Tutorial: Fall Leaves

This is a tutorial for my Fall Leaves look using all Beauty from the Earth pigments. I kinda rushed through the process because I wasn't feeling well so it's a little sloppy, lol. Anyway, this is roughly how I did it so if you'd like to see how then keep reading! :)

I started with a clean eye and applied UDPP on lid and directly around eye area.

After applying NYX Milk JEP and patting that out with my finger, I applied Cornflower to my inner lid area. For better success though, don't carry it in quite this far, I think it threw off the look a bit. You just want a subtle hint of blue.

Next I applied Sweet Nibblets to my middle lid. (Again, don't carry the color too far. It should be directly over your iris; see first photo for reference.)

Next I applied Hangover to my outer lid.

I patted on some Wacky between the yellow and orange, and some Yellow Brick Road between the yellow and blue to help soften the lines a little. I also added a little Wacky to the outside of Hangover to aid in adding the next color. You don't have to do this part, though.
Next I added some Addicted to the outer corner, winging out slightly. Don't go too far though, you still need room for Isis! I also gently patted on a little of the red over Wacky to blend the two.

Next I added Isis to my outer corner, lightly blending over Addicted, and carrying the crease over Cornflower. (I made the crease a little too thick here, though. ;P)

Then after applying DGC Glitter Glue to my inner corner and lower lashline, I applied Ornamental to my tear duct area. I then applied Autumn in the middle, and Dragon Slayer on the outer corner, blending the colors into each other a bit.

Next I took my Isis brush and blended a little color from my outer corner onto part of Dragon Slayer. I also brushed some Ornamental along my browbone, lightly blending with Isis.

Then I used the same Ornamental brush to lightly connect the Ornamental on my inner corner with the Isis at the inner crease(over the blue).

Lastly I used Very Vanilla to blend around all the edges to soften them a bit, and a very soft brush to blend the general colors to keep it soft. The crease/browbone should look especially soft, blending out for a sort of smokey effect.
Add your own liners as you like; I didn't use any for the tutorial because it wasn't necessary and because I didn't want to have to remove it all, lol. For the original look (pictured) I used liquid on my upper lashline and brushed Celtic Charms, a deep almost purplish shimmery brown shadow, over top.

Curl lashes, add mascara or falsies or whatever you like to do. :)

1st BFTE order RESWATCHED!

 This is a very pic heavy post of all the colors from my very first order from Beauty from the Earth over a year ago! The first swatches I took were pretty lame so I redid them ;P
In all I think there were around 27 colors! Shadows were swatched dry on bare skin prepped with a little Pond's cream. Pics were taken in direct sunlight, natural (indirect) light, and with flash. I will put names under each pic in this manner: Left to Right for horizontal pics and Top to Bottom for vertical ones. Let's get started!
Whisper, moonlight, Grace, Harvest, Peacock, Lavish.

Harvest, Grace, Moonlight, Whisper. (Difficult to get a good pic of Whisper; I promise you it's 100x prettier in person! One of my absolute faves.)

Lavish, Peacock, Harvest.

I tried to get a good shot of Harvest in the sunlight but it the color looks too rusty. It's really like a bright orangey copper shade, metallic with tons of shimmer and some sparkle. So pretty<3

Those are my first BFTE colors and many are still among my all-time favorites! I hope these pics helped you, or at least gave you something pretty to look at. You can also find these and all my other swatch pics on my Facebook page. :)
Thanks for reading!<3
