My Routine:

Then do the eyes
Then lips
And then finally finish the rest of my face

After the shower - ugh!


Moisturize time! Apply all over face with clean sanitized hands:


Prep Face with face primer, I used the Monistat Chafing Gel:


I also mixed it with the Revlon’s Bronzing Lotion on the back of my hand to give me a nice sunkissed glow:


Mix it with the foundation brush on the back of my hand and apply it to the face with the brush as so:




You have a clear base to start with, now you are ready to proceed…


Apply SFC NC30 on problem areas and Vasanti Duo C under eyes:

Next is foundation, I use the STF in NC35 and apply it all over my face with my 182:





I then moisturize my lips with Fuchsia Fix Tinted Lip Moisturizer SPF 15:

Prep eyes with Painterly p/p all over entire lid, brow bone and underneath bottom lashline with 252 brush and blend:

Apply Gesso e/s in inner corner and half way on the lid with BE Foil brush (the safari looking one) Or you can use MAC’s 239. Using a patting motion, pack on the color, taking it right to the corner then to the bottom lashline about half way:





Before you apply the black shadow make sure you apply scotch tape at an angle from where your brow ends to the outer corner of your eye. Now use Carbon e/s and pack on the color on the other half of the lid. Its okay if it goes over the tape, its supposed to!





Now blend, blend and blend way! I took the 217 brush and blended carbon e/s in gesso e/s very lightly in a circular motion to get the desired effect.



Apply your highlight color, I used Ricepaper e/s here on my brow bone and blended it to get rid of the harsh line on top of the crease:

Now remove the tape, and wipe away or brush off the excess shadow that has fallen on the face. I used Neutrogena’s Makeup Remover Wipe:

Curl lashes if needed, I am using my fav Ardell’s Heated Lash curler; apply mascara of your choice, I am using Too Faced Lash Injection; fill in brows, I used my VS brow pencil in brown and then brushed them across with my brow comb:

Apply lipstick - 3N; apply lipgloss - Bonus Beat:

Apply Falsies: I am using Sassi’s #600 with Duo Surgical Adhesive, bending it slightly so that it will stick on better and fit with my eye shape; I also wait a few secs before I put it on, that way its tacky and it won’t move around.

Now apply liner: I am using blacktrack f/l with my Ms. Makeup’s angled brush on the upper lash line with the angled tip in the inner corner for a precise line going half way on the lid; then I switch the angle so it is facing my outer corner and I start half way on the lid and move to the outer end. I then go over it with bootblack liquid liner; then I take smolder eye kohl and line my waterline and outer bottom corner about half way where gesso meets.

Now I finish the rest of my face: I applied Harmony Blush to contour my cheekbones making a ‘fishie face’ by starting at the top (at an angle) and then brushing it down to where my cheeks are hollow with my EOB dome blush brush; then blend in Sweetness Blush as my cheek color with my EOB angled brush:

Now the finishing touch! I applied my MSF in Medium Dark with my 182 all over my face; then I applied MSF Warmed on the apple of my cheeks, down the nose and on the forehead as a highlight:

Oh no I am not done just yet!

FIX+ BABYYYYYYY It sets the makeup and makes your skin look and feel FRESH!!!

Now let me take that hideous headband off my head and be normal again:

CCs, feedback, suggestions are all welcome! Its my first tut and I want to make my future tuts more enjoyable and better. So please, do not hesitate to fill me in on the what to do’s and dont’s. I hope everyone enjoyed it and now can replicate the ultimate KK look with an edge. Until next time folks, ciao!
