My First Make-Up Tutorial -- Smokey Green

***NOTE: VERY PICTURE HEAVY. I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE.

So last night I decided to attempt my first picture tutorial. I never realized how much hard work this could take considering all the steps I had to do to create this look. And plus watermarking my pictures and typing up the instructions takes up a lot of time too. I hope you ladies like it. Tell me what you think!! [: BTW, I used my 56 piece Coastal Scents palette to create this look.
Here's the look that we are going for

  2. yay for tutorials! i've been thinking about the coastal scents pallette but i'm always skeptical. like i think, if it's so pigmented, why so cheap?

    did you use the 224 brush to blend the colors with ur highlight color? i sometimes have trouble with that and i think it still looks a little harsh when i do it.

  3. omgosh it does look like alot of work. it came out really good though!

    are you planning to do more knowing it takes soo much time? i always want to do them but my cam sucks and it is a lot of work. i'd rather do a video hahaha, if i even had time for that anymore. :)

  28. I loved your tutorial! Your eyeshadow looks are so beautiful, they're different from everyone else's looks because honestly to me, they just look a lot more mature.

    I was wondering if I could get you to do me a huge favor? I want to buy the 56 piece coastal scents palette that you have, but I can't find any swatches of the colors anywhere. Would you swatch your palette for me and either e-mail them to me (jennifersherrodd@hotmail.com) or make a blog entry with swatches? You would totally be my hero. I'm trying to decide between the 56 palette and the 88 palette and I've seen swatches of the 88, but none of the 56.

    Thank you so much!
