I love the tutorials! Especially the 2nd one, very dramatic. I think the use of fable to explain the process is very creative and fun, but I found it to be confusing in areas (such as the eyeliner directions) due to the lack of implicit detail. Looking forward to spending up big in the sale x

Glittermuffin says:

While I do like the tutorial look, I find it very disappointing that Miss Reckless decides to skip the powder just to have her skin very obviously photoshopped into a poreless mask. Images like these gave me issues as a teenager for they made me think skin like that was natural. I do understand that a beauty shot is intended to look perfect but it really did send out the wrong message to me. I don’t mean to be rude, just wanted to get that off my chest.

Still, I do think the black eyeshadow was very skillfully applied :3

glittermuffin has a good point, although there is something about that comment that disturbs me. teenagers, like the one in the promo add above, have many issues aside from “poreless mask” skin. commonly one can argue photoshopping is a betrayal of the real beauty under the makeup. after saying that, beauty advertising actually promotes teenagers to look well and feel well about themselves. i’ve see n photos of xenia both with makeup and without, they look great but are very different. perfect is the wrong word. i don;t know the right one – = maybe someone can answer.

Don’t get me wrong – I totally do not mind photoshopping in beauty ads, as long as it doesn’t falsify the claims made. And yes, I’ve always had terrible skin and nothing would help, so the idea that perfect skin naturally looks like the first photo (or the many ads in magazines) really did bother me. It seemed like an ideal that was just unreachable and I felt bad and worthless. It really depends on how confident you are about your looks but not every teenager knows what photoshop and makeup can do and a lot of them have body issues already. Maybe I’m too touchy here and I definitely do not mean to shift any blame on Doe or whatever. I just wanted to note that it would have been nice not to claim the one thing and do the other.

Hi Glittermuffin,

I’m sorry to hear that overly-retouched images gave you low self-esteem as a teen. :( I hope you’re doing better now.

I’m not happy with the way the first image was retouched either; very heavy-handed… Sam has a beautiful skin and I like it much better in the other two pictures.

I love the new tutorial! I’m new to your blog but not to Lime Crime, already a happy owner of 2 lipsticks and the primer, I have just taken advantage of the awesome sale and purchased a load of eyeshadows, thank you sooo much!

Jamie Fox says:

I can’t believe this deal Doe! Thanks you so much for giving 55% off some lime crime stuff, and congrats on reaching 55’000 FB Fans!

Colette says:

So excited- this sale practically FORCED me to give in and finally pick up a few Lime Crime goodies. I grabbed the primer, a Medusa eyeshadow, and the Coquette lipstick. Can’t wait to do the smokey-eye-nude-lip look, Lime Crime style. :D

Just crossing my fingers now that my order comes in before Halloween- that is exactly what I need to complete my ensemble.

Sonia says:

Too bad you don’t still have the suuuuper sparkly eyeshadows…I should have stocked up back when I had the chance :(

Any chance they’ll be back?

geringe says:

seriously? no one points out that this is seriously just a HUGE rip off of taylor momsen’s look? the model even looks identical to her. eh, whatever.

I knew it was associated with Taylor Momsen the second I read “Miss Reckless”. Although I wouldn’t say it’s a rip off, but more of an inspired look.
