Hi Bellas,
I'm back to work after a nice, long weekend celebrating Thanksgiving here in the US. My Holiday went really well...my boyfriend's fam stayed over and enjoyed themselves. I was so relieved that everything went well...it was my first time hosting a Thanksgiving feast and meeting the BF's grandma. Success!
I wanted to share with you some pics of the look I created for the Elle Bang Brush Review video. I was inspired by Beyonce's new video "Video Phone". It's not an exact replica of Beyonce's look in the video since honestly I didn't get a good look at it except for the few seconds they focused in on her face. Rather, this is more of a take on the pin-up look. I purposely apply a lighter foundation to the center of my face in this look to mimic the "lighter foundation" look that Beyonce did in the video (did you all see how she looked about 3 shades lighter in her red lipstick scenes?). I noticed that this is a trick that Rihanna's makeup artist uses as well. I probably wouldn't do that too much in real life though because my skin looks a little too pale in pics.
Recently I've been into the matte, nude, eyeshadow look with lots of liner. I just love the way mattes look since they come off so clean and opaque. The look is actually pretty simple, just make sure you pack on the shadows and get precise with that liner.
Time for Pics!
