Makeup Fridays

This week was a great week for Kristen with three events, two of which she spent finally promoting Welcome to the Rileys and looking drop-dead-gorgeous whilst doing it. Today’s look is the Scream Awards 2010. If you have any questions about anything makeup/beauty wise. Remember you don’t need to use the exact products I’m using today, anything similar or anything you’re comfortable with will work fine.

FACE

Usual steps apply here. I used a generic Boots foundation brush to apply my foundation. I applied it over my eyebrows but not my lips as I wanted my natural colour to show through. Add powder if you haven’t used the STAY MATTE FOUNDATION as I gave. Next, using a Ruby & Mille blush brush, I applied a medium brown blush underneath my cheekbones.

EYES

After applying the primer, I applied the HALF BAKED colour to the lid and as a liner on the lower lid with a Ruby & Mille eye shadow brush. Next, I applied the TWICE BAKED to the socket and half way across the lower lid and blended the colours using a blending brush. Finally I applied the silver colour from the RIMMEL LONDON palette to the eye lid. Apply quite a lot of this colour as you want it to stand out.

Next, apply liner to the outer halves of both lids and smudge inwards and slightly upwards. Then apply more black liner and smudge it a bit again. Finally apply mascara.

LIPS

Keep it natural and stay towards the pinks.

Makeup Update

Hey guys! I'm so sorry for the lack of videos recently. I've been super busy with deadlines but I'm hoping to have a video for you this weekend. And for all you Emma Watson fans, I'm going to be doing a whole string of videos on her makeup looks from the HP7 promotional whirlwind with the help of Kiki who will be covering the fashion side of things! For those who want to check those videos and fashion breakdowns when they're posted, head over to the Emma Watson Fashion Blog (http://www.emmawatsonfashion.blogspot.com). There are loads of videos I want to do for Emma, unfortunately that means my Kristen videos will be taking a back seat for a while after this week, but we haven't really seen much of Kristen lately apart from Breaking Dawn set pics so I'm hoping you guys won't hate me! Thanks for the concerns,you're all incredibly sweet. I have no idea what I'd do without you! Ok, now I'm getting super cheesy so I'm gonna go. Love you all! Bye!! xxxx

FACE

I started off by mixing a pale foundation with a slightly darker one to make the perfect shade. You don’t have to do this, I’m doing it because the Rimmel foundation is slightly darker than my natural shade and the Gosh foundation is too pale. Since I used a Stay Matte foundation, I don’t need a powder. I also added foundation to the lips and eyebrows as there will be colour going over them. You may use a powder if you wish. Next I added a medium brown blush underneath the cheekbones to create definition.

EYES

After adding the primer I applied YDK to both lids with a fluffy blending brush. Then, using a thin brush I applied the Twice Baked to the top lid as a liner and blended the two existing colours slightly. Finally I added the Midnight Cowboy to the top lid mainly for the sparkle it gives (this is to replicate the sparkle which Kristen wears on her top lid). Next I added black liner to the top waterline and finished the look off with black mascara.

For brows use a dark brown pencil as her brows are quite dark, as most of you will know, there aren’t her natural shade on this particular occasion as she dyed them to match her hair colour. Despite this, I think they went very well with the rest of the look .

LIPS

For lips keep it natural. I used Avon “Luxe Lace” Lipstick in Pout.

Makeup Fridays: Vogue February 2011

Needless to sose an internet connection at University here, you don't get it back for hours! Hopefully this makeay I loved this look although in some pictures there was a little too much photo-shopping, but I think everyone can agree on that! Now on to the look, sorry about the lateness of this but if you ls up for it.

PRODUCTS LIST

Burberry Sheer Foundation No.1

Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in 003 Peach Glow
Bourjois Blush in 85
Too Faced Shadows in "Unmentionables", "Pillow Talk" & "In The Buff"
Avon Supershock Gel Eyeliner in Black
Lancome Hypnose Precious Cells Mascara in Black

FACE
Before applying my foundation I exfoliated and moisturised using Nivea Soft moisturiser. Then using a MAC 190 foundation brush, I applied the foundation over the face, lips and brows. Only after I applied the rest of the makeup did I set the look with a brown blush for contouring purposes and a light powder.

EYES
If you need to apply a primer now to the eyelid. For this you can use the actual colour used on Kristen which was Iridescent Violet by Estee Lauder or you can use a dark, warm brown. Seeing as the colour is not available in the UK I used a brown. I applied it using a regular eyeshadow brush to the eyelid only and blended the shadow upwards only slightly. Then, line the lower lid with a lighter brown. Next to define your eyes even more, apply a black liner to the top lid and blend. Then, once you've done your brows apply a white or creamy white colour under the brow, and apply loads of mascara to the top lashes and not so much to the lower lid.

BROWS
You want to make your brows a very dark, chocolate brown colour. The perfect colour for this is the same shadow I've used for my eyes, "Unmentionables" by Too Faced. It is best to use an angled brush for this.
