My attempt at contouring:

Face: KIKO full protection stick foundation in 06 just to warm up my face
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Permanent Taupe to contour
Shaka eyeshadow in Over the Taupe to set the contour
Benefit High beam for highlight, with a bit of Mac Pro longwear concealer in NC35 under/around the eyes.
Clinique almost powder in 03 light to set the highlight
NARS blush in Gilda

Topped off highlight with coconut oil to make it look like skin.

Eyes: Essence liquid eyeliner
Maybelline great lash in blackest black
Shaka eyeshadow in Over the Taupe on crease
KIKO perfect eyes duo pencil on lid and tear duct.

Eyebrows: MUFE aqua brow in shade 25, and Maybelline brow drama in medium brown.

Lips: project lip liner - shade unspecified (nude)
Coralista lip gloss

Pretty sure that's it.

Your contouring is pretty fab :) I want to let you know, though, that your eyeshadow looks a little uneven, I think. Maybe it's the angle, but something about the way the brown shade dips in towards your lid instead of remaining a smooth line is jumping out at me. Of course, it could just be the angle of the picture, so I wouldn't worry too much about it, but do you see what I mean?

Oh yes, that is a scar unfortunately, it'll never leave me :(

My poor naked eye :(

I'm sorry to have made that mistake! Really, I didn't mean to call attention to a scar. It actually really isn't noticeable in the picture without makeup, though. Of course, I'm nearly legally blind...but technicalities! Lol.

Actually, do you have any suggestions to make my eye look smooth and scar-less? I'm struggling so much! Even Mac Pro longwear won't work like I want it to!

Oh and seriously don't worry, I got it being a stupid 15 year old.. It looked terrible :/ it's my lesson and to everyone else: please don't drink when you're too young to know better!

Thanks Navi! I never really contour, but I really wanted to get it right!

Hmmmm. Scars are tricky because they're a totally different texture than the rest of your skin...do you mean the Pro Longwear concealer? Because I think that that may be a little bit lighter (texture/consistency wise) than you would want to cover a scar. You might be able to try a thicker concealer, like Tarte or Nars (you can always get samples first, to try) or maybe try a tinted primer like Urban Decay's Eden. These will all help with the slightly different color of the scar, but it's really hard to make scar tissue appear to blend into your skin. Honestly, I'd ask Alma or Jackie; they're both professionals that I'm sure have the knowledge to help you out. Alma is a master at covering things, also, have you seen her before/after foundation picture? It's crazy. So I'd ask one of them what they recommend :)

Ahhhh don't worry I have stupid stories like that, too :) we're all too young at least once, right?

Jul 11, 2014

Breeze T.

Thank you very much! I'll try asking :)

Jul 11, 2014

Breeze T.

Oh and yes, I mean the Mac pro longwear concealer.
Oh Em... The mythical Kat Von D products... Unfortunately I live in Italy and they're not available here :(
I might even try Vichy dermablend, which should be very full coverage.

Em, it is very beautiful here! But we don't get half the products they sell in the US, and usually they're crazy expensive because they're imported! That's why every time I visit my family in the states I stock up on makeup!

I'm not a professional but I find a thick cream concealer really helps make the scar surface easier to apply shadows to, mine ruins my eyeliner -.- and I set the concealer before I apply shadows. It helps a little but it doesn't completely make the surface perfect to work on

Breeze, you look so so beautiful. So fresh and glowy, your skin is perfection. And your
Brows are the perfect shape I love this!

Breeze T.

Thank you, Caitriona! I'll try so many, I'm afraid!
And Lauren, thank you! I tried really hard!

Em, I kinda gave up on that front. I'm using a thing like bio oil but without the mineral oil in it. But I'm not even trying anymore... Lol
Thank you so much :)

You're flawless. You did great! Your skin is amazing

Thank you Renay! I don't like the look of made up skin so I really like using coconut oil on top lightly, it's my not-so-secret trick!

When I was 7 I was in car accident And it gave me a y shaped scar in the middle of my forehead when the stitches came out I was told to put cocoa butter and an oil on it I can't remember what it was though and it actually really helped I'm 19 now and people say its really not noticeable at all and even I sometimes don't notice it I know this won't help you now but I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone. I still have to put sunblock on it or it will turn red still though the picture is pretty hard to see it but its there
