"What's this?" you're asking. "Two looks in one day? Isn't that taking procrastination to an extreme?"
Well, yes, but it's been a while since I've used someone else as a canvas for my artistry... but my friend - we'll call her Kate, though that's not her name - texted me and asked if I'd do her makeup for an event this evening. Since the other option was writing an essay, I quickly agreed.
The Occasion: a black-tie drinks event
The Outfit: a brown lace dress (gorgeous!), teal-green pumps, and a green-and-gold scarf
The Objective: evening makeup with definition and class, but nothing too dark or dramatic (aka the challenges of working with pale red-heads when you're a pale brunette!)
For the eyes, I used MAC shadows in Honesty (outer half of lid), Naked Lunch (inner half of lid), and Femme-Fi (browbone & blending), and Bobbi Brown metallic shadow in Bash (crease, and upper lashline), and finished off with a coat of BuxomLash mascara.
A swipe of MAC blush in The Perfect Cheek across her enviable cheekbones was followed up with a dusting of BE Mineral Veil over the whole face, and on her lips I used a lip brush to apply MAC lipstick in Lovin' It and Global Goddess Moroccan Mystique lip veil in Casbah.
And would you believe she's not wearing *any* foundation or concealer? I'm having a hard time concealing my jealousy!
Better lighting in this picture, I think - even with the fire-alarm and my notice board in the background...
And lastly, a quick snap of artist and victim before "Kate" headed off to her soirée!
It's a bit blurry, but it still doesn't disguise the fact that I have, arguably, the ugliest draperies in the world. And there's nothing I can do about it.
Anyway, hope you've enjoyed this little experiment, and thanks for reading!
