FOTD - Lady Gaga Esq Look - Even the MUA's get it wrong!

 My best friend George came around today and he wanted me to do a 'Lady Gaga Esq' look. Now, I have a pretty good camera, but, why is it that makeup always look so much better in person than when you put it on film? Due to this reason, I may have to revisit this look because I am not happy with the final product at all!

The wonderful no make-up shot :)

Brushes used From Left to Right:

Royal and Lagnickle C401

OCC Angle Brush #009

Benefit Angled Liner Brush

OCC Large Powder Brush #001

E.L.F Foundation Brush

Smashbox Crease Brush #10

OCC Foudation Brush #002

I started with the eyes, creating the line with the Loreal Studio Secrets Pencil in 590 Black. Once I was happy with the shape, I applied the same liner all over the lid and, then, patted in Urban Decay's Oil Slick using Brush C401. Once I was happy with the eyeshape and colour, I applied concealer from Yaby, in shade Vanilla (cc013), using the E.L.F brush and Sephora Tinted Moisuriser in Medium 26 Peach, using OCC #002 Brush. (I will do another blog about why I use this Foundation choice)

 

 

 I applied Benefit eyebrow wax from the Smokin' Eye Palette and Smashbox Bionic Mascara, in Jet Black, to the upper and lower lashes. I then set the skin with Yaby Loose Setting Powder using OCC #001 Brush. Using the Smashbox crease brush, I applied PF091 from the Yaby Finishing Touch palette, to contour my cheeks and then using the same brush and palette, I applied PF089, as a highlighter. I took the OCC #001 Brush again and blended the highlighter and bronzer and then applied Yaby Blush in BL022. I finished the look by applying OCC Liptar in Divine using my finger.

And here you have the finished look which failed hugely :(

FOTD

The lovely Vicky my little sisters friend agreed to be a part of the blog and allow me to give her a make-over.


Our Vicky regularly wears foundation which as I scream at her is too dark for her very fair skin and thick black eyeliner like Amy Winehouse.

Vicky has problematic skin and never goes without her make-up so I wanted to create a more natural everyday look for her.





For this look I used:


Face:
Smashbox Primer
Chanel Vitalumiere number 10
Yaby blush BL015
Yaby Cream Concealer in buff


Eyes and Brows:
Yaby Pearl Paint - PP040 Cappucino, PP080 First Snow and PP048 Chocolate Smoothie
Smashbox Brow Tech in Brunette
Benefit Bad Gal Mascara
Benefit Brow Set in Dark


Lips:
Mac Tinted Lip Conditioner (shade to be confirmed)

In person the end result is not quite as strong but I do have a crappy camera!


I went for a very natural smokey eye to bring out Vicky's beautiful green eyes.


I hope you like it as much as Vicky did :)
