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.

Makeup Update

Hey guys! I'm so sorry for the lack of videos recently. I've been super busy with deadlines but I'm hoping to have a video for you this weekend. And for all you Emma Watson fans, I'm going to be doing a whole string of videos on her makeup looks from the HP7 promotional whirlwind with the help of Kiki who will be covering the fashion side of things! For those who want to check those videos and fashion breakdowns when they're posted, head over to the Emma Watson Fashion Blog (http://www.emmawatsonfashion.blogspot.com). There are loads of videos I want to do for Emma, unfortunately that means my Kristen videos will be taking a back seat for a while after this week, but we haven't really seen much of Kristen lately apart from Breaking Dawn set pics so I'm hoping you guys won't hate me! Thanks for the concerns,you're all incredibly sweet. I have no idea what I'd do without you! Ok, now I'm getting super cheesy so I'm gonna go. Love you all! Bye!! xxxx

FACE

Usual steps apply here. I used a generic Boots foundation brush to apply my foundation. I applied it over my eyebrows but not my lips as I wanted my natural colour to show through. Add powder if you haven’t used the STAY MATTE FOUNDATION as I gave. Next, using a Ruby & Mille blush brush, I applied a medium brown blush underneath my cheekbones.

 

EYES

After applying the primer, I applied the HALF BAKED colour to the lid and as a liner on the lower lid with a Ruby & Mille eye shadow brush. Next, I applied the TWICE BAKED to the socket and half way across the lower lid and blended the colours using a blending brush. Finally I applied the silver colour from the RIMMEL LONDON palette to the eye lid. Apply quite a lot of this colour as you want it to stand out.

Next, apply liner to the outer halves of both lids and smudge inwards and slightly upwards. Then apply more black liner and smudge it a bit again. Finally apply mascara.

LIPS

Keep it natural and stay towards the pinks.

FACE

I started off by mixing a pale foundation with a slightly darker one to make the perfect shade. You don’t have to do this, I’m doing it because the Rimmel foundation is slightly darker than my natural shade and the Gosh foundation is too pale. Since I used a Stay Matte foundation, I don’t need a powder. I also added foundation to the lips and eyebrows as there will be colour going over them. You may use a powder if you wish. Next I added a medium brown blush underneath the cheekbones to create definition.

EYES

After adding the primer I applied YDK to both lids with a fluffy blending brush. Then, using a thin brush I applied the Twice Baked to the top lid as a liner and blended the two existing colours slightly. Finally I added the Midnight Cowboy to the top lid mainly for the sparkle it gives (this is to replicate the sparkle which Kristen wears on her top lid). Next I added black liner to the top waterline and finished the look off with black mascara.

For brows use a dark brown pencil as her brows are quite dark, as most of you will know, there aren’t her natural shade on this particular occasion as she dyed them to match her hair colour. Despite this, I think they went very well with the rest of the look .

LIPS

For lips keep it natural. I used Avon “Luxe Lace” Lipstick in Pout.

Hey everyone! Before I start into the tutorial, I want to say a big “get well soon” to Kiki who has badly hurt her leg. Pop over to her twitter and give her encouraging messages here .

And another thing, I now post little non-makeup videos over at my Bourjoisxx channel and I’m trying something new so go check it out and tell me what you think.

Today’s Makeup Tutorial will be the MTV Movie Awards 2010. I loved this look makeup wise. It must have been so warm in the middle of summer in L.A. and this fresh and minimal look was perfect and went very well with the black and gold of her dress. For the fashion break down, click here.

FACE

Usual drill for the face. I applied my foundation with a brush for better coverage and powder to reduce shine. Then using a medium brown (not applying too much) i highlighted my cheekbones.

 

EYES

Starting with eyebrows, i brush them out and add a natural colour but not too much colour. Just add colour where it’s needed on your brows. Then apply a clear mascara to the brows to keep them in place.

Next apply a primer potion and apply the colour "Chopper" to the eyelid with a fluffy brush. extend the colour only slightly past the crease. Apply to to the lower lid also in a thin – medium line. Next apply a medium brown colour to the eyelid only. Don’t make it too strong. Next apply the cream liner with a thin liner brush. Apply it in a medium – thick line and draw a  small flick at the end. then using the pencil liner, apply it lightly to the lower lid. Then smudge the top of the cream liner slightly. Next apply mascara and you’re done.

LIPS

For lips, just add clear or natural gloss, or lipstick .

First Video Q&A

*Blogged by Maria*

So this is my solution to answering all the questions I get on my YouTube videos. From now on instead of me writing millions of comments on each of my videos I will answer your questions more efficiently on this blog. To watch more of my videos click here. I’m also thinking of setting up another channel by Friday to host my latest Makeup Friday video and to house makeup videos only. I’ll keep everyone posted on that and I still have to come up with a name for the channel. If anyone has any ideas, please throw suggestions my way.

This first question was posted on my Eyebrow tutorial video from GhostBunnyEatsCheese

Q: Awesome! Thank you for making this! Random question but what do you use in your hair? It looks awesome!!

A: Haha! I thought my hair looked awful on the video but thank you very much! I just shampooed my hair with Avon Daily Shine 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner.
