Summer Sunset Makeup Tutorial

I feel like it has been a WHILE since I’ve done a makeup tutorial! The truth is I haven’t actually been wearing a lot of makeup recently. It’s been way too hot here in the UK to even think about plastering a bunch of makeup on my face. Thankfully however the weather has finally started to cool down and I found myself reaching for one of my brightest eyeshadow palettes to create this summer sunset makeup look!

Base

• First of all, I primed my face using the Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Minimiser Primer.
• I then used the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer to brighten up my under eye area and cover any blemishes.
• Next, I applied the Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation with a Spectrum B01 Brush.
• I set my entire face with the RCMA No Colour Powder.
• For my eyebrows, I used the ABH Dipbrow Pomade in the shade Taupe.

Contour, Blush and Highlight

• I used the ABH Powder Contour Kit to carve out my cheekbones and bronze up my face.
• For my blush, I used the Bobbi Brown blusher in the shade Rose.
• I then highlighted my cheekbones, cupids bow and nose using the shade Sunshine from the ABH Dream Palette.

Eyes

• I’m sure you can all guess my first step…I used the Urban Decay Original Primer Potion all over my eyelids.
• For this look, I used the Beauty Bay EYN 42 Bright Palette and took the shade Make Them Wink as my transition.
• Then I used Modern Way and applied this in the crease with a fluffy Spectrum brush.
• Next, I used stamped the shade Drama Queen onto my outer corners, really packing on the pigment and then blending it out and into Modern Way.
• With a flat brush, I took the shade Rise and Shine and applied this to the inner third of my lid.
• I then used Orange Soda for the centre of my lid.
• Lastly, I used both Tangerine and Drama Queen for my lower lashline.
• To finish off I applied two coats of the Rimmel London Volume Colourist Mascara.

Lips

• For my lipstick, I used the NYX Liquid Suede Lipstick in the shade Electric Slide.
