Welcome to our beloved “Get The Look” series where we explore the art of makeup and guide you through the steps to achieve stunning celebrity-inspired looks. In this edition, we’re breaking down a chic and sultry makeup style that exudes elegance and a touch of drama.
This look showcases a gorgeous, smoldering eye with neutral tones, a flawless matte complexion, perfectly sculpted brows, and a nude lip. Let’s recreate this sophisticated appearance:
- Face: Begin with a matte primer to minimize pores and create a smooth base. Follow with a matte finish foundation for a seamless, airbrushed look. Conceal any blemishes or under-eye circles with a full-coverage concealer, then set with a fine-milled translucent powder to lock everything in place.
- Eyes: Prime the eyelids to ensure your eyeshadow stays put all day. Use a warm brown eyeshadow in the crease to define and deepen the eye shape. Apply a darker brown on the outer corners and blend towards the center of the lid for a gradient effect. Pat a champagne shimmer shadow on the center of the lids for a subtle highlight. Line the upper and lower lash lines with a brown eyeliner and blend for a soft, smokey look. Finish with several coats of a lengthening mascara.
- Eyebrows: Brush up the brows and fill them in with a brow powder or pencil that complements your hair color. Set with a clear brow gel.
- Cheeks: Contour the cheeks with a matte bronzer, blend a neutral blush on the apples of the cheeks, and highlight the cheekbones with a golden-toned highlighter for a radiant glow.
- Lips: Line the lips with a nude lip liner and fill them in with a nude matte lipstick that complements your skin tone.
- Setting: Use a setting spray to ensure the makeup stays fresh and intact throughout the day.
