"Ready For Work" pics thread
Thought I would get the ball rolling on makeup pics thread since I'm not back to work yet and have tons of makeup pics. Hopefully some of you ladies can use this for work tonight and make lotsa $$$. Starting with smokey eyes as many people have mentioned they love this look:
Bronze smokey:

Black/grey smokey:

And here is a link to a tutorial to get this look:
The tutorial is for the bronzey look, but I find you can use the same principle of using a color in between the black and the light color to blend them. Great for learning how to do smokey eyes and super easy too!
I usually always try to take pics of my make, esp if I did something special with it. Will soon post more pics, including all black smokey eyes and lots of color. I look forward to seeing all of your makeup too!
Enjoy and good luck tonight!
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
You're so purdy!
Thanks for the tutorial. It's time for me to buy some eyeshadows- I only use eyeliner and I'm kinda scared. (none of my friends wear any real makeup)
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
I know!! I want to learn how to put on some killer eye makeup too. **clears throat** Umm sereya, where is my tutorial and makeup cheat sheet??;)
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
Try Isadora eye shadow quartet in silvery grey. Four shades from light to dark.;D
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
I tried that girl's tutorial with the closest things I had....I suck at this.
I didn't do anything to my lips, so try to ignore them (I know it's hard because they are chapped and cracked, blech...but I'll take care of that when I get to work.)
What am I doing wrong? Is it not enough?
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
^^I think you need more black on the outer corner and a bit underneath. The black is what makes it smokey after all. If it is too dark, just blend more brown on top of it.
Thx PleasureVictim!
Here are some more pics for everyone:
This is all black smokey eyes and I wear this the most

Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
LR come do my makeup!!!! I love it! I have no skill when it comes to eyes..seriously it looks like i got punched in the face when i try with darker colors. I give up easily though...i think i just need to pratice more..
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
I've cropped these because in a lot of these photos, I was either drunk or on drugs and looking really trashy. Hah. Looking through my photos made me realise just how often I wore pink eyeshadow.
Pink/Purple/Black/Silver

Marina - I would love to! Just keep practicing and you will get better.
Darcy - great pics! What e/s are you wearing in the first pic, specifically the pink and purple?? The pink looks like a shade I have from Make Up For Ever and that purple is hot!!
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
In that first pic, all four colours are Make Up For Ever :)
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
Wow. Well even though it looks awesome in person, it didn't turn out as well on camera no matter what . Here's an eye look I used to do at work that I got compliments on.
Milani "Blue Eyes" Eyeliner
Loreal Intensive Eyeshadow in Pure Silver
MAC Eyeshadow in Humid and Honeylust
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
Wow I feel kind of weird. The only make up I wear to work is some lip gloss.
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
Count yourself fortunate. Not only do I love makeup, but I feel it makes me look "alive".

violet pigment
entremauve pigment
clear radiance (applied wet)
I think I used some moth brown e/s as well
black e/l (engraved) smudged with entremauve
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
maybe the shadows aren't pigmented enough or there's not enough product loaded onto the brush?

Light pinks for me tonight!
Edit: Crap. The flash like washes it out. LOL! Like CorsicaFire says, it looks better in person.
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
Yep, damn flash. And I can't do no flash because it gets blurry.
Like the eyemakeup in the pics I just posted in "Pictures of You" is actually really multidimentional and vibrant....but the damn camera won't show that.
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
You girls are good, I suck.:p I am going to go to Mac and buy lots of stuff and practice every night! All your eyes are beautiful.
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
Quick question, How the hell do you get your black eyeliner to stick? I don't even work as a dancer now, and my eyeliner is down to my nose in 2 hours, just sitting around! How do you get it to stick for longer than that? I'm using covergirl perfect point plus (onyx).
BTW, love the make up ideas.
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
Just wanted to say that a good place to get makeup ideas is livejournal. This is my personal fave:

^^Can't say it enough - MAC Fluidline. The shit will last all night.
Thanks for the compliments ladies, will post more soon...
Re: "Ready For Work" pics thread
I usually go over my liner with a shadow. That helps to set it. In another thread mac's new fluidline was recommended. I bought it but haven't tried it yet.
