Hi honeys, and welcome back to Make Me Up. I'm Hollie Wakeham and this week I have got
something very exciting in store for you. I am going to show you just how to create
this amazing, beautiful, signature look that Taylor Swift wear with the beautiful red lips,
perfect looking skin, and just the perfect amount of eye shadow, so that you do not go
too overboard.

Okay so Taylor Swift is definitely known for her dewy complexion and especially through
the winter months this is going to help. This is my Mac Strobe Cream it is really nice and
moisturizing, but it is also pearlescent so you literally look illuminated from within.
So I'm just going to pop this in with my fingertips.
And you will feel this good on your skin babes. And you will just feel nice and hydrated.
So it acts like a moisturizer, as well as a little bit of a primer under the foundation.
And you will see wearing this alone just sort of gives that illuminated look. For foundation
I am going to be using the Beautifully Matte by Number 7. This is going to work really
perfect for this skin. It is SPF 15 as well and it is hypoallergenic. So I am just going
to put a little bit of this onto my fluffy foundation brush and then just pop this onto
the skin evenly. And now I am just going to buff and work that in around. So you want
to make sure because Taylor's skin is really, really flawless. She does not get a lot of
breakouts or anything like that, so even though we want to look quite naturally dewy, we still
want to have a nice even coverage that will be covering all of the little imperfections
on our face.
So we are just going to buff that as well over the eye lids. This is just going to take
out any discoloration and make it nice and matte.
Okay, so now we have applied the foundation, I am going to set that with my powder. we
are going to be using this Stay Matte Pressed Powder by Rimmel with a large fluffy brush.
And all I am going to do is just swirl the brush into the powder and lightly dust over
the areas that are going to get a little bit too shiny.
So, we are going to go n top of the forehead, around the nose area. This area will naturally
get quite shiny because it is where we produce quite a lot of oils. And around the chin as
well. We still want to keep this area here a little bit illuminated. And then we can
just powder over the eyes which just gives a really nice base for our eye shadows to
sit on.
Now I am going to be using my Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer and I love this one because
it just cancels out any redness. It sort of acts as a concealer for the eyes, but it also
going to make all the eye shadow stay on and it is not going to crease. You can go out
partying and even at work and you are not going to be worried that your eye shadow has
disappeared or run down your face.
So for eyeshadow I am going to go in with the Rimmel, and this is the Glam Ice because
Taylor Swift has quite a powerful red lip, that is what she is known for. We are going
to go with a nice, icy with a slight contour in the eye.
So what sort of make up to do you wear when you go out?
Just basic foundation and mascara and red lipstick.
Oh, do you? So you are used to wearing this red lipstick like Taylor Swift, then. Yes.
So you don't ever wear any eyeshadow?
Well just sometimes, but not really. Not lots.
Well this will be a nice one for you to try, you'll have to watch the video back and see
what sort of eyeshadows, it is really easy. It just makes the red lip pop more, I find.
You do not want to go too overboard with this, we are just keeping this to a nice light wash.
And we are just going to pop a little of this up by the brow bone as well to highlight and
lift the eye.
Okay, so we are going to go in with a nice crease, so this I am going to be using my
Urban Decay 2 Palette. I love this palette, it is definitely a go to for me. I'm going
to be using the color Tease because Taylor Swift is a little tease.
So this is just going to help the eye look a little bit more 3 D and give it some depth.
And then literally just where you have got your natural crease, you just want to sweep
the brush backwards and forwards very lightly and as you can see the color is already starting
to build.
So all I am doing now, if you look and open your eye and look straight into the mirror,
and then this is where you want the darkest bits to be. So you can literally see where
the crease is. Because sometimes when you close your eyes, you sort of lose where the
natural crease is.
Open for me babe.
So you can just wiggle that brush backwards and forwards when the eye is open.
So in the video we are never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever getting back together,
Taylor wore a beautiful black winged eyeliner. It makes sure the eye does not get lost because
it is quite white, so for this I am going to be using Illamasqua Precision Ink and I
am in love with this eyeliner. It is fairly new to me but as soon as I used it, it just
felt right.
It is in the blackest color they do and you get this beautiful, almost felt tip very,
very thin nib. So all we are going to do is just pull the eye taught slightly and starting
from the outer corner we are just going to do little light sweeping motions, or however
you feel most comfortable.
And we are just going to line the eyelid. There are lots of different ways of putting
on liquid eyeliner, you just have to do what you feel is most comfortable. And do not forget
practice makes perfect.
So now the eyeliner is done so now we are going to quickly curl her eyelashes and then
add some lashings and mascara. So I am using the Tweezerman eyelash curlers. You are just
going to pull the eyelid up and pop the eyelash curler where you feel comfortable and we are
just going to squeeze them shut and as we do so we are just going to push the eyelashes
inwards. That way, you are not going to pull and out and it is not going to hurt and you
are not going to get scared. Now I am going to be adding lashings and mascara. I am going
to be using No 7 Lash Adapt and this is for building up volume, so we are going to get
loads of volume out of this mascara.
So what you want to do is just wiggle the brush on the roots and then just as you are
coming towards the end of the lashes, flick the brush up. This way you are going to create
lots of length and coat every single lash. The closer you get to the lash line, the blacker
and inkier the eyelashes are going to look. Okay so now we are just popping the mascara
onto the bottom lashes and I've just got my model to look down with her head but look
up with her eyes, and that way we are not going to get any mascara on the skin. By putting
mascara on the bottom lashes you are going to really open the eye up as well.
Okay honeys, so do not panic if you get mascara on the lower lid of the eyes. Just use a handy
little Q tip or you can normally call these cotton buds, and then just slowly and gently
rub away any bits that you have got under the eye.
So we are not going to be using any false eyelashes for this look because Taylor Swift
has a very natural eye. What we are going to do though is just prep the lips. Now, we
have got quite dry lips have we? Probably because it is winter and we get really dry
lips in winter. So before we go putting on the lipstick I'm going to just add a little
bit of a lip balm and I am in love with this one. It is the Lip Jao, J A O, I think that's
how you say it, and it sort of smells like aniseed, but it is really nice and very moisturizing.
So I am just going to pop this onto a cotton bud, if you have your own at home you can
just do it straight from the lip balm.
And I am just going to pop this all over the lips. And this is just going to help the lipstick
and the makeup look smooth, rather than sitting in all the cracks and sitting in the dry skin.
When doing a red lip you want to make sure it is absolutely perfect. So this is one of
my favorite red lip sticks and I would probably say that most artists in the makeup industry
would definitely agree that this is their favorite red lipstick. It is Mac and it is
called Rubywood.
And it is a beautiful red with an undertone of blue so it is a cool cherry red. But the
reason this is quite different is because it contains clay and that means it is a matte
lipstick which in turn means it is going to stay on all day, even when Taylor is kissing
all of those hot, hunky, celebrity men.
So what we are going to do, I am going to use this beautiful brush. This is actually
an angle brush and it is an eyebrow brush and it is by Ilamasqua, but the bristles are
so smooth and compact that it gives the most beautiful, flawless and perfect line to the
lip. So don't be afraid to mix up your brushes, I am always doing that.
So first of all I am just worried about getting color onto the lip, so don't go anywhere near
the lip line. Just focus purely on the inside of the lip. If you did not have dry lips you
would not have had to put on the balm first, I just did it because we have quite dry lips,
have not we babes?
So we are going to go right in the corner and we want to try and keep a steady hand
as you can. And I often find doing short little strokes is better than doing on big long one
because then it can go a bit wobbly.
So that is the lips perfected, and don't worry is you want to eat and drink. Because the
Rubywood does have clay in it you can still do that, so it is not going to come off on
anything.
So now I am going to go in with a slight bronzer, just a bit on the cheek, because Taylor does
have a bit of definition there. So for this I am going to be using my Fake Bake Bronzer.
I love this one and look at the front it is all vajazzled. It has slightly got very, very
small crushed shimmery gold sparkles but it is not glitter, so it just makes you look
nice and dewy still. I am using a chiseled cheek brush by Crown so that all we are going
to do is just in circular motions, swirl it up, sort of naturally where the shadow sits,
where you would probably put your contour, and I am just going to slightly, ever so gently
bring it up onto the cheek.
Straight away that just looks more defined. Because if not, if you do not put any warmth
onto the cheeks and you have got quite a pale complexion then coupled with the white eye
shadow and the bright red lips, you can look a little bit pasty.
So we just want to bring a little bit of warmth to the cheek, but without having blusher.
And that just compliments the white, it makes the eyes pop and also blends in with the lips
as well.
Okay so then we are going to highlight the cheek bone because Taylor does have that slight
shine. I am going to be using my Lightscapade by Mac. This is a very cool silver with little
flecks of like a blue tone and I am going to be using a little fluffy highlighter brush
by Crown. And I am just going to tap it on, very controlled, onto the bone here.
And as you can see already, that is highlighted because Taylor's look can be quite glam as
well as being natural.
And then all I am going to do is just sweep that down the center of the nose.
That is just going to slim and elongate the nose just slightly. I am just going to tap
as well, just onto the cupid's bow and it is going to make the lip pop.
Now we are going to go onto brows and I am just going to use this little brow comb, or
eyelash comb, and I am just going to brush through the eyebrows just to see naturally
where they want to sit.
And just so we can see the shape and now you have got beautiful shaped eyebrows already,
so we have not got to do too much work.
I am going to be using my brow palette by HD Brows. This one is in the color of bombshell
and it is perfect for all blondes and fair haired girls. I am just going to fill in the
areas and sweep the product through where it is needed.
Okay honeys, so we have completely transformed Susanna into Taylor Swift, better looking
though.
We have gone for this beautiful white, shimmery eyes with a beautiful flicked eyeliner. We
have left those lashes alone because sometimes less is more. A beautiful chiseled cheek,
a little bit of a bronzer and a highlighter with that very overpowering strong pouty red
lip. So now all that is left to do is show Susanna what she looks like.
Okay Susanna?
Oh my god, it is perfect! You are amazing!
