OK, I’m so out of practice and I’m trying to get back in the swing of things. Here’s a look inspired by the beautiful Bond Girl, Claudine Auger.
FACE: Under the eyes with a concealer brush, I applied e.l.f. All Over Cover Stick in Apricot Beige. With a kabuki brush, I applied Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation in Classic Ivory. I applied a small amount of Clarins Blush Prodige in Rosewood, a neutral shade, to the cheeks with a blush brush.
EYES: I filled in my brows Benefit Cosmetics Instant Brow in Medium. Also use this pencil to create a beauty mark 🙂 For the eyeshadow I’m using Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Set in Comfort Zone. I applied the dark chocolate shade on the lid. In the crease, I blended the medium brown. Under the brows, I applied the light champagne shimmer. I lined the top lash line with Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Demolition, a black/brown. I lined the bottom lash line 3/4 of the way and not on the water line. I curled lashes and applied Dior Diorshow Extase in Black (not pictured, but it’s my new favorite mascara) to top and bottom lashes. I applied Ardell DuraLashes.
LIPS: I applied Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lip Gloss in Bare Sparkle directly from the tube.
Now for a fragrance, I chose Estee Lauder Private Collection.
Overall, I like this look in “real life”. Obviously, I’m much paler than Claudine and look like a ghost in comparison to her. This look is nice for a glam-natural look that really is an under-played 1960’s bombshell look. The colors in that Wet n Wild Kit are really pretty. If you have the coloring of Claudine Auger here, you need this eyeshadow kit.
What are your plans this weekend? I’m told that I could go hiking. Honestly, I don’t know if I feel like doing that. It’s been an exhausting week. I’d rather get in some retail therapy. And my bangs need trimmed badly. Somebody hide the scissors from me. I predict that after a few glasses of wine that I’ll have the confidence to mess up these bangs myself.
Oh I love this look on you! Your eyes look HUGE
I got eye implants, lol.
I second what Elisa said! You always look gorgeous, but this look is incredibly stunning with your eyes accented and bangs pushed to the side.
Thank you.
These bangs are driving me nuts! Awkward length when they are brushed down. I’m trying to decide if I should cut them or let them grow.
Is is only me who thought I was looking at a picture of Natalie Wood? Beautiful picture!
Thank you.
Agree! This is a great look, and a great way to get back into the swing of things. I admit I have missed the Friday makeup looks (it’s usually Friday, right?)
Thank you.
Yeah, used to post these on Friday…give people inspiration for the weekend 😉
