This Friday we have a guest look by Mosh, which is a collaboration between her and the photographer Redrum. Everybody knows Mosh is a spectacular model, but did you know she is also a skilled makeup artist?

INGREDIENTS

Eyes
Apply primer to create a crease-free and smooth base for the eyeshadows. Once the primer is set, apply Nymph all over eye (cover up to the eyebrows and down to the bottom lash line). Applying a lighter shadow as base will create for a more subdued color effect and make blending easier. Use a thinner brush to apply Snow Queen on the brow bone as a highlighter. Use enough to saturate the area with a slight mint green tint!

With the medium sized brush apply Princess Caraboo to the inner corners of your eyes and slightly out towards the outer corners. Use the same brush to apply Mermaid on the outer corner, then blend into Princess Caraboo for a smooth color change. Also apply Mermaid on the lower lash line. With a fine brush, dip the tip into water and then pick up some Mermaid pigments for a more opaque look, line your lower lash line. Go back over the crease in the outer corner with Enchant (dark green, almost black).

Use the black liquid liner to line your eye. With a bushy brush, lightly dip the tip into Princess Caraboo. Tap this brush over top your lower lash line area in the outer corner to achieve the speckled effect. Be careful to not pick up too much of the pigments as you don’t want a big clump of color to attach itself to your eye, you want an even and fine peppered effect.

Face
I have been using Laura Mercier’s oil-free foundation in Porcelain Ivory and Stila’s perfecting concealer in shade AA or B. Set the foundation with a powder, I use either MAC’s select sheer in NC5 or L’Oreal Loose Powder. Apply blush to cheekbones.

Lips
Pick up some Nymph pigments and mix them into a glob of a clear gloss with a lip brush. Make sure you mix well! You want a creamy and smooth concoction. My suggestions for a clear gloss are either N.Y.C.’s Kiss Gloss in Cool Mint (Clear), or MAC’s Clear Lipglass.

Thank you Mosh for offering such a wonderful tutorial – you’re a doll!
