More photos from the ‘Leprechaun’ shoot on Monday!
INGREDIENTS
- Eyes: Taupe & black eyeshadows, green glitter
- Lips: dark cherry lipstick
- Blush: bronzer
- Eyeliner: liquid liners in black and metallic green for the ‘crease’
I apologize for the brevity of this tutorial – hardly a tutorial at all! I am so pressed for time that I didn’t get a chance to write out the instructions. I tried to take the best close-ups I could – how many of you can read directly from the pics? I wonder if verbal tutorials are necessary at all in the future. Let me know your opinion!
Quick update:
The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of craziness and excitement for me! I learned more about makeup production and color than I ever could imagine. It’s a fascinating world that I’m elated to be a part of!
Guys, thank you SO MUCH for all the excited emails you’ve been sending – keep them coming! My inboxes are stuffed, but happy. :) Makeup truly is my passion, and having your support means the world to me!

I think people that have been doing makeup for awhile and have a pretty good handle on it don’t need full instructions in a tutorial, but people who are newbies need full descriptions!
Also, this is a very beautiful look! I love that you used a dark, emerald green – my favourite colour!

Since I’m a total newbie with everything make up wise, the written explanation is actually really helpful to me. I can’t wait to pick up your line and start experimenting!

I wore your purple eye shadow for my birthday day dinner and it was AMAZING!!! Everyone kept asking me what brand it was from, It was bright and didn’t rub off all night. I usually have a hard time finding make-up since I’m have extremely sensitive skin especially around my eyes, but your mineral shadow was great for my skin, I can’t wait to see more of your make-up collection!

OMG, I LOVE emerald green! And of course, there’s going to be a phenomenal version of the color in my line ;)

Thanks for your input, sweetie!

That color is called Empress. :) Purple is definitely a hot color on you!

i ADORE the colors in this! purple and green contrast amazingly together, and that coat is to die-for!

I’m sort of make-up handicapped when it comes to applying make-up. I’ve been following your tutorials for YEARS, and I still need the written instructions. -hangs head in shame-

I’m fantastic with colour, not so great on doing makeup, so every time you put something like this up, I’m totally drawn in.
With your skin tone, pretty much everything in the way of colours you use look AWESOME. You’ve got a beautiful face already and the makeup doesn’t take away from that at all. You have the ability to layer the colours in a way that makes them pop without overdoing it, which I can do on a canvas with paints but can’t seem to do with makeup yet, so go you for having fantastic skills! Keep the awesome coming :)

I really love the taupe shadow! I definitely want some of that. This shoot looks really interesting! In an awesome way of course! Can’t wait to see the other photos. You’re the hottest leprechaun I’ve ever seen. Haha <3

I think your written tutorials are fantastic and makes things really simple for people who are not proficient in applying makeup. Personally, I rarely wear makeup but can do something light and natural well. The more fancy stuff, like your lovely work, is harder for me so the detailed tutorial really helps. The photos are lovely though and help a lot.

I havent boughten any new eye shadows lately :(
however, your Lime Crime eyeshadows (and now this lovely lip frosting!) has so so excited that i squirm about in my seat like a puppy!
I think it would be awesome if you gave tutorials that made eyes pop, like brown shadows for blue eyes and the such.
Or find a way for green eyeshadows to make blue eyes pop ^^

I think directions are always helpful. Sometimes I can look at something and just have a complete mental blank on what I’m seeing and how to translate it. I am really excited about the make up!

I like reading your makeup tutorials. But just looking at them helps too. Unless you wanted to do a step by step picture set…but that would take forever.

I’d like to see a close up of those lips! Can’t wait for your make up line.

To please both worlds, newbies and makeup veterans alike, I think you would be great in doing video tutorials! :D

Gosh I love this look – the colours are so amazing, especially the lip colour!
I think a quick written tutorial would be great. I can sort of tell where all the colours go but it would be nice to know exactly what’s going on to make it easier. :D

lovely! personally i don’t need a written tutorial, but a product list would be helpful. :)

I think even so called pros need a tutorial. I’m pretty skilled at it, and I thinks it’s helpful to have a walkthrough on what colors you used to create a certain effect and whatnot.
But I totally love this new pic!
