Makeup for Formal!

In my previous post I mentioned that it was my sister's formal recently and I had the honour of doing her makeup! (so much pressure but I hope I did ok!) So I thought I'd just share with you guys what I did and what products I used to do her make up :) 

My sister wanted me to use either brown/nude eyeshadows, or silver shadows and I decided that browns/nudes look better on her. 

 First thing I did was prime her face with Nude by nature's face primer. Next I applied Maybelline's Fit Me foundation with my blending sponge, and then I concealed her dark circles and any blemishes she had with Lancome's concealer Teint Miracle, blending everything together with my concealer brush. 

I then set everything with Nude by nature's Mineral Finishing Veil.

Then I moved on to her eyes. First, from the Lancome eyeshadow quad, I used the nude brown colour (bottom right hand corner) - applying it to the middle and outer edges. Next I applied the brown shimmer eyeshadow (bottom left hand corner) to the outer edges of her eyes, giving a soft smokey eye look. 

To finish off I used the white shimmer eyeshadow from my Victoria Secret Ultimate Studio Makeup Kit. I also used the white shimmer to highlight her cheekbones, eyebrow arches and the bridge of her nose.

Next I applied black liquid eyeliner to her eyes. The liquid eyeliner I used was given to us as a present, I have no idea what brand it is, but in all honesty it's a pretty good eyeliner. Then I lined her waterline with a black pencil liner from Designer Brands Australia - this eyeliner is an average eyeliner, I don't really recommend it, its quite hard but sometimes it'll do the job.

To finish off her eyes I used the Katy Perry Lashes I bought (which can be seen from my Cosmetics Haul post) I absolutely LOVE these lashes! they look amazing on! 

(Sorry I completely forgot to take a photo of the lashes for this post!)

Then I used Maybelline's Full 'n Soft waterproof mascara (also mentioned in my Cosmetics Haul) on her lashes, and Ardell's Brow Sculpting Gel on her eyebrows - I definitely recommend this eyebrow gel if you're going for a natural look and don't want really bold, dark eyebrows. 

Moving on from the eyes, I then used bronzer from Nude by nature to contour her face. I actually really like this bronzer, especially for my sister's skin tone. I then used a little bit of blush from Lancome on her cheeks - I personally think this colour looks gorgeous, especially on people with fair skin. 

Finally, I applied nude lipstick to her lips, using Rimmel London's Lasting Finish by Kate Moss (which I also spoke about in my Cosmetics Haul) and also some clear gloss to make her lips nice and shiny. 

Here's the end result! 

(Sorry for the horrible lighting in the room hahaha)

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, I'm sorry for making it so long with so much text. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day where ever you are, and I'll see you lovely people in my next post!
