Hi I'm Pallavi Symons, your makeup expert with Glamrs.com
and I'm going to show you in a few simple steps how to achieve a beautifully glamorous and
really luxurious looking cocktail evening look.
So basically what we decided to go with today was to keep the skin as natural as possible
and I'm going to go in with a foundation that's quite close to that natural texture.
Using a stippling brush I'll start right there and just work the product into her
skin and as you can see the texture of this foundation is really moist.
Make sure you have an even application right across the face along the nose.
I'm going to use a bit of concealer on Diana's eyes and her under eyes,
I'm not going too go heavy with this either it's just a bit under her eyes to remove the shadows.
Blend off with a blending brush
and now for a bit just on her eyelids as well.
Now once that concealing is done I'm just going in with a bit of powder,
I'm just going to dust the under eyes and her eyes, middle of her forehead and
literally swipe it across her face.
Now I'm going to get on with the eyes,
just going to groom her eyebrows, use an angular brush but what I'm doing here is
just creating more defined brows.
I'm going to get on with the eye makeup
To start with I'm going to use a base this is a multi-purpose base and you get them
in a host of beautiful colors from Mac I'm going to use 'Hush'.
Take a tiny amount just so you get a little bit of tak on the eyelid and wash it across the eyelid,
a bit of it on your tear duct is where.
Now I'm going to shape this product across her face where I want highlights.
I'm gonna use the head of this, again a very tiny amount of this and start with your collarbones,
put shimmer on her shoulders, very small amounts of it on the cheekbone,
going into the temple but not too far out because that'll change the shape of her features
and a bit on the upper lip as well, gets a nice pout from it
tad bit on the bridge of the nose.
I'm going to do a brown smokey eye using this gel eyeliner by M.A.C, it's called 'Dipdown'.
Take a good amount and almost carelessly sweep it right across your
eyelid into no particular shape, soften it and see how it goes.
Quickly blending it in with a blending brush and towards the brow bone and you immediately see
that the color itself is quite a sultry brown.
I'm just using this color at the bottom lash line as well.
We're going to use quite a thick blending brush and soften that too.
What I'm gonna do is I'm using a multi Brown, it's by Revlon Color Stay
and the palette is called 'Adventurous'.
Take a dot of that metallic brown on a smudging brush and sweep it across the lower lash line.
So to get on with the eye shadow on the lids I'm going to use two colors by
Inglot's Freedom System,
swing the color across her eyelids,
whatever is remaining on the brush just kind of work it into her brow so you get a nice dusky looking eye.
Again I'm going to use one of my favorite makeup tricks, I think it's part
of almost all my bridal makeups particularly or cocktail looks and this
one being a cocktail look, so the girls here at the Glamrs studio were quite
useful, resourceful and they found this product called scandalized by Rimmel
which is really cool eye shadow in a pencil form. So I'm just going to dot
that and just blend it off with my finger on her tear duct.
Just working it towards her lash line a bit, on the lower lash line.
I'm just going to quickly curl her lashes and I'm gonna use a mascara over
this, I'm not fussing too much on this because I'm gonna put false eyelashes as well.
So her false lashes are done so now I'm going to take the mascara and
reapply it so I can blend her false line with her natural lashes and then enhance
the bottom lashes as well.
I'm gonna proceed to her cheeks I'm going to use a
color very close to Diana's skin color it's a Body Shop bronzer so I'm just
going along her bone and I'm just going to finish off with a little blush and
highlighter. So I'm choosing to do the highlighter first everywhere that I had
used cream before not to bring the whole texture and story together I'm going to
use a really soft mineral finish blush so a sweep of that ever so gently,
blending the highlighter and bronzer. Now what I'm going to do before I go with
the lipstick is separate the mattes from the sheen so again reiterate where you
want the skin not to shine. So to finish this look off I'm going to do her lips
in a really nice fleshy plum color just kind of line her lips so I'm just going
to work the color in very softly.
Again quite carelessly applying the lipstick without really drawing lines or
painting in and to finish this look off I'm going to use Maybelline's gloss just
going to do a small dab of that gloss in the center of her mouth. So that wraps up
our Bridal cocktail look and as you can see
Diana's looking resplendent and beautiful and dewy and natural and all
of those things that most brides actually aspire to look like!
