I loveeee Christina Aguilera's makeup on the voice! Well, most of it anyway.
This is a classic retro golden eye with a red lip. I absolutely LOVE how red lips look on me; I don't wear them enough.
Inspiration photo:
I will say that I do not love every aspect of this makeup. I feel like the cheek contouring is a bit much for her face shape, and the lip colour could have been applied more smoothly. But I love the concept of gold smoky eyes with a cut-crease and cat-liner, paired with a red lip. Bear in mind I look nothing like her, and my skin-tone is much more yellow-toned.
When doing stage makeup, take into consideration the fact that bright lights will be shining on you. You may need to re-sculpt the features of your face because lights can wash them out.
You can do this by subtly tracing along the sides of your nose with a touch of bronzer, contouring your cheekbones, temples and jawline, and a touch under the bottom lip.
Keep your skin matte and use a slightly shimmery pale highlight down the bridge of the nose and tops of cheekbones and on top of the cupid's bow to accentuate those features.
This is the makeup I wore to my school talent show. I took these photos after a 14-hour day of rehearsal, then work, then rehearsal, then my show. Woot! Hooray for makeup that sort of kind of lasts! I did NOT reapply lip colour at all. And I couldn't find my gold glitter: Sugarpill's Goldilux, which I used on
Pooja.
Moving on... :)
