Baltimore Ravens Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Still getting the hang of this tutorial stuff, but here is my first attempt. I dont specify colors, because as I've learned from using other people tut's for my looks, you may not always have those EXACT colors/brands. I prefer to keep it open to tweaking per individual. That being said, here we go...

 

A clean face is vital. I also suggest using a primer product. It helps your makeup stick to your skin better and smooths your skin giving you a great, workable surface.

 

Again, Im not specifying brands and specific colors. Be creative. Add your own twist and flare. Think of this as more of a guideline than a set in stone kinda thing. 

 

I also dont get hung up on brush sizes, types, etc. Use what you have. This is a simple look so it doesnt particularly matter as long as you cover the area and blend well. 

 

Just in case there's any confusion, I used the shade that the tip of the brush is laying in :) 

 

Apply the purple shade about 2/3 of the way to your brow bone, try to keep the color evenly distributed over your lid, it makes blending easier in the next step

I always prefer matte colors for blending. IMO it gives a cleaner, more balanced blend...

Using the matte purple,lightly trace the top edge of the darker purple, then blend in an "Up and Out" motion. When you finish the colors should be combined seamlessly across your lid. I also applied a black eye liner along my upper lid during this step.

 

The highlight across your brow is going to bring definition and depth to your look, and its simple to achieve!
Just lightly apply the pink right below the arch of your eyebrow! Remember to blend it out toward the outer corner of your eye.

 

Line your bottom lid along the water line with black eyeliner, then accent it with the gold pigment that we began with using a small, thin brush for accuracy. This is the only time I highly suggest a special brush.

 

Last, but certainly not least, apply two coats of mascara in your preferred lengthening formula, allowing mascara to dry slightly between coats.

 

Whenever I opt for bold colors on my eyes, I always find it wise to go with a neutral lip shade. Otherwise, you may end up looking a bit TOO made up and perhaps a bit clownish. Again, just my opinion. It depends on each individual however. 

And there you have it! My very first, full length tutorial! I hope you've enjoyed it. I'd love to see pics, and read comments from anyone who gives it a go! :) 

Thanks for reading!
