Tutorial: Dramatic Club Makeup

My friend came down from Alberta on friday, and I haven't seen her in 2 years, so we got to have fun and go out! I wanted to re-create the look I wore out on Saturday to a club, and post a tutorial for it because I loved it! Club makeup needs to be dramatic and flashy, it needs to stand out! It's a little hard to see in the thumbnail but the look is basically a dramatic black and grey smokey eye with a ton of silver glitter! :D A lot of these pictures are pretty bad, I was having a "bad camera day". Let's get started with the tutorial...

Step 1: Prime your eyelids with Urban Decay's Primer Potion.



Step 2: Apply NYX Cosmetic's Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk to your eyelid and blend it out with your finger.



Step 3: Apply Sephora's eyeshadow in Aspen Summit to your lid with a fluffy eyeshadow brush.



Step 4: Apply Maybeline's gel liner in Blackest Black to your outter third of your eyelid. try to create a small wing shape with a small eyeliner brush.



Step 5: Start blending it out with your finger, try to be careful though. You don't want to lose that wing shape.



Step 6: Apply NYX Cosmetic's eyeshadow in Black over the Blackest Black eyeliner. Blend it out really well. (Sorry for the TERRIBLE picture here)


Step 7: Apply No7's mousse eyeshadow in Pewter to your inner corner and blend it out using a small flat eyeshadow brush.



Step 8: Apply a bit of hair spray to a small flat eyeshadow brush, and then dip it in NYX Cosmetic's glitter in Silver. Apply it to your inner corner.


Step 8: Apply Benefit's Smudgeliner in Black to your bottom lashline.


Step 8: Apply a couple coats of Sephora's black mascara.




With flash.



Without flash, catches the glitter a bit better.

Tutorial: Lady Marmalade Inspired

Here's a look I did inspired by Christina Aguilera's look in the Lady Marmalade music video. It's very Moulin Rouge. She wears super dramatic black and red makeup. For the hair, all you need to do is tease (backcomb) your hair all over. Hahaha fun stuff. Here's the tutorial.



Step 1: Using a large concealer brush, apply Bobbi Brown's concealer under your eyes.


Step 2: Apply a light foundation, you want your skin to look pale.


Step 3: Set your foundation with a translucent powder.


Step 4: Apply the bright red colour from the 88 Palette to the middle of your lids.


Step 5: Apply the black colour on the 88 Palette to your inner corners and the outter third.


Step 6: Blend it into the crease.


Step 7: Blend blend blend!


Step 8: Apply that same red colour to the top of your cheekbone and blend outwards.


Step 9: Using the same black colour, go over the crease again with it and blend even more outwards.


Step 10: Highlight your brow bone with the white colour on the 88 Palette.


Step 11: Using a thin eyeliner brush, apply Blackest Black Gel Eyeliner by maybeline to your upper lashline and create a cat eye.


Step 12: Apply Ardell's false lashes in Romantic. I use my fingers to apply them; a personal preference.


Step 13: While the eyelash glue is drying, apply NYX Cosmetic's jumbo eye pencil in Milk to your waterline.


Step 14: Using Benefit's smudgeliner in black, apply a thick line to your lowerlashline.


Step 15: Apply MAC Cosmetic's Cockney Lipstick, some jewelery and you're finished!
