Pardon the craziness guys! I'm slowly trying to redesign my blog. And by slowly I mean it's taking me several hours a night to try and figure out the correct coding (HTML) for one thing....and then it doesn't work! Argh! SO FRUSTRATING! Things will *hopefully* be up and running in the next couple weeks! Thanks for understanding!!

Neutral Series: Naked Palette Neutral Pink Tutorial

As you all know, I'm a big fan of neutral makeup. With my clients (mainly the models doing fashion shoots) I'm a lot more willing to experiment with brighter/edgier looks, but on myself, I always lean toward the neutral looks.

This look is soft, and great to wear for any occasion. You can keep it simple with only 1 or 2 colors, or you can darken it up with a little bit of black, gray, or dark brown shadows. No pictures this time since I was in a rush to get out the door, but the products I used are listed below.

MAC 239 - Shader Brush (Lid)
MAC 217 - Tapered Blending Brush (Crease)

MAC 224 - Blending Brush (Blending & Transition)
Japonesque - Medium Detailer (lower lashline/liner brush)
EcoTools - Blush Brush (blush)

Face:

Eyes:
All over: MAC Eye Shadow - Brule
Lid/Inner Corner: Urban Decay Naked Palette - Sin
Crease/Lower Lashline: Urban Decay Naked Palette - Toasted
Outer V: Urban Decay Naked Palette - Hustle
Transition: Urban Decay Naked Palette - Naked
Highlight: Urban Decay Naked Palette - Virgin
Eye Liner: Urban Decay 24/7 Liner - Whiskey
