Tutorial - New Vintage

Tutorial - New Vintage

Inspired by Water For Elephants, starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson, Katie shows how to recreate this sultry, vintage look.

 

I start this fabulous vintage makeup look by applying a thick and even foundation base. For this I use Stick Foundation ($11.95) because it provides a perfect non-oily/non-shiny finish.

 

To define my eyebrows I take Colour Max Eyeshadow Jasper ($9.45) and with small brush strokes I apply it to the brow.

 

For gorgeous rosy cheeks I use Outback Primrose Blush ($9.45) and apply it softly to the apples of my cheeks.

 

Now for the eyes, I use Black Eye Definer ($7.45) to shade in the outer 3rd of both eyelids.

 

I then use a blending brush to smudge the liner, which will give the eye a sultry smoky effect.

 

Using Black Liquid Eye Liner ($8.95) I carefully draw a thick black line along the base of the top lashes, starting from the outer edge to create the wing, and finishing in at the tear duct.

 

To give a bit more highlight to the eye I use a medium size brush to apply Colour Max Eyeshadow Pearl ($9.45) just beneath the highest part of the brow bone.

 

To finish off the eyes I darken, lengthen and curl my lashes with Glamorous Lashes Mascara Black ($10.95). False eyelashes are an optional extra, depending on how dramatic you'd like this look to be :)

 

Finally, I line my lips using Red Mechanical Lip Liner ($9.95), and fill them in with Lip Quench Lipstick Power Surge ($9.45) for a glamorous full pout.

 

Then it's done!
