Make-up fit for royalty!!!

From July 25th to the 31st I was in Chicago doing make-up at the Miss Teen International Pageant. The picture to the right is the current Miss Teen Washington DC International Lystra Edwards. To recreate this look I applied a nice variety of makeup that will last all day and night!

For the face, I used light liquid foundation ( Loreal True Match in cocoa) mixed with tinted moisturizer ( I used the drugstore brand Jane. nearly foundation in medium) to create a custom blend. Then I used a powder brush (MAC 187)to dust list powder on top to seal the foundation.

For the eyes, I used MAC Paints in Bamboo as a base to decrease creasing and allow pigments to last all day. I also added a dark eyeshadow shade on the balls of the lids and slightly lighter shade in the crease ( use a smaller belnding brush) and outer corner V, I then used my favorite brush, a clean blending brush (Princeton Select Round Blender) to blend all the colors for smooth transition. As far as the pigment I used a eyeshadow brush to applied vanilla as the highlight under the brow and black eyeliner to frame the eye and dark brown eyeliner to give the brows definition. I added lashes and Loreal Carbon Black Telescopic mascara for long flirty lashes.

For the cheeks, a applied pink blush on the cheeks and up the cheekbones with a blush brush.

For the lips we applied chestnut liner and a nice complimentary color like aquaCeuticals Lipstix in Montego Bay and clear gloss.

To set it all off don't forget to spray your face with Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Make-up Setting Spray.
