Party Makeup Tutorial

Christmas party season is here already! My studio gets very busy in December with makeovers and winter weddings. In this post I wanted to put together a look for the party season using some new makeup that I received from Debenhams. I will also do a review on these products when I have used them for a few weeks so keep a look out.

1. I started the eyes first. I used some micro tape to give me a sharp line. I used NYX pencil in milk to give me a base for the eyeshadows and to pop out the colours. I also added some colour to Chloe’s brows using Ardell pomade in dark brown.

 2.  I applied from the too faced semi sweet chocolate bar palette- blueberry swirl on to the lids and slightly above winging it onto the edges. I used Zoeva eyeshadow brush 234 to pack the colour on. I then added mousse on the crease using my 221 brush from Zoeva.

3. From the same palette I applied Rum raisin and then peanut butter onto the upper crease with a Zoeva brush no.228. I also blended this out to the edges to create a wing. I then deepened the crease with puddin from this pallette.

4. I then switched to another Zoeva brush no. 226 to add in the light colour- butter pecan mixed with a little coconut creme. This was added under the eyebrows and in the inner corners.

5. I then added the eye liner. I used Illamasqua gel liner in infinity and winged it out at the edges.

6. I then added  Max factor volume million lashes mascara to define the eyes. I used Ardell lashes in Demi whispies and Duo glue. I then added The foundation with a Zoeva bamboo brush 104. The foundation was Giorgio Armani luminous silk in shade 03.

7. I then added concealer to Chloe’s under eyes and around her nose with Nars radiant creamy concealer in vanilla. I then used Illamsaqua gel liner under Chloe’s eyes and smoked it out with blueberry swirl and a Zoeva 237 brush.

8. I used Nars “larger than life” longwear eyeliner in black on the waterline.

9. I used Smashbox contour sticks to define Chloe’s cheekbones and forehead. i blended them with a Blend it sponge ( sold in our studio).

10.  I powdered the skin using Mac prep and prime to set the foundation and concealer. To end I added Chanel rouge allure velvet lipstick in the colour La maliceuse. I didn’t add a lip pencil as I wanted it to look soft. After looking at the finished makeup, I decided to add another flick using Illamasqau gel liner in infinity to give it some more glamour.

Brands I used:

Chanel, Mac, Illamasqua, Nars, Giorgio Armani, Too faced, Ardell, Max factor and Motives.
