Make Up Recreation

I apologise.. again...for my massive lack of posting! However, I'm back! And tonight I'm sharing with you my favourite boredom breaker. Summer is obviously over and the dark Autumnal nights have officially arrived meaning evenings indoors can get a little boring; I mean there's only so much lazing around snuggling up with a hot chocolate you can do (I'm lying, you can never do too much of that)

So I have stored on my phone an album chocka-block full of make up look that inspire me. I usually only use them as ways to inspire my own make up looks however I decided to do the full monty and recreate this beautiful woman's make up as best I could.

Face

For my face I simply used just my trusty No7 Beautifully Matte foundation in the shade Calico with no bronzer or highlighter to try and replicate her flawless complexion. Having such dramatic eye make up means face and lips need to be quite subtle and plain so the eyes really stand out and the make up look isn't too OTT. 

Eyes & Eyebrows

Here's where the fun starts! This make up is all about the eyes and all about the drama. I tried my hardest to go as smokey as she has however my fear of too much black kicked in a tad. For my eyeshadow I used my Naked 2 palette and used only the last 2 shades; Busted and Blackout

I first applied the shade Busted lightly across the entire lid with a fluffy brush. I then applied the shade Black out using the same fluffy brush lightly to the crease and buffed it out up towards my brow bone. I then applied the same shade, Blackout, using a liner brush to my lower lash line and buffed this out slightly too to add more drama. 

I applied as much of my Dior Addict IT-lash mascara as I could however I couldn't quite manage to get the same dramatic lashes as she did without having to use falsies.
I added a lick of my favourite liquid eyeliner, Rimmel Exaggerate, to my upper lash line to try and add abit more depth. I then thickly applied my Rimmle eyebrow pencil and really tried to arch my brows up slightly higher than I normally would to try and recreate her totally to die for brows. 

Lips

For lips I purely just painted on a coat of my favourite light pink lipstick, Makeup Revolution's glorious £1 lipstick in the shade The One. I now, however, am gutted I can't find this lippy anywhere to take a photo of it so here is the photo from the Superdrug website. This is a beautiful light pink shade with a slightly glossy finish. This lipstick looks amazing with tanned skin too.

So after shoving my hair up into a messy/neat bun (if that isn't a perfect example on an oxymoron I don't know what is) and took a cheeky selfie here is my finished look! Considering this is my first recreation I'm quite pleased with the outcome, however I do need to dare to be smokier and panda my eyes up abit more.

I had so much fun recreating this look and can't wait to try out some more and share them with you!
