FACE |
|
|
| Foundation / Concealer
|
This look is a tribute to minimalism. By choosing colors that are soft and light, her beautiful green eyes and perfect mouth seem to pop out without any effort. Use a light concealer to hide dark circles and red areas. Apply a liquid foundation all over to even out skin, and set with a loose powder (after blush).
|
| Blush |
Apply a pink/rose blush with a large brush to outer apples of cheeks and along cheekbones toward hairline.
|
| EYES |
|
|
| Eyelid | Lightly cover eyelids in a pale, pearly lavender shadow. You can also lightly cover the base of the lower lashes for extra glamour.
|
| Crease |
Use a light gray or dark pink for the crease. |
| Hilite |
Use a flesh tone pink under the arch of the brow to hilite.
|
| Eyeliner |
Use a sharp gray pencil to line lids. Begin with the upper lids, carefully lining as close to the lashes as possible, getting in between the lashes, themselves, to create an "invisible" liner. Step back from the mirror and assess if the eyes need more definition. If so, repeat the lining technique on the lower lashes, working from the outside corner towards the inner corner. Check frequently in the mirror, and only line as much as necessary to define eyes. You can blur the liner slightly with a matching shadow to soften.
|
Brows |
Define brows with a powder slightly darker than your hair color. Try defining only the arch, expanding from there as necessary.
If your brows are dark and full, make sure they are well-groomed and just add a touch of gel to keep them in place.
|
Mascara |
Use two light coats of brown or brown-black mascara. Curling your lashes beforehand will create a bright-eyed effect. You may want to separate lashes with a lash comb when mascara dries to maximize the natural look. |
LIPS |
|
|
|
To recreate Charlize's picture perfect mouth, try lining with a plum or raspberry lip liner. Try using a berry lipstick with a high-shine pink gloss applied over top.
