Tutorial: Gingerbread

Hey girlies! Today's tutorial is a Holiday Gingerbread look! The eyes are very nutral and gold and the rest of the face is inspired by the frosting and decorations on my gingerbread man! So hope you all enjoy <3

Starting by concealing all your blemishes, and once everthing has been done set your makeup with a translucent powder! Now moving towards your eye area, prime your eyelides. Then Using a shimmery bronze eyeshadow put this all over your lid! Then using a dark brown color blend this out to the crease (I'm using Satin Taupe from M.A.C). Now using a clear glitter add htis over your bronze to add more sparkle! Next I added pink between the brown and bronze, blend this out really well so it does not look cakey!!!! Lastly I lined my water line with a bronze flat eyliner from NYC (Shout out: Thanks Heather for getting me that! I love it!!)

Ok now your eyes are done! Moving on to my cheeks, you want them to look very playful! I'm making them very bright and frosty ,like you've been out in the cold for a long time! Ok so I started by using Maybelline's blush in Cranberry Frost, I just dotted this onto my cheeks (do not blend!!) Then using a bright pink eyeshadow (yes. I said eyeshadow) apply this to the apples of your cheeks, now you can blend your blush in a circular motion!

Now moving on to our lips! Conceal around your lips to start (this makes your lips appear fuller and bigger). Then using a red lip liner fill in your lips (Don't just line them, filling them in provides a long lasting base!!) Then using an angled lip brush get a bright red color on the brush and apply this to your lips (I'm using channel's rouge red, which I stole from my mother!). Now add a little bit of gloss, (I'm using MARK'S cranberry red). Now your lips are done, to add a little more emphasis to your lips you can add some highlit to your cupids bow!
Hahha! I was Daydreaming <3


Loving the rosy cheeks!

don't over do your eyes make them soft and sweet
