Get the Look: Priyanka Chopra's Wedding Guest Makeup

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).

Get the Look: Meghan Markle's Wedding Makeup

It's been sooooooo long since I've done a make up look on this blog, and boy have I missed it! So what a better opportunity to grab my brushes once again (now I've finally washed them) than to recreate the stunning look that Daniel Martin did for Meghan Markle's wedding last week. I mean, it was so simplistic and NATURAL! Her skin was just glowing and almost like there was a glass film over her natural skin, just ugh! I could go on about her skin for years! Paired with a smokey eye, Martin talked about how the makeup aimed to not take away focus from the simple elegance of her gown, in this gem of an article from Elle, and it really fits that brief. All you need is a few brown eyeshadows, I'm sure most of you have in your collection, to create this super versatile brown smokey eye. There aren't any pictures from the day with her eyes closed, but if you watch the highlights programme on iPlayer and pause it at 30:20 mins you can catch her blinking - this is the main reference I used, if you want to use an original image yourself.

Enjoy!

First, apply a warm brown eyeshadow across the lid. I've used an old Benefit eyeshadow in 'Soft Shoulder'

Well aren't these some flattering angles ...

Then apply a dark brown shadow through the crease, focussing colour on the inner and outer corner to smoke it out (think halo-esque eye). I used another discontinued Benefit eyeshadow called 'fishnets'.

To deepen this brown, I went in with another dark brown shadow called 'Chocolate Biscuit' by Estée Lauder. I then did a thickish layer of brown pencil eyeliner. I used a new favourite by 3ina, their Automatic Eye Pencil in 304.

To finish off this look I added a thin layer of black liquid eyeliner on my top lid. I used Soap and Glory's SuperCat Liner. I wasn't going to use eyeliner, but the Elle article has a link to products inspired by the look, including a liquid eyeliner. Having interviewed her make-up artist it is likely that black eyeliner was used on her. The eye look was finished off with a curl of the lashes and some mascara, thicker on the top lashes than the bottom (the lack of product on the bottom of the eye keeps this look looking fresh, despite the darkness of the top lid). There's a high probability that falsies were used, probably individuals to thicken the outer corner, but I only own one pair of strip lashes and they would not have suited this look at all.

For my glasses wearing brides out there 😊

To finish off the rest of the face, start with an illuminating primer, followed by a lightweight glowy foundation. Then spot conceal the odd spot and darkness under the eyes (use concealer sparingly, no triangles here please). The main part of this look is to allow your skin to be seen, only a sheer amount of base make up should be used and with only a little concealer. For the cheeks, I used a bronze-pink colour, bringing this onto the forehead to warm up the face a little. I then added all the glow back to the skin (cause my skin is dry and dehydrated as), by patting some more of that illuminating primer into the skin and following with some liquid highlight on the cheeks. I then filled in my brows and gelled them into place. For the lips, I don't own the right shade of lipstick (I used to own one by Rimmel, but alas it now lives on a landfill site), so I mixed my go to nude with a little hot pink (hence the fact it's darker than Meghan's). Full product list below:

Terrible quality picture, but it picks up the glooowwwwww!

Prom Week- Old Hollywood/Vintage 50s Inspired Look

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

For the ultimate vintage feel, I finished off the makeup with some winged eyeliner. Out of preference I kept it thicker and shorter, but do what ever style you prefer. If you do your eye makeup before the rest of your makeup, if you mess up you can remove and redo your eyeliner, safe in the knowledge that you only have to redo 2 steps :) Add some mascara to finish - false lashes would make the look a lot bolder, but I don't own any so can't demo the look with them; as with all these looks, adapt it to you personal preference :)

Here come the selfies...

Say what?! She remembered glasses pictures today 🎉🎉

Prom Week: Bronze, adaptable smokey eye

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

Apply the dark shadow onto the outer third/v of the eye. Either apply with a small blending brush for precision, or apply first with a small flat brush such as the Real Technique Accent Brush, before blending out with a larger blending brush (such as the one used to apply the first shadow). Also apply to the crease, pointing your blending brush upwards so it applies to the top of the crease/bottom of the brow bone, as well as on the outer 1/2 of the lower lash line with the same small flat brush, connecting the shadow to the top lid's shadow on the outer corner.

If you like simple looks, you could actually finish here, add some mascara and go on to your regular base makeup!

Step 3) Glitter Shadow

First apply eyeshadow primer to the inner 2/3 of the lid to intensify the glitter shadow. Then, using a flat shadow brush or your finger, pack the glitter shadow over the primer. I took it round the inner corner and on the inner half of the lower lash line until it met the dark shadow on the outer 1/2 of the lower lash line. This is to intensify the look and close the eye slightly, darkening it and making it look more smokey. Finish by building up the darkest shadow and glitter shadow to your preferred intensity. To intensify further, apply brown or black pencil eyeliner to your waterline.

Finish off with your normal face makeup routine. For the cheeks, I opted for a bronzer over a blusher as I felt a pink cheek would clash with the bronze eye, while a bronzer would pull it together. I also went for a matte finish to the skin because, not only does it generally work better in pictures, but it brings more attention to the glitter on the lids. I went for a matte-ish lip for the same reason.

*here come the selfies*

(I forgot to get glasses pics! *face palm*)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Makeup used:

Base Makeup

- Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

- Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

- Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

- For blush I lightly used the bronzer from the limited edition (i.e. discontiued) Per Una Speziale palette... (similar)

- For brows, I used my usual mix of Shade 3 from the discontinued Avon Tiger Eyes Palette, and the Collection Colour Lash Clear Mascara

I didn't use primer cause I was taking it off as soon as I was done, and my normal one (the NYX Born to Glow Illuminating Primer) probably isn't the most photograph friendly)...

- 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.
