I had this picture as my profile picture at the time of this post:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Many of you have been asking about my profile picture, so here is the make-up tutorial for all of you (special shout out to eu). Remember I did add fake eyelashes and changed my eye colour in the profile picture and I didn't do that in this look.

This is the final eye:

To start with this fun look, I need a more summery tan. To give myself a perfect tan, scrubbing is essential.

Products in this picture:

• Neutrogena PureGlow, Daily heat activating peeling (loosely translated)
• Neutrogena PureGlow, eyecream
• Neutrogena PureGlow, moisturiser - with light tanning effect and SPF
• Sephora Lips, Nourishing lip balm SPF 15 - "Very sexy"

Preparation
I bought this Neutrogena set in Germany on holiday last January and I love it because it does really give a glow. I used the warming scrub to clean all the dirt of the night off. I used the eye cream first and then the moisturiser because I used the moisturiser on my eyes also (I hate having a bronzing effect everywhere and then white eyes :S). I know this is "not done" but it's my face so I do it anyway :P Remember when using products that colour your skin, to work it into your hairline, fade it properly on your neck etc. to ensure no hard lines show you're using a fake tan. I used a lip balm on my lips to moisturise them before I add colour to them later.

This is how my eyes look without anything on them.

Products in this picture:

• Dermalogica, Sheer tint moisture - Medium
• Lancaster, Infinite Bronze - Face bronzer (with 15 SPF)
• Sephora Brand, "Tricks of the Trade" Immediate Wrinkle Filler

Face
I let the previous layer of preparation sink into my skin for about 30 minutes. I needed a little instant colour on my face, I used another moisturiser (only this time it's a tinted one) and a bronzer mixed together.

Using my fingers I worked the mixture into my skin (and hairline), not forgetting giving my ears a little colour and blending out at the jawline. You need to work very carefully (and not be in a hurry) when doing this because you don't want it to look like a mask or have the colour look fake, so take your time. I used the wrinkle filler over this because I don't want my eye makeup to go in the crease.

Products in this picture:

• Benefit, Realness of concealness
• YSL, Touche Eclat - no. 2
• Urban Decay, Eye Shadow Primer Potion
• Benefit, HighBrow

Eye Preparation
Before adding colour to my eyes, I prepared a flawless base to work on. Using the Touche Eclat I took away my dark circles (I slept well so they're pretty minimal today). I used the HighBrow pencil under my eyebrows and blending it out. Prepping my eyelid with the Urban Decay primer. Lastly I added the Lemon Aid under my eye (just under my lash line) using a small flat liner brush and blending it with my fingers. I do this because there will be bright colours there so I need the lash line to be a little lighter. LemonAid is perfect for this because it lightens but doesn't really do anything else, here is a picture of LemonAid:

Eyes
I used Sin on my brow bone and down to my crease. I use a cream eyeshadow by Sephora under my Urban Decay colours to give them an extra metallic sheen as you can see on these swatches:

I used the mushroom colour at the inner and outer corner of my eyelid and the ocean colour in the middle using this palette:


Making the eye look like this at this point:

The colour on my inner corner is Stalker:


Placing the colour with the rounded crease brush here:

Using the Bourjois colour as the middle corner because it has a golden sheen, I took my cleansed rounded crease brush.

Placing it here (and blending into the Stalker colour):

As a corner colour I used Envy using my slanted brush, I love this colour, but after looking for the number online I saw it's no longer sold, so I added Goddess over it to show you that look.

The left colour is Envy, the colour on the right is Sin.
After only using Envy on my outer corner:

Taking my Urban Survival Kit:

to use Goddess and Kiddie Pool.

Taking the slanted brush again I placed the depth of the colour in the crease as can be seen in the picture. Blending it out all over where Envy was before, using a light hand because this colour is very intense.
The final colour now is:

The colours on my eyelid are now done, next up are the colours on my lower lash line. Starting with Kiddie Pool in the outer corner using the blender brush.

Left Acid Rain, right Midnight Cowgirl.
I used these two colours on the rest of my lower lash line, using Midnight Cowgirl first starting on the inner corner and going in a little bit.


And finally I added Acid Rain on the middle of my lower lash line.

I used the Sephora Mascara on my eyelashes again after curling them first.

Then 20 minutes after I took the pictures the sky was turning blue and the colours of my eye looked different.

Products in this picture:
- Dior. Lip Show Palette - Multi-effect pro lip palette - 002 Pink Couture (Matte and Satin colour)

Lips
I used the matte colour on my lips and the berry on the inside of my lips to give a hint of colour but not over shout that I'm wearing colour.

Scent
Using this tester by Moschino I love as a funky scent
