Would you mind doing a tutorial for the (witch sona?) space-y makeup? I'm sorry if this has been asked, you can just delete it
It’s alright! A lot of people been asking for it, so I’ve been trying to get it together for the past week.
So there is a possibility that I might post it either tonight or tomorrow. So watch the Space Makeup tag, or my blog if you are following/bookmarked it!
your purple space eyeshadow looks lovely!! How do you do it??
thank you!! (I’m guessing you meant from the picture of tina yeah?) I rlly love doing makeup it’s so fun and I had a gr8 time putting makeup on all my friends at that party it was so good!!
the space makeup looks really complex but it isn’t actually that hard, which is nice! I’m going to give you a step by step but I’ll put it under a cut so it doesn’t clog up people’s dashes
so you obvs want to start by priming your eyelid with an eyelid primer, and then take a white eyeliner (ex. NYX jumbo eyeshadow in milk) and use that in the inner corner and then across the lid, just staying in the lid space on the inside but as far out as you want on the outside. blend it out with your fingers; it helps the colors stick even better and pop extra on the white-ish base.
then you want to take a nice bright pink (I have one of the coastal scents palettes with a ton of colors so I usually use that for space makeup) and throw that in the crease. this is your blend out color (for now), so blend it out as big as you want your eyeshadow to be. I highly recommend working it so your eyeshadow has a kind of wing shape to it. Once you’ve got pink in that whole area, throw some pinky-toned purple in the crease where you started the pink. blend that out and keep adding color until you’re happy with it; you should have mostly clear lid space, blended out pink, and purple in the crease blending into the pink (and if you’re feeling it the pink pulled out in a wing-ish shape with the purple also in the wing-ish shape but inside the pink).
Now take a bright purple-toned blue (the one I usually use is shiny, too) and apply it nice and heavy all on your lid space. try to make sure you follow the shape of your lid in the inner corner and all along so it goes to the crease but not farther. blend so the purple fades into the blue, and if you’re doing the wing-y thing bring the blue out into the purple to continue that shape.
if ur happy with the color/darkness levels u can move onto the next thing but sometimes I take some black and darken up the outer v a bit more.
use the white eyeliner again to add a highlight on the browbone (above the eyeshadow just below your eyebrow) and in the inner corner. blend slightly with your fingers then add white eyeshadow over the top.
take the pink from earlier and bring it along underneath your eye all the way across. then bring the purple across closer to your lashline. use your finger to make sure they blend into each other seamlessly.
Take a dark navy-ish blue on an angled brush (I find wetting the brush and doing this with wet eyeshadow to be really effective) and line your top lashline, bringing it out in a wing at the edge. then use the same blue + brush along the bottom lashline rlly close inside the purple and the pink. How thick this line is kind of depends on your eyes and your bottom lashes but just do what works for you.
tightline your top and bottom waterline with black liner, making the black thicker at the outer edge on the bottom so it blends into that dark blue. you can either leave the top with just the dark blue liner or line it with black with liquid/gel/wet black eyeshadow, up to you (if you use gel or liquid I recommend taking a black matte eyeshadow along on top of that anyways it sets it and helps soften the edges in case you weren’t perfect at applying it). if you do line it bring that out in a wing as well (or not I mean u do u).
then the rlly fun part: take a glitter (the one I have is just a white/iridescent loose eye glitter) and just pat it gently all over the eye. u can use an adhesive but i don’t usually bc the one I have is so sticky anyways. The downside to this is you will cover up a lot of the work you just did. The upside is that now ur eyes are shiny starry galaxies. My philosophy is to apply the glitter all over so I basically just use it anywhere I would put a highlight (bridge of the nose, cheekbones, cupid’s bow, t-zone and some forehead, etc) as well as on the eyes. Make sure ur eyeliner is still pretty defined and if it isn’t go over it with a black shadow or something.
extra bonus fun options for variation (what I said above was basically a base pattern to start from):
use some orange to blend out from the pink /purple
add gold somewhere?
extra shiny eyeshadows. I have a palette of just shiny things that aren’t very sticky/pigmenty but they are great for adding soft extra shimmer. pale pink shimmer blend out hell yeah.
use teal/turquoise as your starting color instead of pink, use a bright green-toned blue for the lid, and a dark blue in the crease.
slash basically follow this pattern of color tones with any starting color you want
and those are just some suggestions there are so many fun things you can do with space makeup and honestly one of the best things about it is it’s so wild even if you mess up or you’re not symmetrical it’s okay bc it’s space makeup. All sins are forgiven when you’re covered in glitter and space has so many possible ways to look that there’s no wrong way to do it!!
let me know if this was helpful. I mean I could maybe make a video. idk. I just did this quickly otherwise I would have added like pictures and similar. being a youtube makeup guru is kind of my dream life lol
