Bridesmaid Teen Makeup Look#1

My family and I will attend my cousin's wedding in 3 weeks, and we are all excited. My niece and I are going to be bridesmaids and I'm going to do our makeup of course ^_^. Today, we played with makeup and tested a look that she can maybe wear at the wedding. The first look is a shimmery copper eyes with natural lips. She's only 16 years old and I want her to look like her age as much as possible. Makeup has the ability to change one's feature, so I was very careful on how I apply her makeup. I want her to look beautiful for the wedding, but not make her look old that guys would start hitting on her if you know what I mean...Oh heck no!

face:

Prepped the face with a moisturizer (Yes To Tomatoes Balancing moisturizer) and lightly apply liquid foundation using a wet sponge (MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC42) and blend it all over the face. Set it with a foundation powder (Mark's Powder Buff foundation in Golden) to keep it in place.  

eyes:

Create a dark base by doing a thick line of dark brown (NYX eye pencil in dark brown) starting on the base of the lashes and blend it with q q-tip. Using a wet concealer brush, apply a pinkish copper eye shadow (Wet n Wild Color Icon single eye shadow in Penny) on top of the dark brown base. Wetting the shadow intensifies the color. Blend a soft peach eye shadow on the crease using a fluffy blending brush. Highlight the inner corners of the eyes with a yellow gold shadow (NYX singles eye shadow in Yellow Marigold) and highlight the brow bone with a french vanilla eye shadow. Line the upper lash line with a black eye liner (Physicians Formula eye liner pencil in Black Night) and soften it with a clean q-tip. Apply false lashes (Red Cherry false lashes) to add drama to the eyes. Curl it and apply mascara (NYX Doll Eye mascara).

brows:

Fill in the brows with a soft brown eye shadow using an angled liner brush. I made sure her brows are softer than her natural black hair. 

cheeks:

Dust a soft peach powder blush (Avon Smooth Minerals in Hearty Peach) on the apple of the cheeks and blend it upwards towards the temples 

lips:

Apply a natural lip liner (Wet n wild lip liner in Willow) all over the lips and top it with a shimmery gloss (Stila lip glaze in Kitten)

The main eye shadow I used on the lids is Wet n Wild Color Icon single shadow in Penny. It's such a beautiful color. It's a pinkish copper shade with gold shimmers. It also has a duo-chrome and chameleon-ish quality to it. The shade changes in different lighting and base you use. It's just unique and beautiful.

Everyone loved how the makeup came out. I will test another makeup look on her so watch out for it ^_^

LOOK: Day Time Smokey Copper Eyes

Smokey eyes doesn't always have to be black. You can use whatever color eyeshadow you like to create smokey eyes. Make the color dark and intense starting on the upper lash line and make it fade gradually as it goes up. Also, smokey eyes are not for night time anymore. You can rock smokey eyes during the day by making it subtle and simple like the Smokey Copper eyes for day time that I did. I've been sporting this look at work for a whole week now. It's so easy and simple to do and seriously, anyone can do it.

FOTN: Birfday Look. Coppery Gold and Greens.

Hey readers, thank you so much for the birthday greetings and funny comments on my last post. You guys are awesome! I guess I'll stop complaining about my old age and just enjoy being 25 (ugh, it still makes me cringe when I say that number lol).

Anyway, here is the look I did on my birthday dinner with my boyfriend. I did a very simple and easy look using Coppery Gold and Greens. I really like this look because it is light and it does not compete with the color of my bright dress.

face:
-The Body Shop tea tree anti blemish moisturizer
-Avon Magic Face Perfector as a base
-Cover Girl Clean oil control liquid foundation in Soft Honey all over the face and ears.
-Graftobian Face Corrector concealer using the soft orange under the eyes and topped with a cream highlighter.
-Derma Blend translucent loose powder dusted on top of foundation/concealer to set it.
-Nars blush in Orgasm brushed lightly on the cheeks
-Milani powder mosaic on Afterglow to contour the cheekbones.



eyes:
-Almay Line Smoothing concealer as a base.
-Mark's I-mark e/s in Magic all over the lids
-Milani Shadow Wear quad in Earthly Delight in Gold Green e/s in the inner corners of the eyes and browbone and Antique Gold above the crease.
-Physicians Formula Organic Wear eye liner pencil in Black Olive on the upper and lower lashline.
-Mark's Super Flip e/s in Dare patted on top of the eyeliner and waterline as well.
-Maybelline Great Big Lash mascara


Mark I-mark e/s in Magic, Mark's Super Flip e/s in Dare, Physicians Formula Black Olive, Milani Antique Gold and Gold Green.





lips:

This is my current favorite lipstick. Its a soft nude pink with peach undertone. Sooo pretty! Its a great alternative to a traditional nude lipstick.


Have a great day!!
