As
most women would know by now, you can tell a lot about someone through
her makeup. This shoot is all about ‘talking’ through their makeup.
1. Electric
This makeup is for the bride who isn’t afraid to have the spotlight on
her on her big day. The most outstanding factor of this makeup obviously
are the eyes. It features bold colours created using the Makeup Forever
electric eyeshadow pallete and pink glitter from NYX (even though the
glitter doesn’t show in the pictures). On the model’s lips are NYX’s
extreme shine lip cream in ‘Candy Land’ which gives that gorgeous soft
pink shade without being bright enough to overshadow the eyes.
2. Nude-itude
This makeup is for the bride who wants to let her skin do all the
talking, while flashing her confident attitude through her eyes. It
features the new Dramatic Chromatic eye shadow pigment from NYX in
“mocha” which highlights the eyes while keeping it subtle. The fierce
eyeliner is Mac’s “fluidline” gel liner which adds attitude and some
drama to the whole look.
3. Nefertiti
This makeup is for the bride who is all about that sultry golden glam.
The makeup exudes sensuality and sophistication. It features gold
pigment on the eyelids from Inglot and Mac’s “fluidline” gel liner for
the double winged eyeliner.
On the lips is NYX’s Glam lip gloss in “Aqua Luxe” which gives the
illusion of very plump luscious lips with a very natural shade. It makes
the lips look almost as if no colour was added to them. The cheek bones
are also a high point of the entire look and they were bronzed out
using The Balm Cosmetics Mary-Lou Manizer.
4. Glitz ‘n’ Glam
This look is for the bride that wants just the right amount of glitz and
glam that can be worn for both traditional and white wedding.
Additionally it’s also perfect for a reception look. It features a
glamorous cut-crease accentuated by gold glitter from NYX. On the lips
are Nouba’s Millebacci liquid lipstick in 66 and NYX’s ‘natural’ extreme
lip shine in the middle for a slight ombre effect.
5. Bold-mine
This is for the modern unconventional bride who wants bold glamour but
with a different kind of “fleek”. It’s soft and neutral on the lids but
bold and daring on the waterline. This look features purple from Urban
Decays “Electric” eyeshadow pallete on the waterline and pink glitter
from NYX in the inner corner of the eyes. On the lips are Nouba’s
Millebacci liquid lipstick in 45 and Mac’s Candy yum yum for this
ferocious ombre effect.
6. Purple Diva
This look is for the bride who is every inch a diva. She can rock Ankara
or rock a Sari and still radiate with purple goodness. She isn’t afraid
to be girly hence the playful use of the color purple. The eyes feature
colors from Urban Decays electric pallete. For the ombre lips, I used
Mac’s Candy Yum Yum and Dose of colours in Petals with a hint of NYX’s
purple rain lip liner.
