Virtual Make-Up Experiments


How to Achieve this look: A) Make Up. Personally I like to start with the eye make-up before completing the entire face. How to do this look: Lid Color- Dior 2 Color Eyeshadow: Bronzy Look. Apply the Lightest color in the pack on the inner half of the lid, and the darker color on the outer lid. Crease: POP Beauty Eye Cake: Mocha Eyes. Using a crease brush, lightly apply this product to make your eyes pop a little more. Highlight: Highlight colors vary depending on skin tone. For tan skin tones use Mac's Brule Eye Shadow- it's a soft creamy-beige color and is a Satin Shadow. For those with lighter skin tones, use Mac's Shroom, very similar to Brule, and is a soft beige with shimmer which is also a Satin shadow. Liner: Revlon Color-Stay Liquid Liner- Apply on the upper lid line and the lower water line. Adding small wings will make your eyes widen slightly but this neutral look goes better without the wings. Now, Mascara! Loreal Volume Shocking Mascara in shade Black 405. * A tip for the fake eyelash look without the fake eyelashes: First, apply a non-waterproof mascara to your lashes, make sure the brush you use is a thin mascara brush. Next, apply a waterproof mascara with a fatter brush. One that perfectly suits this example is CoverGirl's Lashblast mascara- the waterproof one (orange). So next move onto the foundation. Now foundation not only evens skin color tones but it also helps to eliminate unwanted complexion damages such as acne, cuts, etc. it's best to go to a make up professional to see which foundation tone is right for you, and a quality foundation can range anywhere from $12-$100. In this experiment, the foundation used is Clinique Superbalanced Makeup in tone color- Fair. Next, use and blend in the colcealer to get rid of bags under the eyes. This experiment uses Josie Maran Concealer in Butter Color. Next comes the blush. In this experiment I used Nars Multiple Duo blush in Maui/Palm Beach tone. For this blush style, first focus on the apples of your cheeks and brush in a circular motion moving up in a C shape towards your temples. Lastly, the lips. I used Laura Mercier Lip Color Shimmer in Brown Plum. It's important to accommodate color based on your skin tone and lip color. Apply the color to your lip and add some clear gloss if wanted to make your lips more luscious!

Hair: Having hair color similar to your root color makes it easier to maintain and easier to play with. This hair color is a warm chestnut brown color with dark red tones to create a warmer look.

Currently there's about 6 looks done so I'll be posting some more. Hope you enjoyed!! See'ya! <3 Rachel!
