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?
