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

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'
