RECREATION OF LISA ELDRIDGE'S CARA DELEVINGNE W MAGAZINE PARTY LOOK

Hey! I recently watched Lisa Eldridge's video in which she recreated the look she did on Cara Delevingne, and I absolutely loved it! I'm never normally a huge fan of metallic eye shadows but I loved this silver eye look and decided to recreate it using the products I had here and this is what I came up with :-)

Ha, okay, bear with me a sec. I've just moved flat and i'm still trying to work out the best lighting so apologies for crappy images. Anyway, for my base I used NARS Sheer Glow and I just worked that in with my fingers as I wanted quite a natural base. I used MAC's Studio Finish concealer over my birthmark and set just the concealer with Rimmel Stay Matte powder. I only powdered the concealer as I wanted the glow from the foundation to show through.

I used a bit of MAC Omega eyeshadow on my brows and just combed them through after. I then used my Naked 2 palette and used the colour Verve all over the lid on a flat shadow brush. Then taking a fluffy brush, I used Pistol from the palette and worked that through the outer corner. (it's hard to see from the flash, sorry!) I used Maybellines Gel Liner in black and took it really close to the lashline and winged it out slightly at the outer corner.

I tightlined my eye with the black, and then did a subtle double wing from the bottom lashline as that's what Cara looked like she had in the photo. Lisa didn't do this in her tutorial, but I added it in anyway. I curled my lashes and added mascara to my top and bottom lashes, for this I used Eyeko skinny brush mascara.

To finish the look, I contoured using Sleek's contour powder in the lightest shade and I also added a touch of Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour cream to the top of my cheekbones for highlight. I added a small amount of lip balm as well as I didn't have a good neutral for this look (boo).

To finish the look, I parted my hair to the side and created a small side plait and just pinned it back. And bam! Finished. I hope you enjoyed this post of me recreating a tutorial from Lisa (first name basis) with stuff you probably have around in your makeup bag! And I'll see you next time with exciting halloween posts!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BYE

I dyed my hair too, did you notice?

Hi!

Hello, I am back after a long while since my laptop has completely blue screen of death'd on me. Since my last post I have moved back to London so my new pictures will have a different background and hopefully I can take some photos of my new flat or London for you. The photos in this post are from a while ago from when I was back home but couldn't upload :-(

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this look!

Firstly, I did what I usually do, added some Vichy Dermablend through the centre of my face, concealed my birthmark with MAC Studio Finish, highlighted with YSL Touche Eclat  and powdered with Rimmel's Stay Matte. I can't remember if I mentioned, but i'm looking for a new powder so feel free to recommend!

OK, straight onto the eyes, I used my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and took Half Baked all over the lid, I then swept Chopper through my outer corner to add some warmth and finally Bootycall in the inner corner.

 I used my Maybelline Gel eyeliner in the colour Black to create a winged out eye liner and I just did this using a fine liner brush, I then set it by taking a matte black eye shadow on an angled brush.

Finally, I added a couple of coats of my Eyeko skinny brush mascara to my top and bottom lashes and then my Rimmel black eyeliner pencil to my waterline.

Finally I added a touch of my Sleek contour kit colour as a bronzer in the hollows of my cheeks and then used my Bourjois red lipstick in the colour 10 to my lips.

I hope you liked this look! And thank you to those who follow my blog and read these scattered posts. I have a few Halloween looks lined up as it's one of my favourite holidays which i'm really excited to create and upload for!!!!!!! Let me know if there's anything you want to see. And I hope you're all having a good autumn!

p.s also I've dyed my hair since then!
LOVE ANNIE X
