I thought I’ll pop in and share a
little makeup look I recreated/ put my own spin on yesterday. As you can probably
tell, this has been inspired by the lovely Lily Collins & her makeup in
this year’s Golden Globes a couple of weeks ago.
By now, we all know about it
and have gasped, oooh’d and aaah’d over her soft yet striking look on social
media.This look was however a spur of
the moment kind of idea as it started off with me testing out a new foundation,
which I plan to write a long post about (stay tuned!) and ended in this makeup look which I
was quite pleased with.
The sweater I was wearing was
very similar in colour to Lily’s dress and I instantly thought about using the
same dusty pink tones on my eyes as well to match a little. Since the softness of the eye shadow(or in this case a peachy/pink blush used as an eye shadow) is the main focus here, I
kept it quite minimal by skipping the liner and only going with a bit of
mascara and kohl smudged under the lashes.
Eyebrow skills are my probably not my strength since mine are nowhere as beautiful as hers but I tried to make them
look considerably fuller and a little bit bolder than I go for on an everyday
basis. The vampy lip colour finally pulled those pinky tones together and completed this look.
