Hi guys.
I'm Lilly Keys, celebrity makeup artist, and welcome back to Wedding Bells on Videojug.
Today I am going to be showing you how to create this beautiful, dramatic, Great Gatsby
inspired bridal makeup look.
[Music]
okay so I prepared the skin for makeup, and I'm going to start with foundation.
Today I'm going to be using Mac face and body in C1.
I've actually decanted my makeup from the original bottle into these plastic bottles,
so it doesn't look like this in the store.
I'm going to be using my foundation brush from Mac.
Going to be starting on the foundation in the middle of the face and blending outwards.
So on with the concealer next, and I'm going to be using my Estée Lauder Double Wear Maximum
Coverage.
This is in Shade One Creamy Ivory.
You don't need to use a lot of this product.
A little goes a long way.
Using my touchup brush from Mac.
This product is slightly too heavy to use under the eyes, so I am only using this for
any blemishes or redness on the face.
I'm now going to be doing the under eye concealer.
I'm using this Bobby Brown eyed brightener in Lite Bisque.
Using my touchup brush from Mac again, I'm just going to be using this under the eyes.
Any under eye circles you may have, any darkness, it's really good to cover up.
So on to the brows next.
For this Great Gatsby look, we do have quite a prominent arched brow, so I'm really going
to fill in Charlotte's brows today.
I'm going to be using this NARS brow pencil in Panama, which is quite a similar color
to Charlotte's, and I'm going to build up the color to really make it stand out.
So, with short feathery strokes from inwards to out, you're just going along the natural
brow line.
Now I'm going to be taking my disposable mascara wand just to make sure that all the hairs
are brushed nicely in the brows, and because this is a real '20s look were going for today
with the proper arched brow, I'm going to be using a darker pencil.
This is also by NARS.
It's called it Iponema, slightly darker color brown, and I'm going to be highlighting the
arch.
This is a good trick when you're doing brows, is to have one color similar to your brow
color and then make the arch slightly darker.
Just gives a bit of drama to the brows.
For the mascara I'm going to be using this MAC mascara.
It's called Extended Play Lash in Endless Black.
Just going to be applying at least three to four coats of mascara, because I do want this
to be quite a dramatic look.
What I like to do as well is get on top of the lash and pull it through.
So are going on the bottom lashes now.
This mascara is really good for the bottom lashes especially because it's a really small
brush.
Right, so I'm now going to be going on the eyes, and I'm using this really beautiful
cream shadow by Bobby Brown.
It's called Burnish.
Cream shadows are really great, because you can put them on with your finger so they're
easy, and they're also much less likely to crease.
So I'm just putting this over the lid up to the socket line, concentrating most of the
color of the lashes.
Okay, so for the liner I'm going to be using this really cool liner by MAC called Costa
Riche.
I've hardly got any of it left, but it's my favorite liner.
So what I'm going to do is line the whole of the eye, and then smudge it out and then
were going to go over that with black.
Right, so one of the best ways to blend is using the trusty, simple cotton buds, and
that is what we're going to use today.
So you just take the edge, and you just blend blend blend, so it just looks a bit softer
all around the eye.
This is why it doesn't matter if you make any mistakes because you can just take it
away with a cotton bud.
Okay, so to complete the eyes were going to be using this amazing liquid liner in Black
by Clarins.
You have to be really careful with this liner, because it's quite an intense black.
Going to lift the brow just to really get in the lash line and just short feathery strokes.
There you go.
So if you want to use an extra bit of drama to your look, I love these lashes called Lady
In Black.
They're really really cool.
They are corner lashes with little black diamantes in them.
So I'm just using my cotton bud to put on the glue.
I'm just going to place them in the corner of the eyes just like that.
Really easy.
So next time you be doing the lips.
Because this is a really strong lip look, I'm actully going to be using the concealer
that I used before which is the Estée Lauder Double Wear Maximum Coverage.
And just pat the color around the lips like this, just because I want it to be perfect.
I'm going to start with the liner next.
This is a liner by Mac.
It's called Cherry.
What I like to do is put my finger here so I kind of open up the lip line a bit just
so I can get a really perfect shape.
So I'm going to be filling in the lips now.
I'm using this really amazing color called Mac Red.
It's in my makeup artist palette, but you can buy this separately from Mac.
Just using a slightly bigger lip brush just to get a really good coverage.
So you really want to push the color into the lips as much as possible because we want
this lip to be long lasting.
So now on the cheeks, and I'm going to be using Harmony by Mac with my blush brush from
Bobby Brown.
So I'm just applying this under the bone of the cheekbones in circular motions fanning
out the color towards the center of the face but concentrating most of the color at the
outer edge of the cheekbone.
Okay, to set the makeup I'm going to be using Prep and Prime translucent powder by Mac.
So I'm going to apply along the forehead, under the eyes, and around the nose.
What's great about using a translucent powder is that it's really lite and it doesn't sit
in the skin or on any lines.
Right guys, so here we have it, the finished look for today.
