I get asked how I get my every day look all the time. It’s a retro inspired look with my signature red lipstick and cat eye eyeliner but its pretty basic and it takes me about 15 minutes to perfect while my hair is drying in the morning. Some times I add things like gloss or fake eyelashes but this is the routine I tend to stick to. I hope this helps!
1. Moisturize Use a lightweight moisturizer about five minutes before applying your base, allowing it to absorb into the skin better. | 2. Apply a makeup base My favorite film quality foundations to help achieve velvety radiant skin. Apply a small dime-sized amount all over your face with a foundation brush or sponge. |
3. Eyebrows Using a very stiff angled lining brush, dip your brush in a tiny amount of waterproof cream and gently draw a thin line across the top following your natural brow line outward. Fill in with powder. | 4. Eye shadow apply a medium slate grey shadow over the entire lid. Lighten the grey in the middle of your lid by shimmery white powder then apply a dark grey shadow to the crease of your eyelid and blend up. |
5. Eyeliner Apply black eyeliner and to the top of her eyes. Using a fine angled lining brush and black liquid of cake liner, draw a very narrow line going from the top inner corner of your lid at lash line and gently go outward to the end of the lid. Then with your eyes open, gently flick the liquid lining brush in an up and outward direction. This creates little cat eye effect. | 6. Mascara Apply a coat or two of black mascara to the lashes (both real and false). Remember to apply the mascara to just the top lashes. |
9. Blush Think high drama and contour. Using an angled blush brush, apply a darker flesh tone tan color underneath your cheekbones brushing the blush at an upward angle and out. This will help define your cheekbone area. Then using a larger blush brush, sweep a softer light rose color across your actual cheekbones, in an up and outward motion. | 10. Lips. When applying your lip liner, line your lips slightly on the outside of your natural lip line top and bottom, making your lips appear fuller. Remember to draw a very defined “Cupid’s Bow” on your top lip, but do not over draw the Cupid’s bow above your natural one. Choosing the color for your lip liner. Then with the lip liner, gently brush the liner pencil over the entire lip coloring in as much as you can. After that, gently brush translucent powder over your lips to set the color. You will then proceed with your lipstick color. |
