Hello everyone~
I'm finally back on track with my runway inspired looks! And today I shall show you my interpretation of Roberto Cavalli's Autumn/Winter '11 runway makeup. This is a smokey eye with a copper lid and it's gorgeous~ full of warmth and is quite messy too. So, if you'd like to see how I recreated this look:

As usual, I applied a moisturiser and a toner to my skin, then I used a primer and then on top of that I used my BB Cream.
The models in the photos have thick, dark, straight and angular brows, so I used the darkest shade in my brow box to fill my eyebrows in. Once I had done that, I applied a primer to my lids to prevent my eye shadows from creasing.
I patted on a shimmery copper eye shadow (1) to the centre of my eyelids, going slightly past my crease. After that, I packed a matte black eye shadow (2) on the outer corner of my lids and began to blend it in into my crease.
To help me blend out the black eye shadow, I used a matte medium/dark brown (3) into my crease and blended it upwards.
I used the same matte black eye shadow in the inner corners of my eyes and blended that into the copper colour.
I used a black pencil eyeliner on my lash line and blended it out with the black eyeshadow. I kept going back to the copper colour and packing it back onto my lids because it got washed out against the black eye shadow.
With the same copper eye shadow, I applied it thickly under my eyes and slightly blended it out. With the black eye shadow, I applied this on top of the copper eye shadow, but keeping it close to my bottom lashes.
I mixed a light shimmery gold eye shadow (4) and a darker gold eye shadow (5) for my inner corner highlight.
I swept away any fall out that I had and applied concealer where I needed it and blended it out.
I used the same black pencil eyeliner on my water line and I tight-lined with it too.
For the face, I used a highlighter on the top of my cheek bones and a peach blush to warm my face up a bit. For my lips, I just blanked them out a little bit with what ever BB Cream was left on my brush.
And that's it! I realised after taking a few photos, I had forgotten to apply mascara, haha! After I had applied blush and highlighter, I applied mascara on my top lashes and lightly on my bottom lashes.
Thanks so much for reading and I hope you like this look! I really like it, and I don't wear black eye shadow, but it works well here~ of course you can tone it down and make it more wearable and adjust it here and there!

Hello everyone~
Today's recreated runway look is from Jeremy Scott's Autumn/Winter '11 collection. Firstly i'd like to just say that I love Jeremy Scott, he is in my top 5 designers that I admire. His collections are original, youthful, fun and quirky, and what's best is you can take what he has on the runway and wear it everyday, his work is so wearable! In this collection, the models had multi-coloured hair that was tied up in high pigtails, and their makeup was also very bright. The eye shadows varied from yellow, green, orange and pink, and all the models wore dramatic pointed lashes on their lower lashes, giving a very interesting and dramatic look.
If you'd like to know how I recreated these looks:

Firstly, I applied a toner and moisturiser to my skin. This time i'm not going to start with BB Cream like I usually do because pink eye shadow has a lot of fall out and if you try getting rid of it over your foundation/BB Cream, you're going to have a bad time. I began with using a primer all over my eyelids, extending it out past my brows.
I used a matte bright pink blush (you can use eye shadow, I just used what I had) all over my lids and I gradually began blending it upwards. I used a pink eye shadow (1) over the top and blended it outwards, creating a wing shape.
I used another pink blush (2) and used this as a blending colour. I used a matte cream eye shadow (3), and two light pink eye shadows (4,5) under my brow bone to help me create a wing shape.
To make my crease a little bit darker and to intensify the pink more, I used a matte lilac eye shadow (6) through my crease and I darkened it up even more with a matte purple (7).
I wiped away any fallout that I had with a makeup wipe.
I re-applied some primer under my lash line, then I used a matte blue eye shadow (8) under my eyes and connected it to the pink eye shadow.
I used a BB Cream all over my face and I used a concealer for extra coverage. Then I set my makeup with baby powder - I used this because the models were very pale and this would help whiten me out a bit.
I used a white eyeliner on my waterline and I applied this quite thickly. I used a black pen eyeliner on my top lash line, making sure I didn't wing it out. I then applied a lot of mascara on my top lashes only.
I used a pair of dramatic, pointy lashes on my lower lash line.
I blanked out my lips with my concealer then I applied a neon/light pink lipstick to my lips.
And that's it!
I hope you enjoyed reading this post, I had a lot of fun doing it!
Remember, if you want to re-create this look, you don't have to use the exact same products as me! Have fun with it and tone it down or make it as dramatic as you want~!
