make up tutorials

On Twitter I saw that somebody had tweeted the Chanel Couture Make-Up and I haven’t done a Make-Up one in a while, so now’s the chance! Here’s how you can create the look… (Image below is from Vogue)

Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Aigle Noir £17.00 (NARS), Technakohl Liner in Graphblack £14.00 (MAC), Zoom Lash Mascara in Zoomblack £14.00 (MAC), Jemma Kidd Hi-Shine Silk Touch Lipgloss in Shell £14.00 (Beauty Expert), Bobbi Brown Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation in Warm Beige £31.00 (House of Fraser) Face Touch Up Stick in Albaster £19.00 (Bobbi Brown) & Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Ready Blush in The Aphrodisiac £19.95 (Click Skin Essentials).

As you can see in the first image, Chanel have gone for a jet black full eye shadow look. Adding a bold shade to the eye, allows you to experiment but leaves room for your lips to stay nude. Using this black shadow pencil means you can also use it for a really big chunky line in other uses. Add either a shimmery grey liner or a slightly more grey liner to open up the eyes more. The lips are very nude in this look, and the Jemma Kidd Lipgloss’ are great as they really do feel like silk! For the foundation go flawless and quite light, perhaps a shade or two lighter than usual, and the same on the concealer!

I hope you like this post, and I am sorry that it wasn’t a budget post, but I do love all these brands!

I have had someone answer in my Survey, that they wanted some posts on cheap make-up, so I decided to do a post on how to create a celebrity look using cheap make-up. So here it is…. (Picture found via Glamour.com)

 1: FOUNDATION, CONCEALER & PRIMER.

PRIMER £4.00, CONCEALER £1.99, FOUNDATION £3.49.

Jessica has quite a glowing tone, and the Foundation I have chosen is really light and natural, and the Concealer matches really well. Primers are handy because they make sure that the Make-Up applied on top stays for longer, and it also makes any colour stand out stronger.

2: EYE MAKE-UP, LASHES & EYEBROW PENCIL.

MASCARA £1.00, LASHES £1.99, EYEBROW PEN £2.59 & EYESHADOW £1.00.

Jessica is working a smokey eye, but with a little bit of pinky colour, so these MUA £1.00 are brilliant for this look!

3. BLUSHER,BRONZER & POWDER.

POWDER £1.99, BRONZER £1.00 & BLUSHER £1.00.

For the Powder, Blusher & Bronzer you want light natural colours to compliment the smoky eyes.

4: LIPS

LIPSTICK £1.49 & LIPGLOSS £1.99.

This Lipstick & Gloss go really well, but make sure when applying that you only use the Gloss as a highlighter and only apply to the center of the lips.

So, all together the total of this Jessica Alba look is…

TOTAL PRICE = £26.53!
