This look is perfect for a big night out or special occassion! If you want to know how I created this look, carry on reading!
1. Moisturise! I love the Simple brand personally :)
2. Prime your face ready for makeup and conceal away any blemishes you may have. I chose to use my GOSH Velvet Touch Primer, Collection 2000 conceal stick, MAC creamy concealer in Warm Ivory and Collection 200 Cover and Conceal liquid stick in Fair.
3. Contour and highlight. I thought that for this look, highly defined cheekbones and jawline would work perfectly as it would give that extra sharpness and edge. Therefore, I contoured down my cheeks and sides of my nose to give a defined effect. I think that the ways I like to contour my face look like a backwards 'C' from my cheekbones to my forehead. See the above picture for a better understanding of what I am trying to explain! I also highlighted across the tops of my cheekbones and middle of my nose. I used my Zoeva Face Shape brushes to contour and highlight.
4. Cover your face in foundation. I used my Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation in number 2.
5. I like to use two powders - one a little darker and one a bit lighter to contrast eachother. I use the darker one around the edge of my face and I just dust the lighter across my t-zone. I don't put on much powder because I still like my face to have a bit of a natural glow to it.
6. I like to put a little more bronzer on to contour my cheekbones into looking a little more defined. I use an angled face brush to create a defined look. I then dusted a tiny bit of my Bobbi Brown blush across the apples of my cheeks to add a bit of colour to my face. I used my Real Techniques blush brush as an applicator.
7. This is the difference between one finished eyebrow and one not started on yet. I used my Too Faced Bulletproof Brows to fill in my eyebrows. For this look, I wanted my eyebrows to stand out more than I usually do. Therefore, I filled them in a little darker and a little thicker than I normally would.
8. Prime your eyes for makeup.
9. I applied no. 1 across the entirety of my eyelid, no. 2 from the outer corner of my eyelid into the middle of my eyelid, no. 3 close to my lash line and in the outer third of my eyelid. I then used my Zoeva pigment in Expensive Black with my Lancome fluffy brush to create a smokey eye effect. I used all shimmery or glittery eye shadows to really get the glamour into this glamorous look.
10. I used my Bourjois Mega Liner to create a dramatic flick and my Zoeva graphic black eyeliner to line my waterline.
11. I then applied mascara to my eyelashes to create long, dark and thick looking lashes. The mascaras I used where: Max Factor's Wild Mega Volume, Topshop's Doe Eyed Lashes, Lancome's Hypnose Star and Charlotte Tilbury's Full Fat Lashes.
12. Lastly, I used my favourite lipstick called 'Vogue' by Lord & Berry and to finish the look off, I put on a deep red lipgloss to create a shiny colour. I think this pulls the whole look together and really plays on the 'vamp' side to this look.
