Makeover Monday
Andree Marie - Summer Bronzed Glow
This week's Makeover Monday model is rising star and talented hairstylist Andree Marie. Andree has a beautiful mahogany complexion and at the time of doing her makeover had recently come back from a beach holiday so had caught a lot of sun.
I wanted to do a look that enhanced her lovely glowing tanned skin.
As you can see Andree has a lot of yellow undertones in her skin, so I wanted to bring those out in contouring her face.
Skin prep: Moisturised with Embryolisse Lait Creme and mixed it with some Becca Shimmering skin perfector in Topaz. I absolutely love this stuff as it provides an instant reflecting glow.
Foundation: As Andree has areas of darkness around her eyes and lips, I used the MAC pure orange corrector first on those areas before following with MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NW48 on her face. I then followed with NW45 concealer under the eyes and on the bridge of her nose to highlight. I set/baked the concealer with Ben Nye's Banana Powder. This will act as a highlight under the eyes and on the high points of her face.
Highlighting and Contouring: The main thing to achieve this look is highlighting and contouring. After setting with Ben Nye's powder, I used MAC Mineralise Skin finish powder in Deep Dark all over to give a natural satin finish. I used Embark eyeshadow to contour her cheekbones, which are truly fierce, and dusted some Hourglass Radiant Light powder over the areas I wanted to highlight and give extra shimmering glow.
Blush: I mixed Nars Gina blush for that peachy look with MAC Format to give extra bronzy glow.
Andree All Scrubbed Up
Eyes: I kept the eyes in soft bronze and golden hues to keep the look glowing. I used MAC Mulch and Antiqued, these are beautiful bronzy brown colours. I used Feline Eyeliner to line the eyes and added lashings of mascara on to finish the definition.
Lips: Keeping it bright and summery I used MAC Neon Orange, with a little NARS Giza gloss on top. I love orange against dark skin tones, I think it just looks amazing!!!
