Smokey eyes have been in high demand for quite some time now.  While I’ve done some smokey eyes makeup tutorials in the past, why not try another one?

Today, I’m doing a smokey eye, as stated.  I’m also doing a look that uses as few beauty products as possible.  Most of my looks use, like six products.  Today, I’ll only be using four.

Another difference with today’s look is the lips.  Normally, I do some lip gloss or neutral lipstick and that’s it.  Not today!  I’ve got some red lips to show you!

Anyway, the main color scheme is gold, so today’s tutorial is entitled: Gold Smoke.  Makes sense, right?

Pink is my favorite color.  Can you tell?

So, of course, I need to do a look with some great pink colors.  Heck, the vast majority of my clothes are pink.  I might as well match.

Today, I’m going to show you a super cute pink look that sort of reminds me of geranium flowers.  That’s why I’ve called it Geranium. Creative, no?

You may notice that the pictures in this tutorial are better than previous ones.  Yeah, I’m getting the hang of this.

So read on for the Geranium makeup tutorial.

I chose to do a fire related tutorial today.  Mostly because I was wearing a red halter dress at the time.  I wanted to match!

This look is called Fire Season.  I live in a state that has a yearly fire season (no, not California.  Montana).  In fact, just about a week ago, or most important mountain was on fire.  While it looked neat at night, it’s serious business.

Anyway, the classic fire colors are red, orange, yellow and white.  Of course, the fire is hottest when it’s white.  Right?

Using these three colors, I created the Fire Season makeup tutorial, which is so scorching hot!

Read on, ladies.

Less than a week ago, I got my first ever MAC makeup stash.  At the time, I promised that my next makeup tutorial would use the MAC Cosmetics I got.

Well, I always live up to a promise.

Today I’ll be using MAC eye shadow and lip gloss (along with some other brands) to get a great summer look.  I call this Tropical Storm because it uses tropical colors (blue, green, yellow.)  It’s also stormy and smoky.

This is a pretty heavy look, using a lot of color.  Because of this, you may want to limit it to special occasions.  For instance, it would look nice at some club after a long day at the beach.

Although, if you’re like me, you may want to wear it any ol’ time.  I really do like wearing a lot of makeup.

Get ready for the Tropical Storm makeup tutorial!

Soft Rust? Is that even possible?  Well, yes, when it’s on your eyes.

Today, I’ll be teaching you how to get a beautiful rusty colored makeup look on your eyes, as well as a soft rust color on your lips.  This look is going to be a bit more subtle than what you are expecting, I’m sure.

Where you wear this look depends on how comfortable you are with makeup on.  I could wear this anywhere, including work and on a date.  Those who aren’t used to a lot of makeup may want to limit this look only for special occasions.

So, get ready for the Soft Rust makeup tutorial.

Some of the looks I teach you guys are so out there, like the Rainbow Eyes tutorial, that you can’t wear them in most situations. To remedy that, I’m teaching you a look today that can be worn pretty much anywhere:

• To work.
• To school.
• On a date.
• To a family gathering.
• For a hike in the woods.
• During the day.
• At night.
• Even to a night club.

I call this look Simple and Clean because it has a freshness about it. You’ll look amazing while not having that much makeup on. At least it will seem that way anyway.

I actually got some of the idea for this look from the steps in the Vintage Pinup Girl Video, although I changed some things around.

Get ready, because we’re about to learn the Simple and Clean makeup tutorial.

Mmm, I just love lemon lime. Whether it’s a food or drink, it nearly always tastes good. What a great flavor combination! Since it can be so good for flavors, why not for makeup, too? Sure, we won’t be tasting this look, but it can still look as fresh and bright as lemon lime.

I was actually inspired to do this look today because I’m wearing a green shirt. You’ll see that in the end, the green on my eyes doesn’t really match the green on my shirt.

Oops! Oh well, you can’t always help what the end result is once you use your inspiration. Right?

Get ready, because we are so about to learn the Lemon Lime Look.

Follow these steps and you should come out with a similar makeup look.

I don’t always like to play it safe. In fact, I like to go crazy sometimes. Many people would avoid the look I’m going to teach you today, but whatever. I think it’s cute!

I think about the fact that I have nearly every color in the rainbow when it comes to eye shadow, so why not have a look that is…well…a rainbow?

So, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Be prepared for Rainbow Eyes! This is the most colorful makeup look I’ve ever done. And you’ll get to see how I did it here.

Buckle up, because this is going to be fun.

Up until now, I’ve been doing some bold looks for the Tutorial Tuesdays. Most people aren’t going to wear this kind of makeup on a regular basis (unless you’re me.) Instead, you may want something a bit more subtle. Something you can wear to work.

Hence, Umber Eyes.

This is an eye makeup tutorial using a brown shadow pallet. Brown makeup can go with a lot of things and blends in well with most people’s coloring.

While it may not be suitable for a night of hardcore partying, it’s still good for most other everyday uses.

So commences Umber Eyes!
