Now I don't know about you, but Priyanka Chopra absolutely won the wedding guest award for best make up at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding last month. As soon as I saw the pictures of her on Pati Dubroff's Instagram I knew I HAD to recreate it! Patti has been super helpful by even uploading a picture of the Chanel products she used, making it so much easier to recreate this for you with what I had to hand (see below).

I mean just ugh, how stunning. I must admit I'm now very much obsessed with Priyanka and am planning on also doing her evening makeup as well (watch this space).

But anyways, here is how I created this simple yet stunning makeup look:





To begin, I applied an eye primer over the entire lid, before placing a white pencil eyeliner over the top (a white base increases the intensity of the colours you apply on top). In a couple of the pictures, her lower waterline looks quite light, so I added a sheer amount of the eyeliner in the outerhalf of my water line to brighten my eyes.




Then I applied a pink shade over the entire lid with a fluffy blending brush.




Next, I applied a dark purple into the outer v of the eye (literally drawing a '<' shape along the outer part of the lashes and up into the outer part of the crease). I then applied more product in the outer corner to build up intensity, making sure to blend out into the pink shade.


To finish, I added a shimmery white eyeshadow onto the inner colour of the eye, bringing it in along the lash line to the centre (which gives a beautiful effect I will use again in the future!). I then applied a little mascara (my eye lash curlers needed cleaning...). Priyanka's lashes were very natural - no volumising effects or lashes in sight. All the pictures have her eyes looking down so I can't tell if anything was applied to the bottom lash line, but it looks nice and fresh without.

A couple of notes about the rest of the look-

Her face was quite matte, so stay away from the highlighters (I know, that's a terrible thing to say!), and Pati went quite heavy on the blush to really make a statement with the look (with no bronzer in sight either).

For the lips, I had to mix all the shades to get the best match as my hot pink was not a good look on it's own - from the pictures, I would say aim for a dusty, almost lilacy bright pink colour (Paty in fact used two shades, with the brighter one on the centre by the looks of it).

Oh my gosh, its a non-smokey eye prom look! Yes, yes I know, you thought this day would never come, but I have in fact got a simple, old Hollywood/classic vintage 50s inspired makeup look for you today - perfect for those of you who prefer a lighter look, or are sporting a classic up do. Its very quick and easy to do and its simplicity means that won't take away from your stunning outfit or intricate hairstyle - Have one focus to your look, not multiple, clashing ones :) Anyways, without further adieu, here is how to recreate this look:

1) Eyeshadow

For a change from my go to brown, I opted to use a small amount of this mauve colour to add definition and depth to the eye. I applied it through the outer half of my crease and built up the intensity on the outer corner of the eye with a fluffy blending brush.

2) Eyeliner

Here come the selfies...

Say what?! She remembered glasses pictures today 🎉🎉

Product List

So today I am coming at you with a goes-with-everything sparkly bronze smokey eye. The neutrality of the eye means that any lip will go with it, so it can go with any dress colour. Furthermore, the technique I am teaching today can be adapted to any colour palette, it's basically a smokey eye how-to and prom tutorial in one!

What you'll need: 

3 shadows - a matte light and dark shade and a glittery shadow all of the same colour. I have gone with a brown/bronze palette, but this can be adapted to any colour (i.e. for a classic black smokey eye, use black, grey and sparkly silver shadows).

Step 1) Light shadow

Using a fluffy, blending brush (such as the Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush), apply through the crease in a windscreen wiper motion.

Step 2) Dark Shadow

Step 3) Glitter Shadow

Eye Makeup

- MUA Pro-Base Eye Primer
- Make Up Revolution Fortune Favours the Brave Palette in Latte, Caffeine Fix and Gold Coins
- Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara in Extra Black

Lips

- A mix of an old H&M red lipstick and Estee Lauder's Pure Color Lipstick in 48. Hot Kiss to tone it down as the lipstick was too bright for the eye.

So as Prom season hits (sorry if I've missed yours btw, they just so happen to coincide with exam season!), I am going to be posting every single day this week with different prom looks of all colours, styles and difficulty levels.



Anywho, we're starting off this week with a colourful pink look, perfect for black, pastel and metallic dresses.

1) Transition Colour

2) Main Shimmer Colour

3) Inner Corner Highlight

4) Smoke it out

5) Finish

Add mascara, eyeliner if you want (I didn't, to keep it lighter and more smokey instead of bold and graphic) before completing with your normal brow and face routine. A nude lip would work best with this, though if you have kept it on the lighter side, experiment with a red lip because that might also work. In terms of blush and contour, a bronzer cheek would probably work better to avoid there being too many pink tones going on across the whole face.

I know I'm late on the bandwagon (or what ever the phrase is) here, but I am finally the owner of the much raved about, very beautiful Fortune Favours the Brave Palette by Make Up Revolution and BritishBeautyBlogger. It comes with a mix of 30 matte, shimmery and baked shades and costs just £9.99 (with free shipping if you get it at Superdrug with your Health and Beauty card- gotta save your mulla as a student haha). This means each shades is costing you just 33p! The pans are smaller than usual (see comparison with my thumb below) but this is probably to keep costs down and to fit them all in a non-huge palette. Although it is a little bigger than usual, it is not as big as, say, a Morphe 350 palette, meaning that it is a great palette to take with you on your travels - the colour range means you can create loads of different looks without having to pack a tonne of makeup :) As you can see, the colour range runs from light pinks to purples, blues, greens and browns as well as highlight shades.

I love that all the shadows were given names, as far as I'm aware Makeup Revolution don't normally name their shades... It makes it so much easier to refer to shades as a blogger, provided I don't loose the plastic sheet with them on... Also, note how small the pans are in contrast to my thumb. They are smaller than regular pans, but ah well :)

Artsy photo cause blogger 😂

Now what is the all important pigmentation like you ask?? Well maybe because it was super hyped about I was expecting it to be better than it is, especially as I have the Iconic 3 Palette so can compare it against other Revolution palettes. The colours are a bit hit and miss in some areas, and to get the best payoff, as always, you will need to use a primer, or at least moisten the lid area in some way, for instance by using concealer on the lid if you don't own primer. Originally I wanted to swatch each colour on my eyelid with and without primer but when I tried I quickly remembered that my terrible phone camera doesn't do the colours justice... Instead I've done a couple of examples so you can see what I was getting at, as well as some arm swatches. Note about arm swatches. 1) to keep it as even as possible I applied with the same brush each time (removing as much of the previous product as possible) and brushed the brush in each pan 4 times before switching onto my arm using the same amount of pressure each time(this sounds like my A Level biology coursework XD). 2) You can apply a lot more pressure with the brush when applying them to your arm than on your eye hence the fact the pigmentation looks out of this world. Believe me when I say that when it comes to applying onto your lid, they will not look as good as they look on your forearm.

Swatches of every shade, laid out as they come in the palette so you can workout what every colour is. This picture is every shadow applied with a primer underneath. By comparing this to the swatches on my eyelids, you can see what I was getting at about how misleading they are about the colour intensity of the shadows.

Swatches without primer. As you can see with the darker shades, there is little difference in the shade intensity - but when on the eyelid the difference is massive. The lighter colours do benefit from the addition of a primer though. One thing I was impressed by was the black shadow- it's the one I accidentally smudged. Look at how intense the colour was post smudging; some poorer quality eyeshadows can look intense then disappear when smudged to nothing. Good work Makeup Revolution!

Shimmer eyeshadow (I think I used Brave) No primer on the right, with primer on the left. Look at how less patchy and more intense the colour is on the left - I know my poor camera quality makes it hard to see, but believe me, the difference was considerably more noticeable in comparison to on my forearm in real life.

To give you an idea what the matte and baked shadows are like. The blue is the baked shadow skylight which I'm really not a fan of- for me the blue is too bright (or at least doesn't go with my skin tone) and the gold doesn't go; I would have preferred a bronze shimmer. The matte shade on the right is Latte if I remember correctly. I was really impressed with this shade. Normally mattes struggle in palettes but it applied and blended really easily :)

Here are some looks I created with the palette while playing with it in the last week. I created a neutral pink look, a blue look (that looks quite grey. I don't know why, potentially because I took it after wearing it for a few hours cause I forgot to wear it straight away) and a green look (which was surprisingly my favourite haha). The glitter on the centre of my lids faded quite fast, which I have come to notice with a lot of drugstore eyeshadows after Sam of PixiWoo pointed it out in her high end v highstreet videos. They don't crease too badly (although the blue look did more than the other two), I use the MUA Pro-Base Primer if you're interested, which was quite surprising and a nice bonus :) My lids aren't that oily but eyeshadow does generally crease by the end of the day...

I don't know what this pose is XD. I keep finding myself pouting since watching Candice on Bake Off and I don't know why haha. Anyways, this was created using some of the green shadows. And I don't even know what's going on with my hair, it doesn't like to lie flat 😂

This was a blue look, but looked much greyer by the time I remembered to photograph it a few hours later... Worth noting from this picture though that the centre of the lids had one the of the bronze/gold shadows on and that after a few hours it had completely faded off - lets play Where's Wally but with the bronze shadow on my lids haha

A pinky, bronze look. A bit more day time friendly than the other two looks I created. Definitely something I'll be reaching for in the spring time!

So overall, how would I rate this palette?? Pigmentation wasn't as amazing as expected from the hype but still good once I got used to the palette. I have never used baked shadows before so don't know how comparable they are to others on the market, but they aren't my favourite shades in the palette although they look beautiful in the palette - New World looks like marble😍. The greens and purples are probably winners for me personally and I know I will be hitting pan on them before long bwahaha. Please don't even attempt to use the brush. It is the WORST brush I have ever used in my life. Honestly. it does nothing and the flat brush fails to pick up any product at all. I'm keeping it for special effects work cause I can afford to ruin it haha.

Pigmentation: ★★★☆
Lasting Quality: ★★★★
Colour range: ★★★★★
Value for Money: ★★★★☆

(☆= half a star fyi)

disclaimer: I was not paid to feature this product by anyone. I bought this with my own money and it was my own decision to review it. Neither am I a fan of the blog "BritishBeautyBlogger" meaning I don't feel obliged to love this palette as a fan of the creator of it. In fact, to show my ignorance of the blogging world, I had never heard of her before this palette.
