tutorial time: boho blue

Hello! Right now I have the puffiest cheeks in the world after getting my wisdom teeth out (why haven't humans just evolutioned them away/why don't animals have wisdom teeth??) so unfortunately I can't do a video tutorial for this look but hopefully a text tut is okay. I usually don't plan my makeup before going out but this is what I came up with while my boyfriend was telling me to hurry up~! btw I took these pics in the car so apologies for the oh so glamorous background.

Click through for a how to!


FACE: Prep with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer, applying Too Faced Shadow Insurance on problem areas (for me, under the eye and on pigmentation). Buff in Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation with the MAC 130 brush and top with Inglot Loose Powder to set. Illamasqua Ambition Powder Blusher is applied slightly in the hollows of the cheek, blending the colour softly upwards onto the apple. Add a tiny touch of Sugarpill Poison Plum riiight in the hollow to contour. Highlight along the cheekbones and down the bridge of the nose with Illamasqua Ether Powdered Metal. Finish with a good spritz of MAC Fix+.

LIPS: Line with Illamasqua Medium Pencil in Debonair, fill with Illamasqua lipstick in Kontrol and add shine with Benefit Ultra Shine in Dancing Queen. I ended up not liking it as much once I left the door and ended up putting a layer of Illamasqua Atomic on instead, but no pics of that... everything came off when I started drinking anyway!


EYES: Define brows as usual, then prime with a thin layer of Lime Crime Candy Eyed Eyeshadow Primer first off. Then apply Too Faced Cop a Teal on the outer corner, blending into Sugarpill Afterparty on the inner corner. Define crease and wing out with Too Faced Nice Ash, also drawing up at an angle from the inner corner to the arch of the brow, fading out as you go. Apply Sugarpill Lumi as a brow highlight over Too Faced In the Buff to add an ethereal sheen.


With Inglot Gel Liner in 77, draw a thickly winged cat eye, fading from the outer corner of the wing inwards (see image, kind of hard to explain!) and line the waterline. Redefine the top lashline with Benefit Magic Ink. Top lashes are no-brand from Malaysia while bottom lashes are The Face Shop iVi, cut in half. Voila!
