Hello!!!
Here is
a quick and easy make up look that is great for summer nights, inspired by
Scarlet Johansson’s photo shoot for Dolce & Gabbana. Even though it’s not a complicated
look, it will bring out your eyes and compliment every skin tone.
So,
here is a picture of the look
Start
out with applying a primer to your lids to prevent the eye shadows from
creasing. Especially during the summer, when the weather’s hotter, your make up
can slip and slide and get ruined. An eye shadow primer will prevent that from
happening and will also make the colors look more vibrant. You can also apply the primer on your lower lash line since we're going to be using colors there as well.
Select
a copper or sand-colored eye shadow and apply that on your lid. Stop when you
reach the crease. If you don’t know where your crease is, just press your eye
shadow brush gently on your eye socket and see where it becomes hollow. Blend to
avoid any harsh lines. If you need help creating a sharper look when the eye
shadow reaches the outer corners of your eyes, you can apply some scotch tape
on each side and remove it when you’re done.
Now
select a darker brown eye shadow and apply that on and above your crease. In
the picture, Scarlet seems to have most of the darker color on the outer
corners of her eyes. By applying a darker color above your crease, you are
making your eyes look larger and also you’re making the look more dimensional,
less flat.
Apply some of the dark brown eye shadow on your lower lash line as well to balance out the look.
Select a shimmering white eye shadow (or
a shimmering flesh toned one) and add that under your brows blending it with the copper/sand-colored
eye shadow. A lighter eye shadow below the brows highlights the look.
Finally,
apply your eyeliner
Scarlet is wearing a very classic eye liner in the picture
and to recreate that, all you need is a felt-tip eyeliner or a very thin eye
liner brush. Start by making small strokes along the lash line, starting at the
inner corner and work your way out. Flick the tip of your brush upwards to
create a perfect cat eye. Stay as close to the lash line as possible. If you
have small eyes or very little lid space, make sure you keep the eyeliner line
as thin as possible so as to not cover the other eye shadows.
Apply generous coats of mascara, one that adds length and volume!!!!
Add
some blush to your cheeks of if you prefer to sculpt your cheeks, add some
bronzer under your cheek bones to make your face look slimmer. Apply the
bronzer under your cheek bones, following an upward motion. This will also give
you a face lift!
For the
lips, Scarlet is wearing a rose pink colored lipstick, but since the eyes are
very neutral, they can go with everything. If you want, you can wear a red
lipstick as well and make it a more glamorous look. You can also leave the lips
bare for a day look.
Enjoy!!!
