I finally decided to post some makeup tutorials on here. Hopefully, I can buy a normal camera and take better pictures in the future. lol.

Eyes:

Line your water line and tight line before you begin with a black eye pencil.

I applied my Goth red eyeshadow (long ago when Hot Topic was still awesome, they sold this. Very pigmented and affordable). I basically just grabbed it on my brush and felt for my orbit (that bone that goes around your eye) and followed it in a back and forth motion, starting on the outside so most of the color was in the outside and faded as it went inward.

Then, I took a MAC pencil in black (bought it for cheap on Ebay) and I filled in the area of skin that just covers your eye, right underneath the orbit bone to create a base for the black eyeshadow. Blend it first to make sure it's not too clumpy and thick under there. I just blended it with my finger, but you can use a blending brush, too.

I grabbed some Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Eyeshadow in "Fierce" on a different brush, a very pretty black with silver glitter and went over the black base area, making it as black as possible. I recommend patting the color on with your brush, as this causes the color to be more pigmented than sweeping and I don't know about you, but I want it as black as possible.

Then, we highlight! I used a white from one of my Milani mini pallets (you can get it at Walgreens or Target, I believe. It's the one with white, several shades of silver, and a very faded black color). It's 04 "Backstage Basics Fashion Shadows" and went right underneath my brow and on the inner corners of my eye, slightly taking up some of the red to make a pale pink color. Then, I took some on a pencil brush and went into the inner corner and made a very small v shape directly around my eye (just around the little pink part, forget what that's called).

I took my brush that I applied the red with and took some color under my eyes, too, slightly blending it with the black liner on my water line.

Curl your lashes and apply mascara. I wish I had some lash glue because I like false lashes with Gothy eyeshadow. I use Great Lash mascara in black. you can get it at any drug store.

Brows:

All I did to my brows is I used some clear mascara as a gel to keep them looking well-groomed. I used Great Lash, which you can get at the drug store.

Foundation:

I applied my foundation afterward, called Cover FX cream total coverage in EO (you can get it at Sephora), a very light color. It's a high-coverage and very expensive foundation. I bought it years ago when I had bruises and it covers them pretty well. I normally wear light coverage, but I like this one. it matches my skin better than my Tru Match. Then I went over it with Bare Naturals transparent powder to eliminate as much shine as possible. The thing about Cover FX is it has a dewy appearance on your skin, which I kind of like once it's been toned down with powder. I applied the cream foundation with my fingers, making sure to get the color evenly blended and used a semi-large powder brush for the translucent powder.

Lips:

I lined and filled in my lips with L'oreal crayon petite in plums/wines and went over it with Wet and wild Megaslicks in clear gloss. Keep in mind this color is a lot darker in person. The lighting in this picture sucks.

Voila!

Beauty recommendation:

Use sugar, honey, and olive oil as a skin exfolient! It works great and is a lot better than spending a ton of money on something not as good for your skin.
