Happy Monday!
Since yesterday was Easter Sunday, I didn’t have the time I like to have when doing these makeup challenges. I was rushed practically all day, and I wanted to enjoy doing this one.
Week 4 is 20s inspired, and I absolutely LOVE this look. DISCLAIMER: This is an inspired look. This is by no means historically accurate. Kthx.
In the 20s, bold makeup was a huge hit. The smokey eye was all the rage. Filled in eyebrows began to appear. Red lips popped up on the scene. Pale skin was thought to be a major trend during this period. At least I didn’t have to work hard for that one, eh?
Oh, hai der.
I took a black pencil and roughly lined my upper lash line. I placed 4 dots on my lower lash lines. Don’t worry about being precise. You’ll see in the next step.
Take a smudger brush & smudge that ish.
I took a dense, fluffy brush and applied Feisty on my lid. This color is a shimmery silver shade.
I took the same brush from the previous step and applied Corrupted over the silver. Corrupted is a matte black shade. This will be the basis for the smokey eye.
I took a crease brush and applied Infatuated in the crease and almost up to the brow bone. This will be the transition shade, and it will be used to blend out the harsh, dark line.
I used a fluffy brush and applied Innocent to my brow bone. I also used this color to soften the line from Infatuated.
I used the smudger brush from before and applied the Corrupted color to my lower lash line. More smoke!
I didn’t document this step because it was my usual foundation routine. I’ll do a tutorial on this in the near future. I waited until after I finished my smokey eye to apply my foundation because the fallout was real.
I filled in my eyebrows with my Coastal Scents Brow Tones palette. Dat arch, tho.
I added one coat of 3D Fiber Lashes Mascara. You could go bigger, but I didn’t feel like it. ‘Cuz I’m lazy.
I applied Moodstruck Minerals Loose Powder Blusher in the shade Sweet to my cheeks. I used circular motions to achieve a rounded effect.
I used two colors and two different products for my lips. I first applied Stiff Upper Lip Lip Stain in the color Saucy to my lips.
I applied Moodstruck Precision Lip Liner in the color Posh over the stain. I focused on my Cupid’s bow & the middle of my bottom lip. Accentuating the middle of both the top and bottom lips was made popular during this time.
Sassy face because I can.
Here is the finished look. Again, I LOVE THIS LOOK. I am probably biased because my typical go-to makeup looks includes either a smokey eye, bold & accentuated lips, or super flawless foundation. I never apply them all at the same time, but my dreams were achieved today. Let me know what you think!
