Some people have asked us how we usually do our make-up and since Audi Fashion Festival is tomorrow, we thought you might need some help tying your look together with a classic winged eyeliner and strong lips.
Bare face gah! Always prep your skin before putting on make-up. I’m using the In Transit Camera Close-Up from This Works. This product is an all-in-one mask, moisturiser and primer. I’m quite particular about ingredients and I’m glad that this primer doesn’t contain any parabens, mineral oil, synthetic fragrances and sulphates. Just smooth it on your skin, wait for a few minutes for it to be absorbed before putting on foundation.
For the foundation, I am using the Edward Bess Black Sea Complexion Correcting Mousse Foundation. The texture is light and fluffy but it gives ample coverage for my blemishes, spots and the redness around my nose.
I can’t believe that just a few months ago, I thought it would be okay to go out without drawing my eyebrows. I couldn’t be more wrong.
Girls, this is the difference between polished and unkempt. Always draw your brows.
I’m going with something a little lighter on the eye shadow so that the eyeliner would be more obvious. Apply a mid-tone brown all over the lids and then blend in a darker shade where I have marked in the above picture. Then, using a highlighter shade, apply liberally on the brow bone and start blending downwards.
As for the eyeliner, I work with a liquid one for a more precise line. Draw a line along the lash line and flick upwards towards the end. Create a little ‘V’ and join that line to the corner of your eye. Don’t worry if it looks weird right now, it’s just an outline. Slowly fill it in with your eyeliner and you’ve got yourself a dramatic winged eyeliner! Don’t forget to draw your lower lash line as well.
Apply 2-3 coats of mascara on your upper and lower lashes and then apply blush. I forgot to take photos of this step but I’m using the ZOEVA Luxe Colour Blush in Rush Rush for a lovely rose coral colour.
Optional: If you prefer the Korean gradient lips, lightly pat the colour on starting from the inside.
I’m using one of the most gorgeous red from DuWop called Chop Styxx. The DuWop Lip Venom feels minty when applied so I guess that’s where the lip plumping effect comes in. It goes off after a while so don’t be too alarmed by it.
There are of course more steps involved in a full make up look. For example, I left out contouring and highlighting as that would most likely be another tutorial in itself but do let us know if you are interested!
So there you have it! A classic winged eyeliner and red lippie look!
