Being Patriotic through make-up

I had pictures on my myspace from the Fourth of July, and one of them included my eye makeup. I had a ton of people ask me how I did it. I figured I would make a step by step on how I did it. It really wasn't very hard. Unfortunantely, by the time I took the picture, the make up had faded quite a bit. But regardless, I will include the picture I took of it. Its a really small picture, and you can't see the details, but you get the idea.

I started out by putting a M.A.C. paints on my entire eyelid and brow area. It was the Bare Canvas shade. Then I took M.A.C. electric eel eyeshadow And made a square in the upper brow area. I was constantly getting my brush wet, and would put it inbetween 2 pieces of tissue and would lay it on the counter and press down so the water would come out and so that I had a perfectly straight, thin brush to work with, and could draw very detailed lines. I filled in the blue, rinsed my brush off, then put M.A.C.'s Passionate eyeshadow. I drew the lines for all the stripes in red, then filled in the red ones, and also lined my eyelid (where you would normally put eyeliner) with red as well. Then I moved on to M.A.C.'s White frost eyeshadow. I filled in all of the white striped with that. Then I touched everything up with their respective colors. Please note that I was not staying inside the area of my eyelid and brow, the blue box was a perfect square, and went through my eyebrow and on to the side of my face kind of. Then I put on my mascara, which I used M.A.C.'s Splashproof Lash. I put a ton of it on. I normally use their fake eyelashes, but was out of glue at the time. I did not line my eyelid (except with the red). I only lined my bottom lashes with M.A.C.'s Ebony Eye Pencil. Thats about all I did with the eye. It takes a lot of time and patience. Next time I post one like this, I will take pictures as I go, but I didn't plan on posting a tutorial on it at the time. I also didn't plan on taking pictures of it, otherwise I would have taken pictures right when I was done. That picture was taken about 12 hours after I did my make up.
