Lookbook #23 – Red Vamp

Even though I’ve sketched out many a lookbook there are some evenings after work that all I want to do is chill out and basically… muck around! This is the result, not nearly as “crazy” as I normally get, I didn’t want to scare you guys with some of the… ‘creations’ I end up with? hehe

My favourite part is the blush, you’ll see it clearer in some photos, it’s a sharp cut down using nothing more than sticky tape 😉 I’m starting to think sticky tape is now one of my beauty essentials!

How to reproduce:
Face
Apply NARS’ Sheer Flow Foundation in Gobi all over the face, and lighten any shadows with Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Eclat. Then seal everything with NARS’ Loose Powder in Flesh.

Cheeks
Using two pieces of tape, place them diagonally starting from the side of your lips all the way up to your ear. The angle can be adjusted to whatever you want. Then using MAC’s Powder Blush in Apple Red start from just below your temples and work your way down. You want the most colour saturation to remain closer to your ear and fade out as the tape reaches your lips. Next apply Canmake Highlighter to the apples of your cheeks for an added pop, as well as bridge of your nose, chin and forehead.

Eyes
Apply NARS’ Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base (my new official favourite primer!) all over the lid.

Then using colours from Coastal Scent’s 88 Ultra Shimmer palette, apply a pink colour just above the crease and purple colour into your crease. Then with a black shadow, apply it into the outer corner of your eye. Finally apply a medium blue colour over your entire lid, and make sure everything is well blended. Each colour should fade into each other seamlessly. Apply a white shimmering shadow to the inner corner of your eye and brow bone. Then apply some of the purple under your lower lashes.

Line your upper and lower lashes with MAC’s Fluidline Blacktrack, be sure to wing out your liner. Curl your lashes and apply two coats of L’Oreal’s Extra Volume Collagene in Black.

Lips
Apply NYX’s Lipstick in Snow White all over your lips and coat with Dior’s Addict Plastic Gloss in 854.
