The Eyes
*Prep them first, normally I use a bit of primer, but if that's not to hand you can dab on a bit of concealer over your lid and under your eye.*
First use a
black liner pencil to
tightline your eyes, for those who aren't familiar with the term, 'tightlining' means colouring in the waterline of your eye. You have an upper waterline and a lower waterline, if you look up there is a tiny bit of space between your lashes and your eye, that's your upper waterline. Then if you look straight ahead you'll notice just above your bottom lashes there is another tiny bit of space.. the lower waterline. Once you've done this, pick up your chosen
pink eye shadow and cover your entire
lid, you want to
blend this out slightly
above your
crease line (this is the crease line that you see when you have your eye open). Then using a
black shadow you want to
deposit the colour at the
outer corner of your
crease line and
blend slightly inwards but not too far, you don't want to reach the middle, just sit it in the outer corner. Then similarly using a
white shadow, you want to
deposit the colour at the
inner corner of your eye and then
blend slightly inward.
Next up is the
eyeliner along your
top lashline, the tricky bit is getting your flicks/wings to look symmetrical, but that comes with practise and a steady hand. I do find it easier using a
pen/felt tip style liner though when drawing a winged line on. On this look, which you can't see because my eyes are closed I used the
liner pen under my
lower lashline as well, just to add an extra bit of drama to the look. Then pop on your
false lashes (if you want the dramatic eyes effect, or you can pop on a bit of mascara.)
The Face
This is far simpler,
prep your skin and put on a
primer (if you use one) and then
foundation. Make sure you
buff it into your skin and then you can
contour and highlight like I've done *make sure you blend it in too*
(I
contoured using a
bronzer round my face and down my neck,
either side of my nose and in
the hollows of my cheeks/ just under my cheek bones. I ran a
highlighter down the bridge of my nose, my cupids bow, which is the V shape of my top lips and ran a bit on the
centre of my bottom lip.) Or alternatively if you like a simpler skin base you can just add a touch of blush to the apples of your cheeks.
Then you can brush on a
light pink gloss and you're ready to go!
