WHAT DOES BEAUTY MEAN TO YOU?

"As I have gotten older I have realised that beauty is definitely more about how you feel than how you look. Makeup can be a great tool for giving you that little extra bit of confidence."




ELLE'S MUST-HAVES


Friday Night Glam
CREATE THE LOOK
FRIDAY NIGHT GLAM

Who said you can’t have a stand out eye and lip?

STEP 1: I started with my eye makeup first so as not to get any fallout on my skin. I used brown down eyeshadow to really smoke out my crease for extra drama on my base.

STEP 2: Next I used ‘starry night’ from the art library it’s designer eyeshadow palette and pressed it with my finger onto my eyelid for a beautiful shine.

STEP 3: I then decided to go for the 86 opportunist lash, once I had the first pair stuck down I took another pair of the same lashes and cut them in half. I then used the shorter end of the lash and stuck them in the centre to create the fullest most fluttery lashes. Now that my eyes are complete I can start on my skin.

STEP 4: I have been loving the prolongwear nourishing foundation recently as I find it lasts an incredibly long time on my skin. I wear the shade NC27. To sculpt my cheeks I always love to reach for matte bronze as it is the perfect colour and texture for me.

STEP 5: I wanted to add a little touch of natural looking glow to my cheekbones and so used the tiniest bit of hush cream colour base to achieve this.

STEP 6: I have naturally thick eyebrows so I brushed some of the eyebrows big boost fibre gel in the shade brunette through them just to give them a fluffy appearance.

STEP 7: Since this is a glam weekend night out look I thought I would make a statement on my eyes and lips so I used the new love me liquid lipstick in the gorgeous red shade adore me. To sharpen up my lip I used the lip liner ruby woo to touch up.

MY GO-TO GLAM

Bronzed skin, fluffy brows, winged eyeliner and glossy lips- my favourite type of look.

STEP 1: I started off by using prolongwear nourishing foundation as my base, find your shade here. I love using the NW shades of studio fix concealer to conceal the purple tones under my eyes.

STEP 2: Dark Tan mineralise skinfinish powder is great for adding a natural bronze around the outside of my face. To highlight my cheekbones I used the stunning 'soft and gentle' mineralise skinfinsh to lighten the middle

STEP 3: Spiked Brow styler is so thin and precise it works the best for filling in the gaps in my eyebrows.I used a mixture of both the matte and shimmer shades available in the burgundy X9 eyeshadow palette and glitter pigment


STEP 4: 76 lashes are my favourite lightweight pair.

STEP 5: I finished off the look by doing my lips starting off with chestnut lip liner and then added down to an art matte lipstick. For the final step I added some lipglass.

STEP 1: since I was going for such a bold eye look I wanted to have a matte base so started off by usingstudio fix fluid is the one I always reach for as I can use it no matter if I have tan on or when I am my natural colour, followed by MAC translucent powder .

STEP 2: Next I added some definition to the skin using Matte Bronze . I wanted to add a little touch of highlight to the high points of my face and so decided to use hush cream colour base.

STEP 3:I used Art Library: It's designer and Glitter Pigment in silver. To make the blue eye deeper I went in withStormwatch eyeshadow.


STEP 4: Stripdown is probably my most used MAC lip liner. I wanted a subtle Ip colour so that I didn't distract from the eye look and so decided to go for the beautiful shade Creme Cup. Once again I finished off my look by adding sparkly lipglass to give a fuller lip effect.

STEP 2: To add warmth to my cheeks I love to use peaches blush. Give me Sun is a lovely warm bronze to add round the face and through the crease of the eye.

STEP 3: The semi-sweet palette was perfect for building up my eyeshadow colours and adding a smokey winged eyeliner. Nylon eyeshadow is the most beautiful eyeshadow to brighten the inner corners of your eyes. I finished the eyes off with 89 megastar lashes


STEP 4: I never do a red lip without adding prep and prime lip. To complete the look I went in with lip pencil in cherry and love me liquid lipcolour in yeah i'm fancy
