Of course! I used the colors Leaf and Avocado by Zosimos Botanicals (an all natural makeup company without any parabens)

I'd love to know which lashes those are !

I actually bought them on Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/Cosmetics-Paji-Eyelash-pack-Pack/dp/B002AR2XL0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324539540&sr=8-1 They come in this set which I think is an amazing deal!

Yeah but it wont be for a while because I still have to edit it and I have school so I'll be busy.

I was just interested in seeing who would want to learn how.

Is this airbrushed?

No, its I used an art brush and mixed mineral eyeshadow with water to get a more liquid texture.

The reason I wouldn't want to see a tutorial on this is that 1) I have nowhere I could really wear a look like this, 2) when it comes to expensive, high-end, good quality products I am extreeeeeeemely conservative and could never justify doing this because I'd feel like I was wasting my makeup for no reason, and 3) if I were ever to go out on a limb and try a look like this, personally I think the flowers look fairly simple. Looking at the picture, I'd probably be good just studying this, mapping out a general outline, and free-handing it. I really like the colors though, it kinda reminds me of watermelons.

Down votes happen, but you asked for our opinions and here is mine: I don't want to see a tutorial on this look. I don't want to see it because I think that it's not wearable for me, but I appreciate the effort and of course want you to continue to practice making up your face however you want to.

Well, why would I waste 10+ hours creating a video tutorial if no one will like it or be interested in it. I was just asking if anyone would be interested in learning how to do it. I was not stating that I had the tutorial at hand. I don't see what the huge deal is.

To be quite honest I could care less about link karma, I do tutorials because I love them, I love makeup, however I tape a whole bunch at once and wanted to see which ones strike interest to those around me. I want others to enjoy my tutorials as much as I do.

Imagine if /r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu is full of these kind of posts (they spend hours creating their comics too.)
"Would you want to see a rage comic about dating?"
"Any interest in a rage comic about religious people?"
"Should I submit a comic about my job?"
And no, it's never about karma (but I will downvote people I disagree with.)

Wow, MUA is getting a little ridiculous. Upvote the millionth before and after post, but something that's actually original gets downvoted to oblivion... even her comments which really do not deserve to be.
Even if she had just posted the video rather than this post asking if she should, I'm sure you guys would still have downvoted it because she's not one of those certain karma whores who you're all happy to feed with karma points.
You are so sweet :) thank you!
I think there's two reasons why this is getting downvoted: 1) it's not at all wearable and 2) why make one post asking if someone wants to see it, then make another if everyone fawns over it.
And no, not everything posted (and upvoted) is wearble. But something like the girl who came in and was showing special effects makeup or super crazy editorial looks is interesting because it shows how well you can manipulate makeup if you know what you're doing. Particularly with editorial stuff, us regular folk can still grab inspiration from it: hey, look at that orange lip color; whoa, look at those brows.
This post does neither. It's a decent look... plus face paint. Yeah, face painting could count as makeup but clearly this audience isn't interested in it.
Agreed--regardless of products used, it is a facepaint look not a makeup look.
I guess I can see that, I just thought it would be a fun look seeing that Coachella is right around the corner! I can't wait!
It IS a fun look, but I think this is why MUA doesn't like it. Would be a great submission for r/pics!
I used all makeup up products, not face paint. And last I heard, makeup is art, it is a way to express oneself! I'd rather express myself than be boring. And if you read the comments, you could have seen that I do video tutorials (aka 10+ hours of editing and making everything flow nicely) I'm not posting the same thing twice, they're two different things, an opinion and the actual tutorial.
Regardless of product, it is essentially face paint. You put flowers on your face. That's not the opposite of boring that's the opposite of "practical," "flattering," "fashion-forward," and probably from the point of view of most by-standers, "sanity."
Also, there's a giant gaping hole in your logic of "this is my makeup and it's art" and calling other looks that don't incorporate giant flowers as "boring."
As someone else pointed out, you would get laughed out of other subs if you posted asking, "Hey, do you want a rage comic about relationships? I'll make it if I get enough response!"
I edit videos regularly for school. Ten hours? Are you doing something wrong there? Even if it does take you that long, honestly what do you expect? It's time consuming for everyone to make videos and all the youtube gurus don't pull this shit of "IT TOOK ME TEN HOURS TO MAKE THIS! REWARD ME WITH COMPLIMENTS!"
I'm not calling any makeup look boring I'm saying that makeup is art. Can you show me the guidelines we should strictly follow for makeup looks? Should I not use the color orange because its not "practical" or should I not create a makeup mask because its not "fashion-forward"? Define "practical" for me, and while you're at it, define "flattering" and "fashion-forward"? I would like to also have the exact guidelines for those definitions as well. It's almost like you're trying to define the word "moral" it can't be done because everyone has their own standards and expectations.
I'm not complaining about the time consumption, I'm simply trying to get a opinion from my viewers. Geez relax Debby Downer.
I'm sorry but if disliking something constitutes ridiculous then please considering posting to r/circlejerk instead where no one will be downvoted. We are entitled to our opinions after all.
Believe me, I am all for the downvote button, but I am seriously not circlejerking here at all and don't know how you got that impression. Downvoting this post and all of her comments into the negatives was extremely unnecessary and uncalled for when a lot less substantial posts in this subreddit DO get 100+ points and have very circlejerky comments.
I don't think I'm obligated to upvote this post just because less substantial posts get upvoted. In my opinion this post is rather worthless and adds nothing to the subreddt (note that I'm saying nothing about other posts).
So to answer OP's question: No.
I'm sorry but I think that your argument is probably the weakest argument I have ever encountered. You're down voting my post simply because I asked for an opinion. I think it's rather funny that you have to create another reddit just to double down vote the posts of people that you disagree with, seeing as you only have one link karma on your profile. I would like to see you create a makeup look worth saying something about, seeing that all your contribution to this subreddit is useless, you're just a sad troll and I feel sorry for you.
