Flashtronic Tutorial #1

This is my first tutorial with photos so please bare with me. I tried to use 90% Flashtronic items. The shadows also work REALLY well with a wet brush, so try that out too! The Diagram below should say lovestone, not lovestruck.. opppsy







1. Apply moisturizer all over eye area. Then add a light shade of concealer to hide dark areas. Then blend with sponge. Apply orangish -salmon color to eyes to bring under eye color back to even out your skin tone.

2. Apply Mac base in Luna, then apply Quarry all over lid from lash to brow bone. This color will be used as a highlighter too.

3. Take 217 brush and apply Ether into crease and a bit above your crease.
4. Apply lovestone into crease with a 224 or 222 brush
5. Blend and soften outer corners with blending brush

6.Take a large fluffy brush like the 227 and add Quarry to your inner 1/3 of your eyes and brow bone. Blend blend
7. Using your 219 add Quarry to your inner corner of your eyes. Use a wet brush for best results.
8. Using your 212 damp with water, fix + or mixing medium. Then swipe a bit of Ether ( from the darkest corner of the pot) and line top and bottom outer part of your eyes.

9. Blend blend blend, remember light to dark :)

10. Line your water line and squeeze so that the color will be on top and bottom. Fill in any parts that are missing.

11. Prime lashes with Clinique primer, and Clinique High Impact Mascara.

Flastronic Bride

Everyone knows that the most important day to any girl is their Wedding day. Luckily if you get married at the Venetian in Vegas they take care of almost everything. Here are some close ups of the beautiful bride. I know the photos are small, these are just proofs, the real photos wont be available for another 4 weeks. But by then MAC's Flashtronic will probably be SOLD OUT.
How to get this same look at your wedding, or any day of the week? Just read below my step by step instructions on how to be the perfect bride.

Clean and exfoliate face night before. Don't use anything that you have never tried before.

Face

• Apply Clinique Gel Moisturizer all over face
• Using a wet sponge apply concealer to areas that need concealing. (She typically doesn't wear any makeup, and doesn't need very much coverup. I used MAC Studio Stick in NC 35
  
• MAC Spray Fix + Plus to large brush, I used MAC's 187 brush
  take brush and dab into foundation of choice. I am using Mac's Hyper Real Foundation in NC 35. Fluff all over face for an all over glow.
• For cheeks I used MAC's Flashtronic Skin Finish in Global Glow
• Applied Northern light on the apples of her cheeks, forehead, chin and nose
  
• Temples in a c-shape using Vanilla Pigment
  

Eyes

• Urban Decay Potion Primer over lids
• MAC's Cream color base in Luna all over lids
  
• Naked pigment all over lids
  
• Mac's new Eyeshadow By Jupiter in crease and outer corner
• Used Naked Pigment as highlighter and on inner corner of eyes
  
• Lined eye with same By Jupiter with 266 brush
• Went over eyeliner with Benefit Shelaq to prevent any smudges or smears
• Clinique Lash primer and Lash Doubling
• Duo Lash Glue
• Red Cherry #47 for a dramatic look
• Curl both false and real lashes together with heated lash curler. (done carefully with blow dryer.)

Lips

• MAC's Lipglass in Perfectly Pink. No need for lipstick or liner :)
  

If you have any questions let me know :)

Flashtronic Photo of the Day

Here is my look at this weekend's wedding at the Venetian in Vegas. It was a beautiful wedding, about 40-50 people showed up, so very intimate :)

Make up talk
Face

• Basic Skin Care and Concealer
• MAC Hyper Real Foundation in NC 25 (took a powder brush, sprayed brush with FIX+ then put a bit of foundation from cap onto brush. Then very lightly dusted all over the face.
• Hyper Real Powder in all over (available at MAC PRO)
• Dusted Flashtronic's Gold Spill all over face
• Cheeks -Northern Light
• C -shape around temples in Vanilla Pigment
  
• Spritzed with Fix+ All over
• Brows- Mac's Blonde set
  

Eyes

• Cream Color Base in Luna
• Vanilla pigment all over eyes
  
• Flashtronic "By Jupiter" in crease
• Red Cherry Lashes in #12
  
• Urban Decay 24/7 in Electric
  
• Benefit's Shelaq over eyeliner to prevent smudges

Lips

• Vivacious Lipstick
• Electric Lush Lipglass

Regarding hair...
Its this exact technique as the Pam Anderson hair, but with a cheap curling iron. To make a long story short, my hot tools 3/4 inch curling iron broke in my luggage and I just used this spare that was brought. You can achieve this look on purpose by using two different curling irons a 3/4 inch and a 1 1/4 or bigger. Curl the ends under with the larger iron, and curl the rest with the smaller iron and larger in a rotating motion :)
Then in the front take the clip and instead of going directly on top bring the piece of hair to the side clip and voila!! :)

Flashtronic

Flashtronic is set to Launch July 19th, 2007 in the US,international release date: 6 August 2007. Soo many MAC items will be coming out in the next week. Novel twist will also be out.. but photos of that line are everywhere so I decided to skip a blog on that one. This line is a must have. The skin finishes are a major MUST HAVE. Last time I was only able to pick up Glissade, (a peachy tone "powder") if you typically don't wear powder because its too drying this may be perfect for you. It warms up the skin, and gives you an all over warmth with a touch of shimmer. If you want more shimmer then just build up the color. I believe skin finishes are about $27. As for the shadows and lipglosses we will just have to find out how much we like them!
