BEAUTY BAR: Makeup That's Golden

July 8th, 2015 at 2:00am

This Fashionista’s makeup and jewelry combination is absolutely breathtaking. It was nice to see a full makeup look grace this campus, as even I  have been struggling to switch my usual spring makeup routine to a sweat free, waterproof one that will last all day.

This Fashionista’s look first and foremost consists of a healthy and immaculate base, a must-have this summer since the natural sunlight tends to bring out everything on the face, whether you like it or not. Any Fashionista (or even Fashionisto) can achieve such a flawless base using a light coverage BB cream.

Next is a full brow. The full brow is a trend that models such as Cara Delevingne, Malaika Firth and Jourdan Dunn have been seen with both on and off the runways. It’s a staple that even average girls like you and me can either naturally achieve or use products on to get a needed boost.

Thirdly, this Fashionista blends a mauve-colored eyeshadow to her upper lids with a gold-colored eyeshadow on her lower lids, topping with a brown eyeshadow on her crease to create a flawless smokey eye. She lined her eyes with a liquid liner and brushed on a nice coat of volumizing mascara to create a classic cat eye finish. Lastly, she swipes on a coat of mauve lipstick to complete this look.

So how can you achieve this look? How do you get this look on a student budget? And how do you make this look last all day? I’ll fill you in.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? To achieve a similar look you will need a BB Cream, a trio eyeshadow palette to create a smokey eye, a waterproof brow pencil to define your eyebrows, some mauve lip pencil, gel liner and a waterproof mascara.
