HAT FACES FOR HAT HAIR // TWO LOOKS FOR WINTER WARDROBE
Click Image for full look and product breakdown.
Hat season is here in full force. I get often get asked on set by stylists and by my friends how to pair interesting beauty looks with winter accessories without overdoing their makeup look. Here on SET D A Z E I give you two options you can play with. A bottom lash only stained lip look and another a late 60's winged cat eye look that plays up your eye shape by elongating them and making them appear larger.
These looks are great to pair with a brimmed hat because often a hat can create a shadow on the face, which can hide your beautiful features. Doing a bold color on the eyes will enable them to be defined and stand out, combating the shadow the hat can give, and keeping the eyes clean and focusing on the mouth will accomplish a similar effect. It's really all about what feature you love to stand out.
On Ariel for the First Look! I added layers of Givenchy Phenomen'eyes mascara to only the bottom lashes, without adding any eyeliner or shadow. I wanted to go for a super dramatic and a bit uneven feel. Next I added Nars Lip Pencil in Mysterious Red, which is a matte wine color. I had her blot her lips and then I reapplied and then did that again to get the color nice and stained on the skin, and I applied it around the edges of the mouth with my finger tip to give a smudged and not so perfect finish.
Second Look! We all love a cat eye, but what about switching up the shape to add variety in your life!? A way to add variety to a basic cat eye is by adding a bold color like a Cobalt Blue and mute everything else with minimal accents. In addition to experimenting with the classic cat eye shape, another thing to try is the placement of the liner. On Ariel I created a bottom lash line cat eye shape. To do this, have a freshly sharpened eyeliner and start from the inner corner of the eye, dragging the pencil all the way to the outer edge and flick the pencil upward to give the cat eye effect. I like to make the center of the line thicker, giving the illusion of a more oval shaped eye. Just add an extra smudge of pencil in the center under the lashes. Next, I added layers of mascara to the bottom lashes using the Givenchy Phenomen'eyes mascara with a rounded ball shaped brush. You can also use the tip of your mascara brush, which allows you to have control over every little lash. I wanted to give a 60's twiggy heavy lash effect, so I layered each bottom lash with about 5 coats. Then I added mascara to a few of the outer edge lashes on the top. That aids in creating the cat eye shape by bringing your focus to the outer edge of the eye. I finished off ariel's brows with a light brow pencil by Tarte. I wanted the main focus to be on the graphic bold eye and less on the brows but still with some structure to them, therefore I chose a color that wouldn't bring too much attention to them. On the mouth, i used Votre Vu moisture riche lipstick in Loulou which is a peachy pink to give some natural tone and definition while staying fresh. Throw on your favorite hat, scarf, and biker jacket and hit the streets, cause you look like a badass. You can also find this look on www.Refiner29.com and other looks I have created for them there!
