EVENING GLAM
Hi everyone, so I know iv not posted in around 2 weeks as uni deadlines crept up. I know that Christmas and New years is just around the corner and a lot of you are going around looking for Christmas and new years outfits but if you've not thought about the makeup you'll be wearing, iv got a glamorous look that you could try out that isn't your usual glamorous red lips.
I first started by prepping the skin and to do that I applied the 'Laura Mercier' primer which will set the makeup and even out the makeup and make it last through your new years party.I wanted to give the contour a natural finish so I contoured using the Mac concealer in the darkest and lightest shade to contour and highlight.I then went onto perfecting the base. For the foundation I used the Makeup Forever 'HD Invisible cover Foundation' mixed with a little bit of Nars 'Sheer Glow' foundation to get the right shade.The flash in the pictures makes it look like iv kept her face lighter than the rest of the body but I assure you iv matched it perfectly by blending both colours well and then using a beauty blender to apply it evenly over her face, the beauty blender gives your foundation a flawless finish and it blends in the contour and highlight well.I contoured under her cheekbones and around her face to give the illusion of a slimmer face and also down the sides of her nose to make it look like she had a longer and thinner nose.I added the highlight colour underneath her eyes, down her nose, her chin, forehead and above her lip to give the illusion of fuller lips.
I then set the foundation with Nars 'light reflecting powder' with the Mac '150 large powder brush ' to set the makeup and give it an all round glow without it looking really caked on.
I set her eyes with my all time fave Ben Nye 'banana powder' using the Real Techniques 'Setting brush'
I then added highlight powder onto the top of her cheekbones using the Laura Mercier highlight powder in 'Candlelight' and the limited edition blusher from Mac from Rihannas collection.
I added a base for the eye shadow by first using the Urban Decay 'Primer Potion' and then swept 'Brule' from Mac which is a creamy-nude shade over it to give it an even base
I then first started by using an orange matte crease colour to add depth to the eyes which is by Mac called 'Rule'. I then added a matte brown from Mac called 'espresso' to the crease and blended it with the orange eyeshadow. I don't usually like a lot of colour on the eyes but this blue just looked stunning on, I added on 'Contrast' by Mac to the outer corner of the eye blending it inwards. I then added 'Carbon' by Mac just lightly at the edge to give it a bit of a smokey look. To make the eyes pop and look wider I added 'Polyester Bride' by Urban Decay from there 'Ammo' palette to the inner corner of the eyes.I also added a bit of Nars highlighter in albatross to the inner corners.
I then created a thin line by using a Loreal top liner and added lashes, these lashes were by 'Eyelure'.
I just slightly filled in her brows using the Tom Ford 'Brow Sculptor'
I then applied 'Soar' lipliner by Mac and just slightly over drew her lip and coloured them in. Over that I applied a Chanel lipgloss in 'Sweet Beige'
