Hey, friends, welcome back.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Courtney,
and I have my two standard poodles, Phaedra
and Nyx, hanging out in the room with me,
so if you see them in the background, that's
what they are.
Today's video is sponsored by Colorescience,
so thank you Colorescience for making this
tutorial possible.
I'm very excited, because I get to debut their
Total Eye 3-in-1 SPF 35 product.
It launches on February first on Colorescience
website, and it will be available for pre-order
from January 23rd, which should be today.
This is a three in one treatment product.
It has SPF 35.
It's supposed to correct around the eye area
with neutral peach tone, and with continued
use it's supposed to address issues such as
fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles under
the eyes.
This is what the applicator looks like for
this eye cream product.
It's supposed to be cooling when you put it
on and reduce any puffiness.
Now, I've already put on my SPF 55 from Emme
Diane all over my face, and I'm going to go
ahead and put this on next.
And it's actually kind of neat because you
just pull down, let me see if you can see
this, you just pull down like this to get
out product.
And then you dot it around your eye area.
I did half a pump.
And then I'm going to smooth it with my finger.
And I was a little nervous at first because
I don't usually use tinted primers very much,
but I find that this light peachy color is
actually very neutral because it does blend
in pretty well with my skin, and it covers
up any discoloration.
I don't really have dark circles.
Sometimes, very rarely, you'll see a little
bit of dark purpley right here at my inner
corner, but that's only if I've had very little
sleep.
And this feels really good when you put it
on the skin.
I basically feel like, when I'm looking it,
it blends out pretty seamlessly.
You can see a slight peach tint.
I'm just going to go ahead and set this with
the Milani Prep Set Go setting powder and
a big fluffy brush.
This is a bdellium 787.
And I will be primed and ready to put on eye
makeup.
Now, you guys asked for me to do a tutorial
on that cut-crease look that I did with Stila
Cosmetics Cloud, so that's what I'm going
to do for you.
I basically use two different pallets for
that.
The Kat Von D Pastel Goth, which is no longer
available.
But if you're looking for similar colors to
what I'm going to be using, because I'm going
to be using Meow and Dope.
I would recommend checking out the Sigma Crème
de Couture palette, because it has some pastel
colors.
And also, Darling Girl makes some really nice
matte pastels, too, if you like those eyeshadow
format.
I'm just running my brush over both of those
purple colors, because I want to create a
soft purple transition crease.
And then, I am blending, basically, when I'm
applying this, in circles.
And I'm using the Sigma E25 just to build
up the color on the lid, well on my transition,
so on my hood.
And I'm going to go ahead and bring this color
down onto my lid and my lower lid.
So now that I have the purple all over my
eye I'm going to take another brush, and this
is the Sigma E35, and just blend in circles
all over to make sure this is pretty soft.
This is one of my Soft Spots brushes.
It's basically just a light, fluffy brush
that's smaller than what I was using before.
I just want to add more depth to my purple,
which is why I'm layering it.
And I'm not going up quite as high as I went
on the other color.
This color has quite a bit more pigmentation
than the Kat Von D colors, so it can be really
easy to go overboard, so use a very light
hand.
So, what I did last time after I finished
this step, was I went back to the color Meow,
which is the lighter of the two purples, it's
more like the pinky purple from the Kat Von
D Patel Goth palette.
And I started blending this at the inner crease.
And our lower lid.
I just feel that layering these purples makes
it look more like it has more depth.
I'm going to take the Nyx 31 brush with lilac,
which is like a pastel, lighter purple matte,
and help to blend the outer edges of this,
right on the brow bone.
I just think it's going to make for a smoother
looking eyeshadow look.
I'm actually going to go ahead and do my brows
next, just because that'll help me with my
eye shape.
This is Queen of the Fill in black.
And I really need to get my brows shaped and
tinted because they're looking pretty sad
right now.
I'm just blending that tinted brow gel through
my brows.
This is my favorite brow pencil, it's the
Color Pop jet set black.
So, this part is probably a little bit different
than what you've ever seen.
This technique was actually taught to me by
one of the girls in the PhyrraNyx Facebook
group.
I believe that her name is Maria.
So, what I'm going to do is basically take
the Stila Cloud, and I'm going to kind of
paint this heavily onto my lid because I want
it to transfer when I blink.
And then I'm going to use a brush to clean
it up.
So I am absolutely trying to blink to make
it transfer as much as possible on my hooded
eyes, because that's going to show me how
high to take the color for my hooded eyes.
And then I'm just going to grab a short little
round brush.
Until I met Maria I'd never seen anybody do
that whole blink technique, but I do think
it really works.
And then, how far you take it to your outer
corner is obviously personal preference, but
I'm going to actually bring some eyeshadow
out there, so I don't want to bring it all
the way out.
I really just use this little brush to fix
the shape.
And I feel like, by doing this, it makes your
hooded eye shape work for you rather than
against you.
And then, I'm taking more of that color cloud
on this little brush to do my inner corner.
Well, really the inner V hood.
There you go.
So now that I have that on, I'm going to go
back to the Kylie palette and use the color
blueberry, which is like this dark cool gray.
It's a really great color.
Putting a little bit of that dark cool gray
on the brush, and I tapped off the excess,
and I'm going to go where the color cloud
meets the purple, maybe slightly above it,
and start blending at that line with this
brush.
And I'm doing this very gently.
And I'm going to bring it down on the outer
corner of my lid, kind of in the outer V accent
area.
And the outer lower lid.
And don't worry, we're going to go back and
blend this.
I'm kind of doing a cut-crease, but we're
going to blend it out, so don't think it's
just going to stay like that.
I'm just going to make the other side match.
Going to go back to Turning Violet from the
Kylie palette.
And this is another detail smudger brush.
And right along the top, where that gray color
is, I'm hitting that with the purple on this
brush.
And just really blending this out really more.
And we're going to go back with another color,
so don't worry, it's still not going to be
this harsh.
Now we're going to go back with Lilac, which
is the pastelly purple.
And blend those colors.
And I'm using the Nyx 31 brush for this.
I'm going to go back with Meow and the Sigma
E25.
I'm going to clean up the fall-out under the
eyes, and just shape the eyeshadow just a
little bit more.
And then I'm going to go back with a little
bit more of the Colorescience, and just put
a tiny little bit on a brush, my Sigma P89.
Just cleaning up around the eye with the Colorescience.
I did buy a new eyeliner to try a bunch of
you recommended to me.
It's the Physicians Formula Ultra Black eyeliner.
So I'm going to see how this works.
And hopefully it works well.
I'm really just lining at the upper lash line.
I also bought a new pencil to try for tight
lining.
This is the Wonder Two Super Stay liner in
black.
So, I'm going to try and tight line with this.
This is Sigma Final Touch.
I'm going to put this on my lower water line.
I did pick up the Smashbox Photo Finish eye
primer to try with this mascara, because I
haven't used a lash primer in a while.
Holy crap.
Well, it looks like this is going to give
me some nice length.
I almost forgot to tell you that if you use
the coupon code TOTALEYECN, which I'm going
to put on the screen and the description box
down below, you can get a free mascara whenever
you order the total 3-in-1 eye cream.
Let's see how this works.
I think I'm liking the mascara and the primer
together.
I'm going to put on my Hourglass Veil mineral
primer.
And I already have a pretty good amount of
glow going on from my Emme Diane SPF sunscreen,
SPF 55.
I'm going to put on my Idun Minerals Nordic
Veil foundation in the shade Jorunn mixed
with just a drop of the Hourglass.
And as somebody with dry skin, I really prefer
my skin to be glowy, as apposed to super matte.
This is the Nyx sponge, and if you haven't
seen these sing its praises, I think it's
my favorite, I think it actually beats out
the beauty blender for me now.
So now I'm going to set it with my Laura Gellar
Balance-n-Brighten in porcelain.
And I do this because it basically helps my
foundation to last all day.
I'm going to put on Physicians Formula plum
rose blush.
This is absolutely my little trick for blush.
If you don't know how far to take your blush,
put two fingers here, and then do a little
back and forth swish shape.
I'm going to add a teeny tiny little bit of
contour with the Physicians Formula Murumuru
Butter Bronzer.
And then I'm going to use my Artist Couture
Jackie Aina highlighter in La Peach.
I'm basically going to use this as a blush
topper highlighter, because then I'm going
to go in with another highlighter.
And I'm going to go in for the coup de grâce
with my Makeup Geek Celestial Highlighter,
my favorite highlight.
I'm just doing this right under the eyes.
I'm going to use it to highlight the eyes,
as well.
So sort of in a C-shape around the eye, and
then I'm going to go under the brow and at
the inner corner.
Just so I have a little bit more extra highlight
going on.
So this is more Makeup Geek Celestial just
right under my brows.
And then I'm going to go ahead and highlight
at the inner corner with it.
I'm going to add a teeny tiny bit more blush
with Urban Decay's Rapture.
Just a really tiny bit.
I'm excited because I have a new lip product
to try.
This is Marc Jacobs.
And the color is, it's on here somewhere,
Night Mauves, like night moves.
So I just put on Marc Jacobs Night Mauves
lip pencil.
This is actually from their, I think, new
liquid lipstick line.
Yeah, it's the new liquid lip crayon.
So I'm really excited to try this.
I'm going to put a teeny tiny bit of Huda
Beauty Snobby at the center of my lips.
This is from my new Give Me Some Lip kit from
Sephora.
I'm back from having to take Nyx outside to
go potty.
It was a very impromptu potty break in the
rain.
And I ended up blotting this because the gloss
made the lipstick come off on my teeth, which
I hate.
I do like the slightly iridescent effect from
it though.
So I'm going to go ahead and zoom in so you
can see the finished eye look.
So here's the finished eye look.
I want to say thank you again to Colorescience
for sponsoring this tutorial.
Let me know if you decide to check out the
Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy SPF 35 product.
I really do love it as an eye primer and color
corrector, and I think it's awesome that it
as extra skin benefits for fine lines around
the eyes, and the SPF 35 because you know
I'm crazy about wearing SPF since the sun
is so brutal here in Florida.
