So I am working on a portfolio now…hair and makeup.
Do you guys know of good eye makeup tutorials I can learn from?
I am okay right now but I want to be great and I don’t just want to do your average cover-the-entire-lid-with-color type shadow.
Ideas on who is good on youtube?
Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
When I first started learning about MU…about 3 years ago…I watched Lauren a lot.
Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
^ I was gonna say her too!
Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
The title reminded me of a video that i find very helpful, especially if you’re doing make up on others, because he rapidly explains what type of eye make up looks good with a given eye shape

Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
I never get the hype w/ Panacea/Lauren. Her skills are quite…novice. She’s good if you want looks using mainly one technique. If you want variety from a professional and learn techniques, I HIGHLY recommend these:
http://www.youtube.com/user/MakeupByTiffanyD?blend=1&ob=4 (she has some amazing teaching skills. Her looks are very “everyday” but still apply some good techniques, such as doing smokey eyes and other things which a makeup artist would only know)
http://www.youtube.com/user/lisaeldridgedotcom (she is brilliant because her work is very editorial/european. Not at all like the Kim Kardashian/Mila Kunis style of tutorials but really about concepts)
http://www.youtube.com/user/MakeupArtistLauren (she’s a makeup artist who uses mainly MAC so the looks are easy to replicate but she has very good techniques and teaches some awesome looks, mostly glam or OTT ones but great smokey/neutrals as well)

Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
Yeah i never got the hype of panacea either?^
Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
^Right? I find her quite boring and...meh. Nothing new when I watch her videos but I heard she was the first Youtube Guru and who basically started it all.
Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
I imagine it would be hard to take college classes if a person hasn't spent the time learning the basics in high school. I see MU the same way. I agree that panacea is a "novice". She's a average woman who doesn't have "professional" training. Personally, that's what I like about her.
When I first started learning about applying make-up, I remember seeing the "professionals" and thinking to myself "ummm....yea....that's not happening with my pathetic skills". Panacea is a average, every-day woman who I could relate to. For people who are just starting to learn about MU, this is why I think she's a good "starter" tutor.
For someone who already knows all the basics and wants to learn advanced MU skills and is looking to do this at a "professional" level....of course then Panacea is not for them. But if a average woman wants to learn some simple techniques that will make her look good, then panacea is a great pick.
Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
^That's not what I meant but I do get what you're saying. Think of MissChievous, she is not a pro either but her skills and looks in general are different, she has a certain style which I appreciate more over the slightly whimsical/kiddy looks I see Lauren do. And I could have sworn she was...Irish. Just checked her profile and she's from the UK!
...forgive my ignorance but do accents really range that much in the UK? I know there's a London accent, a Chav/Cockney accent :p and some other ones but I have never heard of a near-Irish one.
Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
^Yeah, accents can vary a** lot** even within England itself.. A few really distinctive ones are Cockney/Chav, Essex (similar), Geordie, Yorkshire, Liverpool.. They're all a million miles from the stereotypical 'clipped' London accent that a lot of ppl abroad believe we speak :DIrish, Scottish and Welsh accented English sound v.different as well..
Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
Thank you guys so so so much!
If you guys have more ideas on who to watch, please keep posting them!
I think non-professionals and professionals alike have something to teach. Our job is to learn and apply those techniques where we see fit.
I have my homework cut out for tonight, thats for sure!!!

Ou, I see. So what kind of accent does the Queen/Royal family have? What about the YT gurus Pixiwoo and Lisa Eldridge? Just curious.
Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
Pixiwoo and Misschievous, probably the most talented MUA's on YouTube that have real skill. Anything I know, i've learned it from them.
Re: Eye shadow and makeup tutorials
^I agree, all 3 ladies are AMAZING.
