Bold make-up...

Bold make-up - 

Stand out from the crowd in statement make-up. Bold colours on eyes/lips bring a very retro, almost cartoonish vibe.  Create a stunning look with high intensity, vibrant shades as seen in Christian Dior and Fendi.  If this looks scares you, then tame it down with a more natural shade of the lip and/or eye colour.

While the sky is the limit for colours of eye shadow, one rule does apply: do not choose an eye shadow that matches your outfit. It must be a contrasting colour.  Recreate this look - Think: conventional smoky eye but with colour! Use green/blue and accentuate those lashes! You will not go wrong if you plan on making a smoky eye out of any hue you use!  For lips, if you are doing strong eye make-up then play down your lips by using a clear gloss or nude lip colour, the same applies if you are using a strong colour on your lips, use nude shades on your eyes to avoid make-up overkill! 

Products used – (Bobbi Brown) Luminous moisturizing foundation for a dewy look, concealer where needed and set with sheer loose powder just down the t-zone.  Define the brows by using eyeshadow.  Apply eyeshadow in Bone all over the eye area, then on the lid and around the eye apply Passionate by MAC and blend into the crease of the eye, blend well to achieve a more natural look.  Apply black Long-wear gel eyeliner by Bobbi Brown along the top lash line and wing out.  Apply Blacksplash, Splashproof lash by MAC. Then apply MAC false eyelashes and blend together by finishing with another sweep of mascara.  Keep the cheeks glowing by applying a cream blush in Pale Pink by Bobbi Brown then apply a shimmer brick as a highlighter on the top of the cheekbones, I used Rose.  For lips apply Beige lip colour straight from the bullet and blend with your fingers and then apply a little clear gloss in the centre of the lips.

I use Make-up Forever Mist and fix to set the make-up and make sure it lasts all day. Available from www.gurumakeupemporium.com
