Hello everyone! I hope you all had an incredible weekend spent
with your mom’s. I know this may not have been the case for a lot of people and
I send you my blessings and love that you are not alone. I myself am not a
mother yet and I can only imagine what it feels like to be one. I was also
unable to spend Mother’s Day with my own mom, but I took great pleasure in celebrating the day with a woman
I consider to be very special in my life, my bf’s mother. Like my own mother,
she is a woman I admire very much and hope to be like someday. A mother is
nurturing, understanding, and always present when you need her the most. I feel
blessed to still be able to call my mom on the phone, at the very least, and
have a good talk, cry, or whatever with her. She is my best friend, my
confidant, and my mother. Once again I hope you all had a wonderful day. Now I
am sure you came here for makeup talk, so lets get on with that shall we?
Every Monday I like to do a series here on my blog that highlights a special fashion piece
or makeup product I am currently enjoying and think deserves the spotlight. A
definite must-have makeup product during the spring season is a great “everyday
palette” to which you can create simple to very elaborate looks. Last week, in
case you didn’t know, was the elegant and timely awaited Met Gala. This time honored event is one of fashion’s most awaited events. This year it
features everything from silver, to glitz and glamour gowns and stunning makeup
looks. This year’s theme was centered on the idea of “Manus X Machina: Fashion
in an Age of Technology”, so many celebs adorned edgy, futuristic looks with
metallic accents. Last week I featured the makeup look that Olivia Wilde wore with her stunning body-con black and silver gown. This week I wanted to
highlight a much simpler, yet very elegant makeup look worn by the popular and
super model sensation Ms. Kendall Jenner. Jenner attended the event with a show
stopping cutout, netted dress by Atelier Versace, which showed off her tone oblique
and sultry model silhouette. She paired this dress with a tone down, yet still
very glamorous makeup look, a great contrast between the edgy dress and simple
sparkly shadows on her eyes.
I wanted to use her look to highlight a product I think
every makeup enthusiast should have in his/her makeup kit and arsenal. I am
talking about the Urban Decay Naked Onepalette. In my opinion this palette has it all, from light browns, to peachy-pink
shimmers and golden shades to create simple everyday, work appropriate looks or
glamorous night-out looks. It is by far one of my most used palettes and one I
believe compliments a lot of different skin tones. As always, being that it is Urban Decay the shadows have a very smooth application and texture, and glide on the
lids to create effortlessly blended out looks.
How to Recreate this
Look:
Now lets continue with a full tutorial on how to get this
look. First of, make sure you start with a clean canvas and a good eye shadow
primer to make sure your shadows stay put all day long. I used the original
Urban Decay eye shadow Primer potion all over the lid to secure that the shadows stay on creaseless all day and show
up vibrant and pigmented. Now on to the look. If you happened to own the naked palette be sure to break it out and follow along with me. Starting with the eye shadow
in “virgin” I concentrated it on my upper brow bone area. Then using “buck” I
made sure to concentrate the shadow only in the crease, intensifying the shadow
subtly. Then using “darkhorse” I intensified the out crease area. Using NYX
jumbo pencil in “yogurt” I placed the color all over my lower lid area making
sure to keep the color only on the lid and right blow the crease area. Then
using “sin” from the naked palette I intensified the crease by placing this
shadow right on top. Topped the look with a winged eyeliner and mascara. I am
sure Jenner is using falsies in her look, but I wanted the look to be wearable
for any occasion.
That is it folks, a very simple yet super glamorous look. I
hope you enjoyed recreating this makeup look with me. For more celebrity
