Lookbook #27 – Hard Candy

October 22nd, 2010 § 12 comments

My candy and 70-80s rock star inspired look~ Been making good use of my glitter collection lately :) Some things I wish I had done better was stronger pigmentation and done a better job of drawing that star on my face, I used a stencil and it still looks rather dull :( I also found using a spritz of water or MAC Fix+ to be much better glitter adhesive, as opposed to using clear lip gloss as it feels lighter and allows my skin to breathe more. Enjoy!

The hair price I’m using was provided by Headline Hairpieces from the Melbourne Beauty Bloggers Event! I think I need to get some blue ones eventually, it would make a killer look :D

Steps to reproduce:

Face
As always, prime your face with MAC Prep + Prime. Apply MAC Mineralise Satinfinish SPF15 Foundation in NC20 all over the face, conceal with Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Beige and set with NARS Loose Powder in Flesh.

Cheeks
Standard cheeks with NARS Bronzer in Laguna to contour, NARS Powder Blush in Orgasm for the apples and NARS Highlighter in Albatross to highlight.

Eyes
Prime lids and both lash lines with NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow base. From the Coastal Scents 88 Ultra Shimmer Palette, apply a light pink all over the lid, inner corner of your eye and brow bone, and a hot pink into and above the crease and under your lower lash line. On the right side of your face, extend the hot pink all the way to your temple, shape till desired and blend! Take NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in True Purple Pearl to your crease. Next place a stencil of a star (or any shape you want) to your cheek bone and colour one side with the hot pink, and another with the purple pigment.

Use MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved to line your lash and water line. Fill and shape your brows with a medium to dark brown colour from the 88 palette. Next, hold your bottle of MAC Fix+ opposite your right temple about 20-30cms away and spray all over your eye makeup. Quickly (before the Fix+ dries) dab Coastal Scent Glitter Powder in Pinky, near the outer corner of your eye and out towards your temple. Do a second spray with your Fix+ and apply NYX Glitter Mania in Crystal over the pink glitter.

Curl your lashes, apply two coats of L’Oreal Extra Volume Collagene in Black and glue on your false lashes.

Lips
For the lips apply MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Goes and Goes, then apply MAC Dazzle Lipstick in Troublemaker on your “inner” lips for added dimension.
