How To: Elegant Golds


Model: Danielle Woods, Photographer: Kolohe Photo, MUA/Hair: MakeupbyJanalyn, Jewelry: Larisa Woltag

This particular shoot was all about Gold, as you can probably tell.. so to compliment Danielles beautiful dress and flower necklace, I did a very subtle golden bronze look that would brighten her eyes a bit. We wanted to keep her brows light to keep the look soft and more youthful (shes not even in HS yet!) and she is soooo talll! I actually had to stand on the stairs to do her hair! LOL

 If you want to know the scoop on this look, keep reading!!

Eyes:
  • Apply MAC Paintpot in 'Let Me Pop' (limited edition, sorry!) all over the lid and right over the crease
  • Pat on MAC Eyeshadow in 'Goldmine' onto the entire lid
  • Diffuse the gold with MAC Eyeshadow in 'Tempting' by applying it on the outer 'V' and blending it inwards on the lid to blend in the 'Goldmine'
  • Take MUD Eyeshadow in 'Spanish Gold' and lightly blend into the crease moving up towards the brow bone
  • Get a nude matte eyeshadow and apply it right under the brow, blending it into the 'Spanish Gold', I used a mixture of MUD Eyeshadows in 'Bone' and 'Wheat'
  • Tightline the upper waterline with MAC Kohl Eye Pencil in 'Smolder' (any soft black pencil would do, or even a gel liner)
  • Line upperlash line with a brown liner, Avon Glimmersticks WP Eyeliner in 'Chocolate Brown'
  • Apply glitter liner over the brown liner, NYX Candy Glitter Liner in 'Gold'
  • Line the lower lashline with MAC Eyeshadow in 'Tempting' with a pencil brush or smudge brush
  • Curl lashes and apply mascara, Lancome Eyelash Curler and  Maybelline Great Lash WP Mascara in 'Soft Black'
Lips:
  • Apply a lip balm or lip conditioner if you have dry lips, MAC Lip Conditioner SPF 15 + Lavender and then lightly blot to take away excess
  • Line lips with a neutral lip pencil, MUD Lip Liner in 'Natural'
  • Apply a matte lipstick in a pale pink shade, MAC Lipstick in 'Cream Cup'
  • Add a touch of gloss, MAC Cremesheen Glass in 'Fashion Scoop'
Cheeks:
  • Contour lightly with Nars Powder Bronzer in 'Laguna'
  • Apply a peachy pink blush onto the apples of the cheeks, MUD Powder Blush in 'Soft Peach' and 'Rose Petal'
