I was unsure on what my next blog post should be, so i took to Twitter to ask what you guys would like see.
Maybe it was a mistake ... but pretty much all the responses were asking me to do a make up tutorial. Conveniently, my girlfriend Annie has been nagging me to do her make up for as long as we have known eachother. And of course being the man I am, I simply refused. But over the weekend, she got her own way!
First things first, you have to put your hair up. The last thing you want is your hair in your face when creating your masterpiece.
- Touch of Base- using a Mac foundation brush, Annie evenly spread the foundation on my face. We decided to go a few shades darker than I normally should go...
Conceal/Highlight- Concealer was applied under my eyes, on the bridge of my nose, above my lip, on my chin, on my brow bone and on my forehead. Annie then blended this with a Beauty Blender. - Contour/Highlight- The Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour pallet was used to set the concealer and contour my face.
- Powder and Blush- To blend my foundation, Annie used loose translucent powder and blush on the apples of my cheeks. (note: the fastest way to find the apples of your cheeks is to smile!)
- Eyes- A bronze shade was applied in the creases of my eyelid with a Real Techniques flat brush and a gold shadow was added on the bottom of my lip and then blended.
- Mascara- A Lancome mascara was used on my top and bottom lashes. Annie focused on the outer lashes with the top of the brush. (note: use an eyelash curler before you apply mascara for an even bigger eyelash boost)
- Eyebrows- As my eyebrows are already on fleek, Annie only lightly filled my small gaps with a Maybelline eyebrow pencil and brushes the hairs up.
- Lips- Using a lipstick brush, Annie applied a matte Mac lippy. (the shade is Diva)
This is the end product.
Let me know what you all think.
