I wanted to do a blending tutorial for my friends over at Painted-Ladies.com, so this is posted at their blog as well as here.
You’ll want a mid-tone taupe shade, a slightly deeper brown/purple/taupe shade, and a highlight shade that coordinates with the colors.
The colors I used were Silk Naturals Boom, Idolize and Lurid.
Shade Descriptions:
Boom – MAC Shroom clone, warm oyster
Idolize – MAC Idol Eyes clone, silvered violet with gold
Lurid – MAC Moth Brown clone, plum taupe velvet matte
Eyes:
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance – all over eye area
- Detrivore Primer – on lid and in crease
- Silk Naturals Idolize – on lid and in crease, inner lower lash line
- Silk Naturals Lurid – crease and outer lower lash line
- Silk Naturals Boom – inner corners of eye, inner lid and on browbone to highlight
- Aromaleigh Lash Primer
- Covergirl Mascara in Black Ruby
Face:
- Meow Pampered Puss foundation in Inquisitive Siamese

Hello Cotton
I love how you're putting links to product in your posts now, makes it quite useful for finding the colors you use.
Also, that's a nice neutral look on you. Simple, while still looking like it fits your personality, with all that lovely shimmer. I've actually been on a bit of a neutral eye kick lately (Lord only knows why, since I normally hate wearing them).
Your nails look great!
OK now I need a tutorial on a cut crease, because I suck and you are awesome!
Hi Lindsey,
I'll try to start doing that more often! I didn't know if it would be of interest to anyone, and Taryn from Painted-Ladies suggested it. Thank you
Hi Evil angel,
Thank you!
I will do my best :>
That is such a pretty neutral look…very soft looking..
Hi Krista,
It's certainly different from my daily stuff.
Thank you
Really nice video! And helpful, too, since I need to work on my blending skills.;) I love the lippie!
Hi Laura,
Aww thank you! I'm so glad you like
Great look
Very good blending,and Phaedra is so adorable in the video! I don't like MAC pressed shadows,simply because it's so hard to get any color payoff with them. It's nice to know that there are clones out there,that will give a decent color payoff.
Hi Shaimaa,
Thank you!
Hi Starlight,
Aww, thanks
I've found a lot of MAC shadows are good, but minerals seem to be better.
Just wanted to chime in and say thank you for this awesome tute! I watched it yesterday, and I swear my blending last night was soooo much better than it's been, and I pranced around afterward all full of myself and my newfound blending skills.
