How to Pull off the Burlesque look.
Hello.
Welcome to Video Jug.
I’m Jo Adams, celebrity make-up artist.
Today I’m going to show you how to make the perfect pull off the Burlesque look.
A all out Burlesque look is going to be playing with the eyes, playing with the lips; we’re
going to use lots of eye liner, bright pinks, red and it’s just going to be a bit cheeky.
First of all cleanse, tone, and moisturize to prep your skin.
Then we’re going to apply a moisturizer to the skin using a light quick base using
a concealer when needed.
I’m just going to use a brush to apply my base just buffing it in.
I’m just using a nice golden warm color.
That’s it.
I’m going to take a bit over the base of the eyelid to prep the eye area for preparation
for eye makeup later.
I’m just using a bit of concealer where needed.
Just going around the lips; again, just preparing the lips for later.
I’m going to use slightly creamier concealer under the eye area just so it doesn’t get
dried out right under the eye area.
We’re using this brush to really cover the eye using the base right up to the eye and
in the corner as well.
We just need to set this powder.
It’s just a light translucent powder that’s very light and fine just so you don’t get
any creases around the eye area.
I’m just setting the concealer properly.
Just on the T-zone using a powder puff on the areas of the skin and naturally more shinier.
Okay, part of this Burlesque look it’s very important that you keep the eyebrows well
groomed using a small angled brush and a little bit of eyebrow powder.
If you have any gaps or imperfections with your eyebrows this would be the time you’d
be perfecting them.
You can use a pencil to do this but I’d definitely suggest if it’s your first time
definitely go with the powders.
They’re much softer and easier to correct.
If your brush is nice and small you’ll get a nice tapered edge to the eyebrows.
Next that we did the eyebrows we’re going to set them with a clear gel.
Now what this does is help to keep the eyebrows lifted.
Now the Burlesques eyes and what we’re going to do with the eye shadow.
What we’re going to do a nice clean neutral eye shadow with a tiny bit of eye liner.
We’re mainly going to concentrate on getting fab-on eyeliner.
I’m just going to use natural color eyeliner.
Brush all over the eye lid.
Just cleans it up.
Makes it all the same tone.
Then using a shimmer highlight just under the brow and by applying it all under the
brow you would again join attention to lovely neat brows.
Again it’s neat to have that kind of look.
Now I’m going to use a taupe kind of color for the socket line.
I’m not really making it a color or anything just scalp the eye shape just a little bit.
Just want to do that in the socket line a little bit.
It’s very soft.
You get a little bit of shadow in the eyes with the eyeliner.
I definitely recommend starting off doing the perfect line before liquid eyeliner so
you get the definition of the liquid.
So I’m going to tart that with a pencil.
So I’m drawing the pencil next to the eye lashes and using an angled brush.
Close your eyes just hold that line out.
Make it nice and smooth.
Don’t forget the forty star flecks on the edge.
What I’m going to do while she looks in the mirror.
I need to place the brush where you want line to be as a template.
Now I’m just joining that together with my original line.
I’m just using just your basic eyeliner, not a smudgy one.
I’m just using it to perfect the eye shape.
Don’t be afraid to pull that eyeliner out, really really out.
That’s finished in pencil.
Now I just need to go over that with liquid.
This is just a black liquid liner with a nice fine tip.
You don’t need to go over the whole line bottom to top.
I’m just going to apply a little bit of bronzer to sculpt the face.
There’s lots of different types of bronzer; there’s mat bronzer, there’s shimmer bronzer,
sparkly type bronzer it’s got slightly different colors in it, it’s got pink in it slightly
darker brown and it’s got a little bit of sparkle.
I think a little mixture of everything is always nice.
Okay now I’m going to apply a little bit of powder blush.
This is to give myself a base for cream blush.
Once I’ve applied the cream blush the color from the cream blush will be more intense
but you’ll have the softness of the powder around the edges making it look quite controlled.
So, I’m just going to take my cream blush on your hand to warm it up a little bit.
You can check how much product you actually have got.
I use one finger to apply and another to blend.
Okay the eyes are pretty dry now.
Now I’m just applying mascara zigzag pattern to cover eyelashes.
Use mascara to coat in between eyelashes.
I’m going slightly on top as well.
It gives them more depth more volume all the mascara on the bottom of the lashes.
Now this is the same highlighter.
I’m just putting it underneath the eyes using highlighter under eyes to
catch light.
We’re just going to apply some white eyeliner on inner rims to widen eyes.
The ultimate accessory has to be for burlesque has to be the eyelashes.
I’m just trimming these a little bit your eyes perfectly.
Just so they fit our models eye perfectly.
It’s going to put these eyelashes on with a little bit of glue.
These are applied right to the base of the lashes rather than onto the edge of your eyelid.
The eyelashes are attached on a strip but sometimes use a coat of eyeliner over that
strip to blend eyelashes.
To finish off this we need to do the lips.
So I’m going to use nice pink eyeliner.
I’m just going to go over the lip shape maybe just exaggerate it a tiny bit of the
top of the lips.
Now I’m going to apply nice lip-gloss to aid accuracy.
Definitely advisable when you’re when using lighter shades.
Anything goes really, the brighter the better.
Okay, the final thing I’m going to do is little bit of glitter to this lip.
What I’m doing is going to use glittery mascara to act as a glue for glitter shaking
the brush first getting any access off.
Apply by pressing glitter onto the mascara.
It’s not going to fall down.
It will stay put all night.
And it will give you a little bit of glitz.
