She's a star makeup look

       For my last look I decided to do the "She's a star" look from the Lauren Luke Looks book.

For this look I used:
-The 24K Nudes
-Revlon photo ready foundation     
-The falsies volume mascara
-e.l.f eyeliner pen
-e.l.f eyeshadow brush
-e.l.f blending brush
                                        















This look can be totally customizable, you can either do this look step by step or change the colors, skip steps. You don't have to exactly do what I did. Makeup is a was to express yourself, so add a little bit of yourself to this look.

      The first thing I did was prime my eyelids.

Thee Next thing I did was put  gold eyeshadow on my lids,

When putting the gold eyeshadow, you want to apply it "all over the eyelid, right into the inner corner and out along the crease, extending slightly at the outer corner"(Luke 165).  As you can see in the photo of how I did it.  Also MAKE SURE TO BLEND THE EYESHADOW! Not blending the eyeshadow will make it look like a blob of gold(or whatever color you choose to do)  and that does not look very appealing.

       Next, I added brown and a little bit of black on my outer corner to add depth to the look.

You can chose to do this step first then add the gold or do it the way that I did it.  I personally like doing the brown and black first, but I wanted to try this way.


For my brow highlight I used the white eyeshadow.

In the book since she did a full face, she the same white eyeshadow for her brows and put a little of it on her nose(that being the nose highlight).

    Now time for eyeliner. Applying eyeliner is definitely still  struggle for me but I get the gist of it, so if I keep practicing and practicing then I will be able to get that "perfect" winged liner.

When applying the winged eyeliner  you want to start from the middle then extend outward and end with a little flick. Then from the center extend that to the inner corner, but not to far. You can go back and make it as thick as you want or as thin as you want.

That is the end of the eye look. 

This look for me was fairly simple and pretty easy to achieve, I would definitely do this look again. 

After reading this post and seeing how I achiever the "she's a start" makeup look, would you recreate this look?  Would you do anything different? 

                                           

Eyeshadow look: Go for gold

      My 3rd look I created from the Lauren Luke Looks by Lauren Luke is the "go for gold" look. This look is fairly simple.

The thing that was tricky about this look is the wing that was in the look. As you can see in the the picture she has winged her eyeliner and I chose to do the wing. It wasn't to hard to do but my wings(on both eyes) turned out a little different but it wasn't to much of a difference. Mastering a wing eyeliner definitely is hard, but it isn't impossible to accomplish.

For this look I used:

• Revlon Photo ready foundation 
• The falsies volume mascara 
• The 24K Nudes 
• e.l.f eyeliner pen   
• e.l.f eyeshadow brush
• e.l.f blending brush 

The 1st thing I did was put my Revlon photo ready foundation all over my eyelids to make my eyelids 1 color.

Next I put the gold color all over my lid, in the Lauren Luke Looks book she says to use a "Yellow- Gold eyeshadow"(Luke 119). Make sure to put this gold all over your eyelids and blend(in the picture my eyeshadow was not blended, but I do blend it after I just didn't take an after picture)

                                                                                                                

       Next, on the brow bone I put a silvery white color. In the Lauren Luke Looks she says to use a "white eyeshadow"(Luke 120) and that was the closest color I had to white, it still turned out good though (In this picture you can see the gold eyeshadow is blended). Make sure to not put a lot and also blend out the color so it won't look like a blob of (in my case) silvery white eyeshadow.

      Now for the tricky part... winged eyeliner.  "Start in the middle upper eyelid and draw a very fine line to the outer corner, giving a little flick at the end."(Luke 120). Since this winged liner didn't really have "structure" to it wasn't as hard as it would be if the wing had more "structure".

 

  

       After I put the same gold eyeshadow to my lower lash line. In the book she uses a "Honey- gold eyeliner"(Luke 122) to the lower lash line instead of gold eyeshadow.

       Next I put on mascara.

In the book she says to "Apply one layer, wait for 10-20 seconds, apply another layer- and watch your lashes stand up"(Luke 122), and I did that and that made my eyelashes appear more longer.

 This is how the look turned out.

          This is a look that doesn't take a long time(minus the eyeliner. Unless you mastered the art of winged eyeliner). I got to practice my wing eyeliner my right eye was fine but my left need a little work. Do you know how to do wing eyeliner? If you do, how long did it take for you to "master" it?
