FOTD 5-19-10 (Panacea81 Nautical Inspired)

Lauren Luke is absolutely brilliant! She was the first guru I ever watched on YouTube,

and the one that I learned all my tips and tricks from. :) If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know the difference between a lid color and a crease color, or a flat shader brush and a blending brush! She really taught me all the basics, and she's always

been one of my favorite YouTubers. Yesterday I was watching a few of her videos, and I found a tutorial she had posted

called "Nought to Nautical sexy make up look for summer"and it's become one of my all time favorite looks. It's really really easy to do, but looks amazing and like it took you much more time than just five or so minutes. I really think that this look would be universally flattering on all women, no matter your skin color or eye color. Lauren Luke totally

created magic with this

look, and I definitely had to try it out! I filmed a tutorial this morning re-creating it, BUT I rambled too much and couldn't cut out enough, so it's sitting in iMovie right now edited down to 12 minutes. :( Gosh I hate that those of us without partnerships only get 10 minutes! Anyways, I'm sure I'll re-film it sometime soon because I plan on doing this amazing look A LOT! =)
