Makeup (African Editorial) : What I used

Hey everyone! :D
Here's hoping y'all are doing fab :)
As usual, we'll pretend like nothing happened and get right into...... Makeup!

So this is something I see some artists do, give a full listing of the products they use for a particular look. I think its a pretty cool thing to do. Thought to join the bandwagon cause I know I've learnt a lot from other artists.

Hehe! You gon' learn today..

Model: Grace

I love the colours of this makeup. This is what I do when I'm not too sure of what colours to use, you'll always be safe with browns golds blacks.... They'd fit any colour of outfit.
I'm really not a makeup matchy-matchy person, well that's if I have to decide what to do for clients though. These days, clients go hard LOL! They even bring photos of how they want to look.

Here's Graycee's Editorial Makeover and what I used









Face

Primer: Smashbox Photofinish foundation primer
Foundation: Revlon colorstay in 'Toast'
Powder: Tara powder in (I think 50)
Bronzer: Tara bronzer in Light
I contoured with the BH cosmetics Blush and contour palette
Highligted with L.A girl PRO concealer in the shade "fawn", Ben Nye in the shade banana and Basic Highlighter and rouge
Blush: Bobbi Brown blush in Coral

Eyes
 

Brows: MAC spiked brow pencil
Eyeshadow base: NYX jumbo pencil in milk
Eyelid: Anastasia Beverly Hills duo eyeshadow 'Illuminate' from the "See and be Seen" kit
The brown from the Tara trio shadow 'ovialeke' and MAC's  Black tied where used to cut the crease and the eyelid shadow from Wet'n wild 34166 palette was used to highlight the brow bone and blend the crease into the highlight.
Waterline: NYX jumbo pencil was used,
Maybelline kajal was used to line just outside the waterline
Lashes : Maybelline mascara was used on both top and bottom lash, then Elf dramatic false lash was used on the top lash.


Lips
I used two shades of Wet'n wild lipsticks
Cherry bomb (918D) for the sides of the lip, sort of like a liner
Sugar plum fairy (906C) for the inner part of the lip and blended


Holla, I'll be glad to answer any questions.
 
MMMMMMMMMMMMWAHHH!!!
Bemi.
