Before you apply anything on your face, remove any impurities with a cotton pad dipped in micellar water.

Step 2. Base

For a no-makeup look, use a BB or CC cream, apply it on your face, and blend down to your neck.

Step 3

Apply a few swipes of your favorite concealer underneath your eyes and gently pat it on with your ring finger. Take any excess and apply it around the nose and eyelids to reduce redness.

The concealer used in this tutorial is em The Great Coverup Concealer.

Step 4

Dust Vidi Vici Translucent Powder under the eyes; also pat it on the lids and other oily areas of your face to reduce shine.

If you prefer glowing over matte skin, use Tatcha Japanese Beauty Papers instead.

Step 5

Fill in your eyebrows with a grayish-brown brow powder, like Anastasia Brow Wiz Powder.

Use em Arched Brow Pencil to draw and redefine the shape of your brows; sketch little dashes to mimic the brows’ hairs and use a spoolie brush to soften the marks.

Step 6

With an eyeshadow brush that has both an applicator and blender, take the applicator, load Nyx Eyeshadow Matte Camel Color on it, and apply along the outer third of your eyes to create the illusion of depth and shadow.

Load a bit of the camel color on your blender brush and buff the color along the outer third of your eye to create a hazier look; follow the natural contours of your eyes.

Step 7

Take a moss eyeshadow with a pearlescent finish — Nyx Eyeshadow Pearl Moss Green — and dab this color along the outer lash line. This will widen the shape of your eyes.

Step 8

Top off your eye makeup with Nyx Eyeshadow Metallic Denim. You can use a clean ring finger for this part; pat it on the center of the lids and use your brush to feature out the color for a smoldering finish.

Step 9

Take a dark brown eyeliner, like Pacifica Eyeliner in Fringe, and apply it under the lower lash line and outer upper lash line. This will accentuate the shape of your eyes.

Step 10

Curl your lashes. If you have naturally curly lashes, you can skip this step; if not, it’s time to pop those eyes open.

Step 11

Apply generous coats of mascara. The mascara Michelle uses is Pop Beauty Peak Performance Mascara.

Step 12

Because you’ll be using lip liner, you’re going to prep your lips beforehand. Prep with a rich, tinted lip balm like em Pillow Blush Berries.

Step 13

For cheeks, you can either contour for a sunken-in look or use a mauve blush for a light touch of color on the cheeks. If using a blush, stay away from peach and pink since they don’t complement the color palette of this look.

Lightly dab Maybelline Master Glaze Blush Make a Mauve on the cheeks and blend with your fingers.

Another way to apply cream blush is to load the color directly onto your fingertips, then quickly pat it on your cheeks.

Step 14

With a dark red or plum lip color, outline and fill in your lips. The lip liner used in this tutorial is Lord and Berry Ultimate Lip Liner.

Step 15

With a dark plum or oxblood lip color, like OCC Lip Tar in Black Dahlia, paint it on your lips with a lip brush. Dark lipsticks are best applied with a lip brush since it allows for even application.

Now you’re ready to rock!

The post Make Your Face Thinner With Makeup appeared first on 12thBLOG.

Jared Leto – a man whose face you will never forget. That’s because you won’t be able to identify him any other way! Lead singer of the rock band “30 Seconds to Mars” and the winner of an “Oscar” for his role of the trans-diva battling AIDS in the film “Dallas Buyers Club” changes his styles so often that one can think the band steadily changes their soloist.

Of course, all the artists from time-to-time change their appearance due to their getting new roles or acquiring a stage image; but Jared is unique in all this – something else to behold. Leto is nothing else if not diverse in all his manifestations. For 43 years Jared Leto tried all sorts of hairstyles that affect a variety of lengths and colors. And for the sake of participation in film productions with such directors as Darren Aronofsky, David Fincher and Oliver Stone, Leto with incredible self-denial gained 60 pounds for the role of Mark David Chapman in “Chapter 27”, then dropped 30 to 40 pounds to play the transsexual with AIDS in “Dallas Buyers Club,” teasing the movie goer’s imagination with an unbelievable 100 pound swing in his weight between the two films.

Looking back some 20 years, we decided to show Leto the actor and his musical styles from the romantic lady killer (1994) to the Karl Lagerfeld (or Draco Malfoy) look for 2015.

What image do you like the most?

In 1994 Jared was in search for work and moved to Los Angeles. He made do with casual part-time jobs as a model. Later he was noticed by the Hollywood agent and became an actor. His first role was in the teen series “My So-Called Life.” Leto played a young man Jordan Catalano who won ladies hearts with his beautiful blue eyes.

In the cult film by David Fincher, Jared Leto played a member of Fight Club, nicknamed Angel Face. (1999)

The famous image of a drug addict Harry Goldfarb in “Requiem for a Dream” directed by Darren Aronofsky became, simultaneously, a springboard for novice actor Leto in a big movie and a nightmare for fans of the handsome Jared they had come to adore with those baby-blues that just oozed sex appeal. For the first time in his career Leto had to lose a few pounds – a focused actor, he refused to eat and have sex to prepare for the role. (2000)

Brutal cornrows? sure, why not. The actor continued his bold experiments with hair for the role in “Panic Room” (2002)

Right after the movie Jared dyed his hair blonde. Was it a tribute to Kurt Cobaine?  (2003).

A year has passed and already our famous actor transformed again from the true rocker to the sweet hottie starring in “Alexander” directed by Oliver Stone. After such graceful images, the rumors began circulating in the mainstream media claiming Leto was a homosexual. (2004)

Getting tired from movie experiments the musician chose the sad rocker image as he began spending more time on concerts and writing new songs. (2005)

Releasing super-successful hits like “From Yesterday” and “The Kill” on his second album was terrific for fans. “A Beautiful Lie” however, seemed to trap him and his band in a wave of teen-emo geeks! The David Cassidy of the 2000′s Yikes!!! (2006)

Deciding to pay more attention to his acting career, Jared gained more than 60 pounds for the role of John Lennon’s killer in the movie “Chapter 27″. Leto was simply not recognizable! (2006)

Pale skin, messy hair, tired look…. In 2009 the famous rock star was working on the album “This is War” which became one of the most successful collection of songs during the entire decade. This one is definitely my favorite.

PUNKS NOT DEAD. They say Terry Richardson (famous outrageous photographer and old Leto buddy) was the one who suggested such a punk style and shaved Jared’s head! The hairstyle was called MARShawk by the singer himself (2010)

It became obvious that the rock star is obsessed with changing his image when he dyed his hair blue the same year.

Jared Leto once confessed that he chooses his outfit right before going out on stage, so pretty often it becomes a disaster. I wonder how long it takes him to choose a new hair style?… (2011)

In 2012, tired of being a “nice guy” or the proverbial sweet-faced “punky teenager” Jared finally goes brutal with a long beard.

Getting into character for another big role Jared dropped almost 40 pounds to make his image close to the character. Slicked back and no eyebrows – that’s the Leto style at the end of 2012.

“Fashion may go out of style but style never goes out of fashion.” Jared’s Jesus look is definitely the most memorable one. (2014)

Well, one could think Leto stopped torturing his hair and changing his style as he’s had the same image for almost 2 years, but he surprised his fans again. Blonde is obviously becoming popular this year with Kim and Jared changing their hair color to correspond to the Karl Lagerfeld look. I always like the “Lager-blond look – not sure I think it fits Leto’s persona however.

I’m sure, it’s not the end of his bold experiments. What do you think his next look will be?

Goth culture may appear macabre, but it’s a celebration of everything that’s NOT mainstream. With this concept its fashion makes complete sense. Tayln provocatively makes that eyepatch look as natural as wearing a pair of specs!

Cherry Amber shares her name with what is a prized fossilized tree resin. Known as a popular fashionista on LOOKBOOK, she has amazing hairstyling tips and shares how to DYI it all on YouTube. “Lolita Goth” is just one of her many looks!

We’ve been noticing goth fashion utilizes crafty knick-knacks from the sewing store to create “strappy hairdos”. Sometimes long zippers get thrown in too alongside leather belts! One thing is for certain, goth girls are clever!

The German native from Berlin has a super cool blog and spread on LOOKBOOK. She travels around Europe and photographs street fashion in major cities. Additionally, doesn’t she make an intriguing goth fashion subject herself? Yes!

Being goth is actually a lifestyle, it doesn’t just mean you simply start wearing dark clothing. The culture revels a particular taste in music, aesthetics, and philosophy. This fair-haired gal is a poster child for the movement: mysterious, alluring, exotic and somber.

Almost.. Notice a resemblance to Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride? It must be those extra large gorgeous brown eyes. Everything is amazing here, the hair, piercings and makeup. Perfect!

The blue eyed beauty is a Russian native. A quick look into her Model Mayhem profile will reveal an impressive profile specializing in goth fashions. She also does the Victorian era, but of the gothic horror genre.

No one knows Apnea’s real name, but she’s an American “pin up” model solely photographed by her husband, Lithium Picnic. The term apnea means to “hold one’s breath”. Could that be what she’s doing here, or is it a baby pacifier?

Could this lovely vixen be hanging at an underground club? Did you know there’s a guidebook to Goth culture? It’s titled: GOTHUS, ‘The Ultimate Goth Guide’. It covers goth history and answers questions on everything goth!

Cupcake is doing her lovely pastel goth outfit proud and we’re also spying on the awesome tattoos and hairstyle! She’s a perky goth who doesn’t brood. She likes to have fun!

It’s brilliant how Goths turn traditional beauty on its head and yet end up so alluring! Makeup and fashion are effective ways to express your personality and taste. Goths are not stereotypically glam, but that’s what makes them rock!

Gorgeous Alfiya is a Russian native and digital artist. She does incredible work revolving around the world of darkness and the sublime! We especially love her boots. Perfect for the dance move, “Gothic Slide”.

The basic ideology of the goth subculture is its emphasis on individualism and creativity. There are so many influences here: military, industrialism, fetish, Frankenstein horror and femininity. Do you recognize her? She’s Mira Nox.

Wow, Cat Woman would be so jealous! This bondage babe is looking amazing in her shiny latex jumpsuit. That said, we wouldn’t want to mess with her!

The effect of her hair is marvelous with gothic Victorian and industrial touches! Although the attitude and philosophy of what is goth remains constant, it still is indefinable and filled with delightful surprises! Lovely.

Steampunk can fit in both genres of punk and goth. Either way this mistress is divine with her Victorian gown! Wearing the color purple with a corset, she could be straight out of James Joyce’s 1914 story, ‘Araby’!

Goths are so lucky because everyday is Halloween! How much fun is that?! Upon closer inspection of the “strappy hairdo”, we see it’s actually more like a Medusa head-dress. Very cool!

Fashion designers have emulated goths since their beginnings alongside the early ’80s British post-Punk era. Bibian Blue is a designer out of Barcelona specializing in beautiful corsets and glamour couture. Check out their amazing online shop!

Although this beauty is dark haired, she looks to be of Irving’s, ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’! She’s elegant, wealthy and refined, but perhaps like Lady Van Tassel, she is not without darkness. The “bat” accessories gives her away.
