The joy of painting.

I'll be sharing the steps I endure to transform myself from an average guy, to a makeup covered lady man thing. I hope you enjoy the following pictures, as well as maybe learn something out of my routine. :) 

The first step of course is to start off with a clean canvas. (Oliver says hello).
Then you're going to want to brush and dry the hair. Followed by either curling or straightening.
Once that is done you're going to want to moisturize and get the mop out of your face so you start with your makeup. 
For foundations I use Revlon Colorstay, in shade 110 ivory, and for a highlight I use L'Oreal true match in ivory as well. 
I use Covergirl translucent powder all over the face, and a light Maybeline powder for a highlight. 
 I use Maybeline color tattoo 05 too cool all over my lid and also in my inner corners, then I use the Maybeline eyestudio Amethyst Ablaze, I use the glitter on top, and then add a bit of pink right below the crease, also dabbing glitter on the white in my inner corners. 

After that I use another Maybeline pallet that has a couple light grey shades, I use the darkest of the two to create a higher crease and blend it out. I also connect the crease to my lower lash line with the same color.  
I line my eyes in black, waterline and lower lash line. Leaving space for the white to stay, as this makes the eyes appear more open and bigger. I set the eyeliner with black eye shadow, and bring a little of the black into my crease to darken the look. 
After that I blend the crease a bit better to give a smoother look, then I apply mascara and lipstick. 
Lastly, I just apply some gloss to give my lips some shimmer. 

I brushed and teased my hair, and the look was finished! 
I hope you guys liked this tutorial.
