Step 1 – I always like to start with the brows as they really frame the face. I start with the Sleek Brow Pencil in the colour light before adding more definition with the Illamasqua Brow Cake in Thunder towards the end of the brow. I then apply a Mac Paintpot in the colour Soft Ochre all over the lid and under the brow to give a subtle highlight.

Step 2 – I applied a matte skin colour shade all over the eyelid and then a matte brown shade through the crease. The key to this look is to blend, blend, blend!

Step 3 – Using black gel eye liner I lined the upper lash line and extended it into a flick. I then applied a pair of Katy Perry lashes and mascara.

Step 4 – Moving onto the base I used the Mac Prep + Prime Radiance Primer and then followed with a foundation and a lighter concealer under the eyes. I chose to mix Nars Sheer Glow and Mac Studio Sculpt. I set this using Mac Mineralised Skin Finish Natural in Light and the yellow cc powder under the eyes to counteract the purple tones under the eyes.

Step 5 – I contoured the face with Mac Sculpting powders and the applied a blusher to the apples of the cheeks.

Step 6 – I mixed the two Illamasqua lipsticks in Minx and Rosepout and applied them to the lips.

Quick and easy steps for a sun kissed holiday look By Hannah-Sophie Boulton. You can find more about hannah here

Step 1: Prep the skin with clinique superbalance moisturiser, then Mac Fix plus spray, and finally Maybelline baby skin; this will leave your face fresh, hydrated and ready for makeup application.

Step 2: Start your makeup look by applying Mac face and body foundation. This foundation is perfect for holidays as it is thin consistence, therefore it can be worn as a thin layer for that little coverage you may need, and also very buildable for a night time look. Apply this all over the face and work into the neck area using a real techniques ‘expert face’ brush.

Step 3: Leave the foundation to sink into the skin

Step 4: Next, take Mac sculpting powder and a contouring brush, (I’m using the real techniques contour brush). Apply this into your desired contour areas which compliment your face shape e.g. under the cheek bone, temples, forehead and nose.

Step 5: From the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette, I’m using ‘Half baked’ as a highlight, and applying this with a angled face brush on the cheekbones, down the centre of the nose, and just above the cupids bow.

Step 6: From the Urban decay Naked 2 Palette, take ‘half baked’ and apply all over the lid (you can also spray a little of Mac fix plus onto the brush to intensify the pigments of the eyeshadow) I’m then using a Mac 217 brush to blend all of that in to give a soft look and eliminate any harsh lines from the eyeshadow.

Step 7: From the Urbay Decay Naked, take ‘buck’ and apply into the crease of the eyes socket to add depth to your look. Im using a real technique ‘crease’ brush so that it is evenly spread and blending.

Step 8: The Next step is optional. Personally I don’t like to wear mascara on holiday during the day in case I go swimming, but in case you do, apply a thin layer of waterproof mascara to the lashes, to makeup your eyes stand out.

step 9: Finally, to finish off this sun kissed look, I am using Mac ‘Hug me’ lipstick, to give a nude lip, then taking a small amount of Mac ‘Vanilla’ pigment, and  working this into the lipstick to give it a small golden glow.

You should now be left with a dewy, golden summer look, which is perfect for when you don’t want to bother with too much makeup, but still want that beautiful bronzed glow! to make this more of night time look, you could apply false lashes and liquid eyeliner with a feline flick to dramatise the eyes.

Vampire makeup tutorial by Nicole Lambert

Firstly I prepared the skin with a cleanser toner and moisturiser prior to the makeup application. I then prepared my model with a cape and clipped the hair back away from the face.

I always start with the eye makeup first because if any extra product drops onto the face it is easier to clean up and doesn’t ruin the foundation base. i will apply a small amount of propose in Prague from the sleek vintage romance palate using a small eye shadow brush. Appling all over the lid and blending out towards the eyebrows. Then with the same brush I applied a Christian Dior show mono eye shadow in087 black over the lid, blending out towards the eyebrows and concentrate on getting depth and colour on the lid, flicking outwards away from the eye. Then with a mac super slick liquid eye liner in black I applied a thin line across the top of the lash line, creating a small flick at the end of the outer corner of the eye doing the same for the bottom lashes. Then with a thin eye shadow brush I smoked out the eyeliner with the same black eye shadow, creating a smoked effect. Then for the lashes I applied a thin coat of Estee Lauder sumptuous bold volume lifting mascara in black to the top lashes using a disposable mascara wand. While that was drying I prepared the false lashes using a duo glue and applied to top lashes. (Trim down to size if needed).

I then used a mac eye pencil in duck for the eyebrows, using an angled flat brush to blend inwards and create a nice shape. Then with another small angled brush I applied a small amount of mac concealer in nw15 under the eye brow to give some highlight.

For the face I used a small amount of smash box photo finish primer all over the face with a flat foundation brush, then all over the face I used Dior air flash foundation, I sprayed directly onto the models face also blending with a small stubby foundation brush. Creating a flawless finish. Settling with a mac loose powder. Gently going over with a Dior skin pressed powder in nude tan, applying with a large powder brush. Then for the cheeks I used a mac Sharon Osbourne refresh powder applying with an angled blush brush, also using a small amount of the Dior eye shadow on the top of the cheeks to add a bit of gaunt and spooky to the makeup.

For the lips I used both illamasqua in pristine and mac viva glam Rihanna frost to line the lips and blend them both together.

I then applied a small amount of mould life arterial blood to both sides of the mouth, to give the vampire look.

I will curl the hair with large curling tongs and backcomb to make it look big with lots of volume.

I am creating this vampire look to make it look glam and girly. This makeup is something for the less daring and someone that wants something subtle.

Step By Step 1920’s Makeup Tutorial – Makeup artist Charlotte Coop

1. Ensure that the base is prepped well in terms of skin type to ensure a perfect makeup application. Use a medium to full coverage matte foundation in order to replicate the flawless skin that was popular in the 1920’s. Conceal any imperfections as well as the under eye area and set the base with a loose invisible powder.

2. Comb the eyebrows into an arched, rounded shape – one of the key features of a 1920’s makeup look. Fill in the brows with powder.

3. Prime the eyelids with an eyeshadow primer to avoid the eyeshadows creasing and to achieve maximum colour payoff. To begin, blend a neutral brown shadow (I used ‘Cork’ by MAC) into the crease as the transition shade. Next, take a shimmery purple/grey eyeshadow (I used ‘Mugshot’ from the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette) and blend this all over the eyelid and along the lower lash line. To complete the eyeshadow, apply a dark purple eyeshadow (I used ‘Sketch’ by MAC) into the outer V and through the crease to darken the look – blend with a clean blending brush until there are no harsh lines.

4. To complete the 1920’s eye makeup, line the upper lash line with any dark coloured eyeshadow (I used ‘Brun’ by MAC) and smoke this out to darken the look. Apply a black kohl eyeliner to the waterline and tight line, finishing off with plenty of mascara and optional false eyelashes.

5. Now that the eyes are complete, finishing touches can be applied to the base. Clean up the under eye area incase of any fallout from the eyeshadow and then contour the high points of the face (cheekbones and temples) to add dimension to the look. Next apply blusher to the apples of the cheeks – a rosy glow was popular in the 1920’s so a pink or peach colour would be ideal (I used ‘Melba’ by MAC).

6. The final step of the 1920’s makeup look is the lips. A dark lip colour such as purple or burgundy was popular in this time period – I chose a dark vampy purple colour. Firstly line the lips with a lipliner – this is important when working with dark lip colours as it allows us to fill in the lips neatly and stop the dark lip colour from bleeding onto the face. I used ‘Nightmoth’ by MAC and then filled in the lips with YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick in 39. Once the lipstick has been applied the 1920’s makeup look is complete.
