Welcome to my very first makeup tutorial,
I decided do mine as a step by step guide as opposed to your
regular video tutorial for the time being anyway
as I feel sometimes you can get a better guide in pictures then you can in video
so anyway back to the matter in hand my tutorial.
For my first make up look I went with Lana Del Rey
I have a major girl crush on her and I love many of her make up looks
particularly from her Young And Beautiful music video,
I’m loving the vintage
1920s Great Gatsby feel and this type of look
I always try and imitate myself from time to time.
So I couldn't wait to try this out and and this is only part one
of my Lana Del Rey looks but more on that later.
With this look I tried to create a look similar to the one
Lana wears in the video and also one you could wear on a night out yourself.
So please read on and enjoy my step by step it was really fun to put together lol.
(For a more detailed look click on the images to enlarge them)
Before After
Here is a picture of everything I used to create my own interpretation of this look.
List of Products I Used
Max Factor Face Finity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation
Catrice Cover All Concealer Stick
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
Sleek Face Form in Fair
Sleek i-Divine Eye Shadow in Au Natural Palette
Wet N Wild Color Icon Brow and Eye liner in Charcoal
No 17 Eyeliner Brown
Falsh Lashes From Penneys/Primark
Benefit Mascara They're Real
Wet N Wild Silk Finish Lipstick in Just Garnet
MAC Lip Pencil in Chicory
No 17 Beauty Collection
Brushes are from Penneys/Primark
Step 1:
I applied my concealer on my under eye area and my imperfections I just use my ring finger to apply my concealer I just pat a little on to my imperfections until they disappear.
Then I applied my foundation all over my face using Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
I pumped some product on to the back of my hand to warm it a bit I think by doing this it will blend better into your skin.
You only need a little bit of product on the sponge as a little goes along way for a flawless airbrushed finish.
Step 2:
I started on my eyes next I used the brown shade from my Sleek Au Natural Palette
on my eyelid focusing on my crease and outer corner of my eye it might look messy but doesn't matter as you will be blending anyway.
Start blending outwards with a flat eyeshadow brush I used my brush which is from Penneys
Keep blending until the shadow reaches this shape and intensity.
Step 4
Now I moved on to my next shadow I chose this lovely sparkly one from
my favourite Sleek Au Natural palette ( For the life of me I can't find the name of this shade anywhere the little sheet it came with I lost lol) I sweeped this all over the brown shadow on my lid.
But I avoided bringing this anywhere over my crease and brow bone you don't want any shadow here for this look.
Step 5
I then went on to fill in my brows I hate gel formulas for brows I think you get a better result as they are
more pigmented with a powder. I used the same shadow on my eyebrows as I did on my eyelids
I used the small end of an eyeshadow brush and blended.
Step 6
I lined my top lash line with Wet N Wilds Brow and Eye liner in Charcoal
I created a thin line with a little feline flick for my interpretation of this look.
Step 7
I then applied Benefits They're Real mascara to my top and lower lashes
Step 8
Next I applied some false lashes to make this look more dramatic and more Lana Del Rey esque lol
I got a pack of 5 of these in Penneys for €8.00
Step 9
I then applied some of my No 17 brown liner to my lower lashes and on my waterline
Lana wears brown liner on her lower lashes and a white liner on her waterline.
But I went with brown on both.
Step 10
I then went on to contour my face using my Sleek face form palette I have the fair palette as my skin is naturally quite pale luckily this look is too. I used my flat foundation brush and I contoured under my cheek bones and I also brought the bronzer down my the bridge of my nose.
Step 11
Next thing I highlighted my cupids bow down the bridge of my nose my brow bone and just
a sweep on on top of my cheekbones and on my temples I also added a
little bit of blush to the apples of
my cheeks I used the highlighter and blush that's in the same little kit
Step 12
Next I lined my lips using my MAC Chicory liner to stop the color
I've chosen from bleeding and feathering it always makes your lipstick last longer.
I then applied some lipstick I went with Wet N Wilds Just Garnet as I think it was the closest to
what Lana wears in the video.
There you have it here is my interpretation of Lana Del Rey's make up look from her
Young and Beautiful music video.
