Dark eyes and lips.

As part of our practical session we were given the task to create a 'dark eyes and lips' look.

I tried to recreate something similar to this image from the Dolce & Gabanna S/S 2010 runway show.

- I applied my base as i usually would, however i used extra highlighting products around the cheekbones and forehead.
- I DID NOT POWDER ON TOP
- I contoured using the concealer palette
- I added definition to the brows using powders from the kryolan eye palette with a angled brush
- I created a dewy look by gently dabbing vaseline in to the skin for some extra effect
- In this image and others, the eyes looked very wide so i applied some white liner to the waterline to enhance this
- I applied to layers of bright red lipstick, blotting in between and then dusted a little powder on top to mattify.

Im genuinely really pleased with the outcome. I love how her skins looks, very flawless and dewy.
I could have blended the contour better as looking back on it, it does stick out a little.
I also wish I had added some eyeliner to the top lid to enhance the lashes and darken them swell as the brows.
