Rusty Grunge Glam Tutorial

Rusty Grunge Glam Tutorial

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I felt like doing another Smokey eye. I don’t know what has gotten into me with loving these darker looks, but I’m really feeling myself in them lol. Today I went with a rusty red-ish orange and a black Smokey look. I dipped really lightly into the black since it’s so pigmented, I’ll get into that later in the tutorial. Today’s tutorial is using the BH Cosmetics palette Take Me Back To Brazil. When I get new palettes, I like to use them more than my others. It’s like anything else, new things are so much fun. This palette has so many endless looks you could do with it, and I’ve barely dipped my toes in the water lol. Alright guys, let’s get right into this tutorial!

Starting out this look, it was a complete mess to be honest. I had no idea what I was doing and I ended up with this rusty, sort of grunge look. To me it screams, clean grunge lol. I primed my eyelids with my usual primer and set it with my setting powder. On the lid I packed on the burgundy color all over, then picked up the red and started to blend that in too over the burgundy and up through the crease. On a flimsy fluffy brush, I picked up a tiny bit of black and lightly blended it and half way through the crease and in the outer third. This black is no joke, it’s so pigmented, be aware if your using this palette lol. After that, I picked up both of the red and burgundy shades and softened the edges on everything. I also brought them underneath the lashline to smoke it out. I added a winged liner, tight lined and lined my waterline in black. I had to add lashes to this look, it just wasn’t complete without them. The eyelids were too heavy not to add lashes and lots of mascara.

Navy Smokey Eye

Navy Smokey Eye

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I had a really fun idea. I don’t know if anyone has done this or not before and it sounded like an awesome idea… I let my eleven year old daughter Trinity pick my eyeshadow colors. I wasn’t sure how this would go, she can be kind of crazy lol. Now she didn’t pick a matte all over color or a crease color, so I used my setting powder and my contour cool brown shade. Everything worked out in the end, even though I has some issues blending out the navy eyeshadow. I’ll go into the details when it comes to that part of the tutorial. Let’s get started!

Starting out this makeup look today, I primed my eye lids and set them with my setting powder. Like I said, my daughter did not pick out any matte or neutral colors, so I had to make due with what I had lol. For my crease I took the cool toned brown contour color and built up a nice deep crease. I knew with the navy eyeshadow she picked, I’d need a darker crease to compliment the colors. With the navy eyeshadow, I wet my brush to apply it in the end. I tried it dry and it was looking more black and patchy than navy. This shadow isn’t sold anymore my Ulta, I got it in a holiday train case set. On the center of the lid, I took my ring finger and packed on the color Deep End. This shadow is a deep emerald green with a holographic glitter in it. I tried it with a brush and it went everywhere. So using my finger was the only option, and there was still fallout because it is a glitter and I don’t have glitter glue. Over top of that I went in with a green from the Take Me Back To Brazil palette, the emerald wasn’t popping against the navy like I wanted it to. Adding the green on top was just what this look needed. I ran a little under my bottom lash line along with the navy in outer edge. 

For the rest of this makeup, I did my face like a always do. If you would like to see how I do my face makeup, I’ll link my latest makeup tutorial down below. It was a mermaid inspired look. A lot of the products will be the same. If anything is different, don’t worry I’ll have a full list down below of all my makeup products used in today’s tutorial, along with my brushes and tools. I will have all of my social media links down there too if you feel like following me! I’d love if you followed me and commented and let me know you came from my blog!
