Make Up Fridays

It's been a crazy week and i'm posting like mad! Tonight brings more craziness with the Welcome to the Rileys screening and i believe if all goes to plan i shall be up hopefully blogging the look so i hope the coverage of the event will be good so we get pictures quickly. L.A and the UK time difference is effecting my sleeping schedule but i enjoy bringing you guys these posts as quickly as i possibly can. i'm aware alot of the looks have been red carpet and there has been a few casual outfits i haven't covered but i will get back to those as soon as i possibly can for you guys.

So todays look is the much awaited Elle 2010 Magazine shoot and i'm pleased to say @kstewmakeup is using the same products used on Kristen for the shoot! I know some of you were looking forward to this look s let me know how it goes if any of you try it out. I think we can agree the whole make up look was flawless, classy and feminine.

As always a big thank you to @kstewmakeup for filming these tutorials and allowing me to post them on this blog. She has her own fashion blog for Emma Watson so if you are a fan check it out here: http://emmawatsonfashion.blogspot.com/.

NOTE: For tutorials you do not need the exact make up @kstewmakeup uses, similar colours from any brand you feel comfortable using will do.

Face
If you’re using the Avon foundation you will not need a brightening primer, let alone any primer at all, or highlighter. Apply the foundation to the T-zone and cheeks. Then apply powder to the jaw and neck ( a light layer). Matte any areas where you think you’re face is a bit too shiny. Then apply the blush sparingly. Don’t put too much of this colour on as it is a very strong colour. Apply to the cheekbones and extend to the apple of your cheeks and your temples.

Eye
Apply your shadow primer then apply the base colour (which should be the same colour as your skin) to the eye lid, lower lid and brow bone using a fluffy brush. Then using the fluffy brush again apply the colour “Sin” to the upper eye lid and brow bone only. Paying special attention to the eye lid. Then using a thin brush apply the “Smokey Quartz” like a liner to the lower lid. Making sure the lie gets thicker towards to outer edge of the lower lid. Next apply the liquid liner to the top lid only in one smooth line from inner to outer corner, gradually building up the colour as you go along. Then make sure to draw a small flick at the edge. Next, brush out your eye brow and fill in the brow with the Glimmerstick. Finally apply your mascara. Make sure you put more emphasis on the top lashes.

Lips
This colour is also very strong so use it sparingly. Gently tap the colour onto the upper and lower lip and blend the colour out across the lips.

That’s the look complete! Hope you enjoyed it!
