BH Cosmetics Take Me to Brazil palette Makeup Tutorial

thefaultinourstars1 created this lovely makeup tutorial that we wanted to share! The three palettes used are the BH Cosmetics Take Me to Brazil palette, the Sleek Ultra Mattes V2 Darks palette, and the Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral shimmer palette, from first used to last<

The look I did two days ago

Swatches of the Sleek palette

The shadows are out of order, but I included swatches to show you why you need this palette–these swatches are over bare skin. Sooo smooth and pigmented. The only shadows that required dipping into the pan more than once for this opacity were the Pillow Talk (the white) and the nude shades Nude and Flesh (which are pigmented, but I’m pale)

Starting off with Nyx Milk!

To make it nice and bright. Mmmm.

Lay down the base

On primed eyelids, rub some Milk onto your finger and blend from your crease up to your browbone. I didn’t use primer because I am a savage and it was 1:30 AM. It was coming off when I finished anyway. Also, my eyebrows are nonexistent and my face makeup is shoddy/too pink (Covergirl 3 in 1 foundation in Ivory). Again, 1:30 AM.

Pre-blended

I just stuck it in my crease first, then blended all over but the lid.

Blended

Mmm yeah pale.

More base!

This is Maybelline Color Tattoo in Edgy Emerald. Creamy. Pretty. Unf.

Put down tape, then rub all over the lid.

I forgot tape until later, but you wanna put this down now because you don’t want color past what will be the straight edge from your tape. Also, be gentle with your lids–don’t tug or pull on them when you’re using the shadow.

How it looks so far

Take the Take Me to Brazil Palette

Take a shader brush and pick up this green shade. This is literally the only time we use it maybe I should have emphasized the Sleek palette more in the title

Pack onto lids

Pat the shadow on to avoid fallout and make the color bolder. Really pack it on there. You want the color to be nice and bold.

How it looks so far

Take the Sleek Ultra Matte V2 Darks Palette.

Using the same brush (cleaned), we’re going to pick up Turbo (teal).

Pack onto outer thirds of the lids.

No need to be neat on the outer edge, that tape will keep the shape nice and clean. Try not to go too far in, if you go in about half way it won’t open up your eyes as much.

Imgur why you upload this twice.

Smdh.

How it looks so far

Take Pillow Talk (white).

Again, I’m a savage. Couldn’t find my usual brush for brow bone stuff so I just made do and smeared it with my finger. Could’ve used my shader brush but I’m lazy.

Place from crease to brow bone.

Try not to get it in your crease, we don’t want to get blue/green in the white just yet.

How it looks so far

Take your fluffy blending brush

My brushes are all Sonia Kashuk, by the way. I got them about a year ago and they’re not top notch, but they get the job done and haven’t completely fallen apart yet so they’ll do.

Blend the outer third into the lid.

Be careful not to overblend, as the colors are fairly similar.

How it looks so far

Pick up more Turbo on your blending brush.

Turbo is my shit.

Blend into crease/outer V.

Blend it out real good.

How it looks so far 2.0

Pick up Ink (navy) with a pencil brush.

Might be my favorite matte shadow ever. Pretty pretty pretty.

Put Ink in your outer V

How it looks so far

Blend Ink out.

Blended out

Now for eyeliner.

I’m using an e.l.f. Angled Eyeliner brush and Wet ‘n’ Wild Mega Eyes gel eyeliner.

Do yo liner.

I did wings cuz tape. Which made it way easier. Should do this every time.

How it looks so far

Take off the tape.

You can add lashes & mascara now if you like, or you can add extra drama and step that shit up.

Option 1: Navy waterline/lashline

Take Milk and clean angled brush.

Apply to waterline.

Careful not to get it in your lashes!

Pick up Ink with your pencil brush.

Apply to waterline and lash line.

Ink vs. Gel.

For some reason I left out the pictures for lining the lower waterline. My bad, guys. This is how they look compared to each other.

Pick up gold shadow.

This is the Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral Shimmer palette. So soft, buttery, and pigmented. The reason I’m not allowing myself to buy any high-end neutral palettes.

Apply to inner corner.

There we go! All done.

I swear my lipstick is purple in person.

It’s Albeit Dahlia.

Tired cuz it’s 3 AM.

 

Q&A

Q: Very pretty, those colors work well together. But I think you forgot to apply the dark blue under one of your eyes?

 

A: I did two different options, one with dark blue and one with black gel eyeliner in the waterline 🙂 thanks though!
