I started by picking a sheer foundation a few shades lighter than her natural skin tone (MUFE Face and Body) and buffed it onto her face and down her neck. I also took a fair amount over her lips to keep everything blanched out. I then used my Derma Color Camouflage Palette to touch up any imperfections and brighten up under the eyes. That was all I did to the skin as I wanted the look to be all about the eyes and for everything else to fade away.
I stuck to cream products for the eyes. I think they create a beautiful color tone and texture. I blended a combination of plum-toned lipstick (Rimmel Kate Moss 09), the darkest shade from my Maqpro Palette (an amazing all-rounder palette to have by the way) and NYX’s Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean in an ombre effect over the lids. I know that lipstick might seem like an odd choice for eyes, but I think one of the joys of makeup is finding innovative ways of using it. Finally right before we look the shot I applied a clear gloss onto the lids and voila – that was the look.
That’s it guys. I’d love your feedback on these posts. Am I giving too much detail on what I did or was it interesting? Ps. please help me think of a better name for this series! Pps. just so you know, she was wearing a shirt in the picture. We just pulled the straps down. We don’t prance around the house half nude for fun.
...all of the time.
