Make Up Fridays

Welcome to today's Make Up Friday! Today @kstewemmakeup will be showing you how to recreate Kristen's David Letterman look from June 2010. There is nothing to report apart from the wonderful Amy Adams and Viggo Mortensen joining the 'On the Road' casting. The cast for this movie is so impressive, i can not wait to see it brought to life. For now i hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, check back Monday for another 'who wore it better?' post.

It’s important to remember that the colours I’ve used are lighter than the colours used on Kristen as they are the best I could get. However, the same basic steps apply.

FACE
Apply foundation in a semi-thick layer. Make sure it gives you good coverage. To help with this use a foundation brush. Apply foundation from your forehead to your jaw making sure to blend here very well. Then apply powder in a light layer. Add a highlighting formula to your cheek bones if you do not own the Avno foundation I have used. Your face must have a glow to it. Then apply a light coloured bronzer to your temples, cheekbones and jaw line. Make sure it’s a light layer. Make it subtle.


EYES
After applying the usual primer, apply a teal coloured eye liner in a thick line to your lash line. Then taking a thin brush, blend and smudge the colour upwards. Then taking the thin brish again, apply the lightest shade of teal to your eye lid only. Then using the same brush take a medium shade of teal to outline the sockets. Then taking the darkest teal apply and blend the colours with a fluffy blending brush. Then apply mascara and you’re done with your eyes.


LIPS
Put a bit of foundation on your lips as a base, then apply a natural nude colour of lip gloss. Or a nude lipstick and add clear gloss to make it shine.

Make Up Friday

Happy Friday everyone, it’s ‘Make Up Friday’ time again and today the wonderful Maria will be showing you how to recreate Kristen's fresh and minimal look from the Eclipse Rome Photo call.

You also may have noticed a lack of updates this week due to me moving to a new city, i promise this won’t last for much longer. I’m happily acquainting myself with my new surroundings and should be fully settled into a routine soon.

NOTE: For tutorials you do not need the exact make up @kstewemmakeup uses, similar colours from any brand you feel comfortable using will do.

FACE
Usual steps apply for foundation and powder. Add a little moisturiser before you put on your foundation to provide a better base. Apply powder to the jaw line, nose, chin and forehead.

EYES
After applying a primer, apply the “Midnight Cowboy” to the eyelid and lower lid. If you are using this exact colour be careful as there is A LOT of glitter! Next apply the “Twice Baked” colour to the sockets. Don’t use too much of this colour. Next, just blend the colours. Then apply liner to the top lid in a thin line and smudge the liner a bit. You can also add liner to the bottom lid but very lightly and smudge the line a little.

The usual steps for eyebrows apply also. First brush out the brows then add colour where it’s needed. Then add a thin layer of the clear mascara to hold the hairs in place. Then add mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

LIPS
For lips, just add a clear, nude or pale pink lip gloss or lip balm. Just remember to keep it natural.
