Allison's Fat & The Moon Makeup Tutorial!

By Allison S

Your favorite indie makeup brand is on sale until November 30th! Fat and the Moon (cosmetics only)! We’ve put together an autumnal makeup tutorial using some of their products. Disclaimer: I am an enthusiast, not an expert! The good news is that these FATM products are face, lip, and eye safe, per the FATM website.

  1. Start by prepping your skin with your usual skincare, and wait for it to absorb. 

    1. I find that this foundation has more staying-power if I use a face primer with a tacky finish after my regular moisturizer.

    2. I also went in eye primer because I feel it increases the longevity of eye makeup.

  2. Apply foundation.

    1. I used the Evan Healy Oil Serum foundation in shade 10. First I spread the foundation with a brush. Then, I used a damp beauty sponge to blend it into my skin - you can use a setting spray to help blend it as well. This type of foundation may take more time/effort to blend because it is oil-based.

  3. Fill brows.

    1. While I let the foundation absorb into my skin, I filled my brows using gentle sparse strokes of the Jane Iredale Pure Brow Precision Pencil in Medium Brown.

  4. Give brows hold by combing through with a brow gel.

    1. I topped my brows with the Ere Perez Aloe Gel Clear Lash & Brow Mascara, so they hold their shape throughout the day.

  5. For the eyes, apply concealer or eye shadow primer to the lids and set with setting powder.

    1. I used a white Tarte concealer, but you can use any full-coverage concealer.

    2. This will help the eye shadow stay without creasing. This is important because FATM’s makeup products are oil and wax based products, so they are more likely to crease on your eyelids. 

  6. Apply eye shadow.

    1. I started with the Jane Iredale Eyeshadow Palette in Wildflower. I applied the lightest shade all over my lid, focusing the bulk of the pigment on the inner portion of my eyelid.

    2. Then, using a mildly fluffy eye shadow brush, I applied the FATM Lip Paint in Wood Nymph to create my desired shape on the outer portion of my eyelid, blending outwards above my eyelid’s natural crease. 

    3. I followed that with the darkest shade in the Jane Iredale Wildflower Palette. I applied this to the outer portion of the upper lash line and into the crease, following the shape I’d just created using Wood Nymph. I concentrated the pigment along the upper lash line and the crease, but I used a fluffy brush to diffuse shadow over the outer portion of my eye lid.

    4. Then, I used the FATM Highlighter in Lit all over the center of my lid, making sure to blend it into the other shadows.

    5. You can touch up the shadow in the inner corner, if needed

    6. For the lower lash line, I applied the darkest shade in the Wildflower Palette along the outer portion of my lower lashline, using angled brush. Then, I used the same angle brush to apply the highlighter to the rest of my lower lashline, blending it up into the outer third of the lashline.

  7. Apply Mascara.

    1. I curled my lashes using the Tweezerman Classic Lash Curler. The, I used the Dr. Hauska Defining Mascara in Brown on both my upper and lower lashes.

  8. Apply blush

    1. I used the FATM Lip Paint in Dusk as blush by applying it to the apples of my cheeks and blending it up toward my temples using a blush brush.

  9. Apply highlighter

    1. I applied the FATM Highlighter in Lit along the tops of my cheek bones, and blended it upwards towards my temples.

  10. Apply lipliner

    1. I used the Dr. Hauschka Lip Liner in Cumaru (04) to define the shape of my lips. 

  11. Apply lip color.

    1. I used the FATM Lip Paint in Wood Nymph

 And this…is the finished product!
