Makeup Fridays: Vogue February 2011



*Blogged by Maria*

Needless to say I loved this look although in some pictures there was a little too much photo-shopping, but I think everyone can agree on that! Now on to the look, sorry about the lateness of this but if you lose an internet connection at University here, you don't get it back for hours! Hopefully this makes up for it.






PRODUCTS LIST

Burberry Sheer Foundation No.1
Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in 003 Peach Glow
Bourjois Blush in 85
Too Faced Shadows in "Unmentionables", "Pillow Talk" & "In The Buff"
Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner in Black
Lancome Hypnose Precious Cells Mascara in Black

FACE
Before applying my foundation I exfoliated and moisturised using Nivea Soft moisturiser. Then using a MAC 190 foundation brush, I applied the foundation over the face, lips and brows. Only after I applied the rest of the makeup did I set the look with a brown blush for contouring purposes and a light powder.

EYES
If you need to apply a primer now to the eyelid. For this you can use the actual colour used on Kristen which was Iridescent Violet by Estee Lauder or you can use a dark, warm brown. Seeing as the colour is not available in the UK I used a brown. I applied it using a regular eyeshadow brush to the eyelid only and blended the shadow upwards only slightly. Then, line the lower lid with a lighter brown. Next to define your eyes even more, apply a black liner to the top lid and blend. Then, once you've done your brows apply a white or creamy white colour under the brow, and apply loads of mascara to the top lashes and not so much to the lower lid.

BROWS
You want to make your brows a very dark, chocolate brown colour. The perfect colour for this is the same shadow I've used for my eyes, "Unmentionables" by Too Faced. It is best to use an angled brush for this.

Kristen in Vogue

    vogue

Okay straight off the bat i'm going to say it, i'm not happy. One picture? One picture? That is straight up robbing us Vogue, you hear me? Kristen looks absolutely fantastic as always, i've been super excited to see the Vogue spread and this is all we get? You have someone like Kristen who has one of the most photogenic faces i have ever seen and is someone who can take a design and make it work simply with her attitude alone. You see that's the thing about Kristen, she's a designers dream because she can carry off the most daring designs and she's willing to take a risk. She should have been the cover in my opinion.

Onto the outfit, isn't it drool worthy? That would be a big fat yes from me. If you follow me on twitter i posted the outfit on my twitpic account straight after the picture came out. Kristens outfit is straight from the runaway and is from Isabel Marants Fall 2010 collection. Now personally i feel metallics work well on Kristen, they reflect well off of her pale skin. She wears the shirt buttoned up which i actually prefer than the loose look on the model. A simple thing like that seems to compliment her hair (weird i know). The skirt has been slightly modified i believe, it looks like some more pleats have been added in than the original runaway design. Her boots are by Jill Stuart, there's no default unfortunately and i looked hard! I want to thank @xTeamRobstenx for cropping the picture of her shoes for me, i appreciate it! Overall the look was sexy, mature yet the metallics gave it a youthful edge. Kristen is making a mark in the fashion industry and i can't wait to see what the Eclipse promotion brings our way steeze wise.

*Remember to read my special 200th post at the bottom, i'm asking you to e-mail me your favourite Kristen outfit picture and on Friday i'll e-mail 5 of you back and ask for a pragraph on why this is your favourite Kristen outfit. This is a great way to get your opinions posted here so don't be shy, e-mail me at kstewfashion@btinternet.com and i'll close on Friday. Remember it can be any outfit it's your opinion!*
