Festive tutorial with Maybelline Superstay 14hr Lipstick in Timeless Crimson: Gold Eyes with Crimson Lips
Hi everyone :)
Today I have a beautiful yet easy festive look with gold eyes and
rich crimson lips.
I've used Maybelline Dream Liquid Foundation in Nude Beige 3.5 as the base, topped with a light dusting of Lakme Perfect Radiance Compact in Golden
Medium.
For eyes I've used the Oriflame Sand and Green Palette;
affordable, not heavily pigmented and shades have fallout, but work very well
when wet, which is how I've used it here. I've used the Maybelline Hyperglossy
Liner in Black to line my upper lid and have used the Lakme Eyeconic Kajal in
Brown to render a softer look to the waterline. I've used the newly released
Maybelline FashionBrow Duo Shaper on my brows (very effective on sparse brows;
detailed review up soon) and finished with my Chambor Infinite Lengths Mascara.
For lips I've just used The Maybelline Superstay 14hr Crimson
Lipstick in Timeless Crimson (dupe for MAC Dubonnet!). I've also used the same
lipstick as a light stain.

Breakdown of the eye makeup:
Guide to Eye Makeup: Step by Step |
Step 1: Prep eyes with a light wash of foundation to even out tone
and cover pigmentation.
Step 2: Fill in brows with the Maybelline FashionBrow Duo Shaper.
Fill in with the liner part and create a softer look with the smudger/powder
applicator tip.
Step 3: Apply shade 01 (a pale white gold) to highlight the brow
bone.
Step 4: Apply Shade 03(a champagne gold shade) on a wet eyeshadow
brush, covering entire lids.
Step 4: Apply the fourth shade from the palette (a shimmery soft
brown) on the outer V of the lid and in the crease. Blend well.
Step 5: Apply liner generously. Apply the kajal, lining both the
inner lids.
Step 6: Blend very well for
a final time and apply mascara.
Additional Step 7: For smudged eyes in second pic, use a smudger
or the pinky finger and run it all over the lined area, just once.
For the blush: (sorry for the hideous first pic!)
Guide to Applying Blush |
Step 1: Apply the lipstick very sparingly all over the cheekbone,
going from the highest part of cheekbone, below the centre of the eyeball,
towards the temples upward.
Step 2: Using clean fingers, blend, using motions from below the
eyes to towards the temples. Repeat and blend very well.
Finish with a dusting of compact powder all over the face.
With a liner brush, line and fill scrubbed and moisturised lips
with the lipstick. Wait for a minute and with a lip filler, build up layers
with the lipstick. You can also apply the lipstick directly on the lips, and
then pat them with a clean tissue paper, and apply again. The process can be
repeated once more, to build the colour to the desired intensity.
I've worn the lipstick matte in the second pic, while I've applied
a clear gloss (Lakme Lip Gloss in Vanilla) for the first picture.
Hope you like it!
