Emma Watson inspired tutorial

Todays look is about 2 weeks old!I keep forgetting to post it.  I took inspiration from both Emma Watson's makeup worn to the HP premier in NYC and the recreation look done by one of my favourite beauty gurus on Youtube - Misschievous.  I hope you like the look!





Face:

Mac Studio Finish concealor
NYC Bronzer

Eyes:

120 palette from ebay - matte black e/s and the yellowey gold
Mac Technakohl eyeliner
Mac opulash mascara

Lips:

Mac Ample Pink plushglass

Howto:

  • Prime the eyes with a primer prior to eyeshadow application
  • Apply a matte black eyeshadow to the outer half of your eyelid going into the crease
  • Apply a yellow toned gold eyeshadow to the remaining half of the lid and blend the yellow and black together to avoid any harshness.
  • Use a skin coloured eyeshadow to blend out any harsh lines under the brown bone.
  • Using a black gel liner or kohl pencil, colour in your waterline and tightline and apply mascara.
  • Apply foundation and concealor as normal (i didnt use foundation as it was way too hot outside) and a small amount of bronzer to the cheekbones for some warmth to the face.
  • Apply a pink lipgloss and voila!
