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.

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!!!
