Makeup Mayhem: Eyes on the prize
By Destroyx | December 17, 2009
Eyes: Miss X loose eyeshadows and gel eyeliners. Debaser gel eyeliner was not only used on the eyes but on the eyebrows. Available from Surgeon-x.com (Australian based store) and Black Pill Red Pill (USA based store).
Eyelashes: Miss X ‘Dolly Rocker’ eyelashes (not yet currently available online).
Lips: MAC Ruby Woo lipstick (matte finish)
Face: MAC Studio Fix, MAC Select Cover-up, MAC Blot Powder, MAC Beauty Powder blush in ‘feeling’.
Lately I have been using Mac Prep + Prime which I find is working very nicely in preparing my skin for makeup as it seems to dry to a matte finish. Here I also used a MAC 187 duo fibre brush to apply my MAC Studio Fix which works very well in achieving a light even application of foundation. I also used MAC Select Cover up the darkness under my eyes and to cover up any redness on the face.
For the cheeks use a large blush brush to achieve a ‘barely there’ application of blush. I used a MAC 134 Large Blush brush which is particularly good because it is very fluffy which makes blending super easy.
Gel down eyebrows with brow wax or simply use hairspray (as I normally do!). Then using a brush with a sharp edge, apply Debaser gel eyeliner, drawing a sharp eyebrow shape that compliments your natural eyebrow shape. I decided to draw strong square ends on the eyebrows, but that might not suit you, so experiment with a shape that does.
Since the eyebrows are so strong in this look, I decided to slightly tone down the eye makeup, making it a simple smokey eye look with a dash of red.
Prime eyes first using Two Faced Shadow insurance or Urban Decay’s Potion Primer. Using an eyeshadow brush apply Black Alice to your eyelids. Next using a clean brush blend Coma (white) into the Black Alice. Lastly apply Diamond dogs (glittery white) to your upper brow bone for a sparkly highlight. Under the eyes, apply a touch of Car Crash Red in the inner corner and blend it in with a touch of Coma (white) outwards. Using an angled eyeliner brush and Debaser, draw a simple cat eye shape. After your eye makeup is finished apply false eyelashes.
Powder your lips first using your foundation. Then using a lip brush (I used the Miss X Flat Definer brush), carefully apply the lip stick; first lining the outer edges of your lips, then working your way towards the middle. I like using a brush with flat edge as it allows me to draw the lip stick on with better precision.

I really like this tutorial! =^.^= The touch of red makes the whole thing come together.

Love the makeup look! I, too, like the sort of bruised look the red gives to it. I should really try out one of your tutorials one of these days, you’re the only person who does makeup tutorials who I look anything at all like. So I always hope that it might work and look okay on me.

You don’t use your own makeup brushes?

Jenni - Thanks sweetheart!
Nubby- Aww… I missed blogging too, which reminds me I gotta finish that long email I started writing you.
Blitz- Dooo iiiiit…
Rebecca- Yeah.. I hate eyebrows too. I just draw them on and hope I can get them even =)
Plague Kitty - I think the red gives it something extra
Disposable Darling- Go for it!
Heartcorecuteness - I only used my makeup brushes for the eyes and the lips. Not all of the Miss X brushes are designed to be used for the face because I don’t sell foundation and blush. I have a lot of brushes from other makeup companies to see how they perform and because they have stuff which I don’t make =)

May I ask where your wig is from? Or is it custom made?
Also: still really excited about your forthcoming accessories line. :D

PVC Sadistic- Aww.. thanks for reading sweet heart
Bex- Thanks sweetheart! I try!
Avarine- Thanks!
Akatsuki- I use an Olympus camera (point and shoot variety)… it’s actually quite an old and crappy camera. I use a fluorescent ring light for the beauty shots.
Dee- I just customised the wig. I bought it from a party shop.. so it’s your regular white bob wig which I added black streaks too.

Hiiiii, I’m a little obsessed with you ^_^”
You made me want to do my makeup course, best time of my life, and I kind of just copied your hair cut, only with an undercut. And black.
You’re an awesome inspiration in so many different ways XD
