Bumblebee Eyes

Hello :)
I realize it's been nearly a year since the last post, and I feel that I should apologize for that. If anyone would like to join as a makeup artist, contact me on Stardoll or leave a comment under the 'Join Us' tab. If you've left a comment there, and no one has replied, again, sorry. But without further ado, I present to you a new tutorial :P



Bumblebee Eyeshadow 

This is the overall look..
 

 Apply Sunny Bunny Fake Lashes. I try to place them at the edge of the black kohl liner so that they look much longer. Feel free to change them after you have the liner on.

 Here, I've applied these three colors of blush. As you might've noticed in the picture above, the apples of the cheeks where a lighter color than the rest of the face. I use the skin tone blush to cover that color rather well, I feel that it adds definition and depth to the cheeks somehow. It probably has to do with the shadows and what not, I'm sure you'll see if you do it to your doll. Then I lined the shape of the cheeks with the hot pink blush. If you notice, a little under the nose, on each side of the jaw, there's a shadow, sort of like a line. You might be able to notice it more easily on the right side, see how towards the bottom it gets a little darker? I like to follow that for the bottom part of the blush. Then I filled in with the lighter pink over the skin colored blush applied first.
Now for the eyes. I applied liquid liner in the small gap there is in the eyes under the iris, mostly between the pupil and the inner corner of the eye. Then I did the white kohl liner and the black kohl liner. A little tip to make sure you don't run out of liner before you finish is to do the white liner in the inner corner of the eyes, then fill in with the black pencil, and lastly fill in that little gap I was talking about before. Add your volumizing and lengthening mascaras and you're done with this bit.


 I changed the hairstyle so that it would be easier to show the eyeshadow. At the bottom of the picture are the four colors that I use for the eyes. Begin with the black and wing it out, beginning around the pupil. Keep in mind there's a color under it, so don't make the black wing too short.


 Here's the tricky part that makes the whole look. Using the yellow eyeshadow, curve it around the black kohl. Like a second layer of kohl. It's fine if it's a bit messy, the slight overlapping when you're zoomed in will look like smudging when you zoom out. 
 Add the pink from the pupil to the outer corner, covering the brow bone between the black and the eyebrow to complete the eye makeup and define the brow bone.

 Add any accesories you want to finish off the look. I used the black arrow statement makeup from Splendid I think it was.


Enjoy :D
