy as a base on my nails and let it dry. I then used two coats of the Bourjois colour and another colour of Nail Envy as a topcoat.
