Swatches of each color and it's name so you can use similar colors you own for each step if you don't have the palette I'm using. Click on the picture to enlarge it.
Techniques for a clean line if you need help (can do the same exact thing with any straight edge but tape works especially well since it holds itself to your skin):
TUTORIAL:
First you want to do all your prepping. You don't want to just wake up and start putting your makeup on because that's going to breed bacteria in your makeup and on your brushes and sponges. Your makeup also lasts longer and looks better if you use a clean and moisturized but oil free "canvas." So wash your face and moisturize or whatever your skin care regimen is. I use the proactive system usually but lately I've had to use st ives exfoliating scrub and proactives advanced oil control lotion to help control my oil output since that all but wipes out my makeup by mid day. Also don't do your face makeup until after your eyes are done because every eyeshadow has some fall out and even If you can't see it it makes a dark shadow under and on the side of your eyes. We will clean up and I can and will prove this to you later on.
Also, unless otherwise specified use your crease brush in a back and forth windshield wiping motion just at the top of and above your natural crease. This widens your eyes, especially if you have hooded eyes. If you for some reason want your eyes to look smaller just keep it in your natural crease. THEN when you're in your outer third and outer V you will use your crease brush or fluffy blending brush or whatever brush you prefer and apply eyeshadow in small, fluffy, circular motions. Next, when you're applying to your lid (the inner two thirds of your eye lid), your inner v and your inner eye area next to your nose you will use a soft patting motion. In your arch, waterline, anywhere you put eyeliner, you will use a drawing motion. You will literally be drawing straight lines. You can use that same liner brush or thin shadow brush to blend the arch back and forth after that. In your under eyebrow area under your brow but right at the top of your crease color you will use a large fluffy brush and a soft and wide swiping outward motion. You will also always tap off excess shadow with each dip into your makeup because the idea is to slowly build and blend colors not accidentally add too much and try to figure out a way to fix it. It just looks nicer this way. Don't forget unless otherwise specified you always blend your shadows after application. If your asked to blend from the outer v into the crease you will start with small circular motions then move into windshield wiper motion. You always blend in the manner you applied.Next add concealer on your lids to right under your brows. Then add a colorless eye or face primer to your brows and do your brows as usual and then set them with a setting powder and line all around the edges of the brow, but only on your skin with concealer and blend in carefully. All of these things help keep brows in place all day. Then add eye primer to your lids.
Step one: with your crease or eye contour brush or the bigger end of the included brush put the color Commando in and slightly above crease crease from end to end. Then put the color Tempted in the exact same place on top of that. BLEND.
Step two: in natural crease with same brush put the color Instinct.
Step three: in outer third of eye with same brush or eyeshadow brush pay the color Lethal into outer thirs of lid then with crease or blending brush blend into crease.
Step five: with small and dense brush like small end of included brush put blackjack in your outer v as pictured below then blend out harsh lines but try to keep it close to where it already is.
Step six: with shadow brush put Pre Game on inner two thirds of lid, inner eye and inner V.
Step seven: with your powder foundation take a fluffy blending brush and swipe lightly from top of crease shade to under eyebrow. Then with smaller dense brush, like the smaller end of the included brush add blow under brow from arch to end of brow. Then put blow in inner V.
Step eight: Grab lethal and a liner brush and tightline the top lashes or top waterline and line the bottom lashes only. Then with Blackjack line outer half of bottom waterline.
Step nine: line a winged eyeliner with liquid eyeliner (preferably). Then with a clean liner brush grab the color Blow and line the inner half of your bottom waterline until lashes then continue lining it right under lashes to the end of your eye or until the end of the winged liner. Whichever you prefer.
Finishing:
Add your mascara. I add two coats each of two separate mascaras. A trick I learned a long time ago to give thick and long lashes better than any one mascara.
Now as usual add your foundation however you do that and your concealer on top of that. I conceal under eyes and acne. I use my fingers for concealing acne because I don't want to add bacteria to my acne or spread it elsewhere with a brush. Yuck. Now contour if you like. I like a "nontoured" look only on my cheeks and side of nose for every day. I like more of a highlight and a lot of contour and highlight is just too much for every day wear in my opinion. Then I add blush to the apples of my cheeks and blend outwards and upwards towards temples to elongate my round face. Then I highlight cheekbones to temples, mid nose, forehead, chin and above lip. Add lipstick. Make sure I blend everything in with my kabuki. Add a little bronzer to neck and chest and cleavage (whatever is showing) and a tiny bit of highlight to the top of my breasts so it doesn't look like I'm wearing a mask and I'm done!
