Adele Inspired Makeup on My Auntie

My aunt had a wedding to go to, and entrusted her face unto me!!! I had so much fun creating this Adele inspired look.

The key to an Adele-inspired look is a dark cut-crease blending up to a matte browbone highlight. The lid colour should also be light, with a shimmer inner corner and winged eyeliner. I toned down the eyeliner and added some lash inserts here. I went for a nude-pink lip colour that would not overpower the eyes, and I went for a strong cheek contour like Adele has. The whole look is very 60's mod inspired with a modern edge.

Products Used:

Face:
-L'Oreal face primer
-MAC Face and Body Foundation C5
-Laura Mercier Matte Translucent Powder
-Tarte bronzer in Parke Ave. Princess (heavy contour in the hollows of the cheeks, jaw and temples)
-Nars blush in Orgasm
-MAC eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown

Eyes:
-Urban Decay Primer Potion

-MAC eyeshadow in Carbon (matte black etched in the crease, outer corners and lower lashline)

I Return, with Dark Eyes!

I know, I know. And I'm sorry. But I'm back!
Prom is coming up, and I am swamped with clients. Each gorgeous girl has her own taste, and I must cater to everyone. But for those who may not have someone doing your makeup, I will begin posing ideas now.

This also fits into the "ridiculous smoky eyes" category of spring trends in 2012.

Face!!

 Closeups!

Eyes closed

Eye open

Now I forgot what I was dealing with when I departed on this journey of darkness... Carbon eyeshadow from MAC is a deep matte black, and has an odd chalky texture that, when used carelessly, will cause FALLOUT!! NOOO!!! HISS!
So be very cautious of how you use black or dark eyeshadows. Perhaps do all of your eye makeup, clean up your face where eyeshadow may have fallen down, THEN do your face makeup. Silly me!
