At University, I can usually be found doing one of the following…
- Having a burger with Lisa
- Making noise in the library with Lisa
- Exchanging weekend gossip with Lisa
Yesterday it dawned on us that Lisa had never fallen victim to my makeup brushes and so we decided that today would be the day. Contemplating Lisa's dark skin (St Moriz kissed), long dark hair and dark eyes, there was only one thing for it – we were going to emulate one of our favourite celebrities, Kim Kardashian.
To start with, I used a light creamy colour on Lisa's eyelids. Kim is famed for experimenting with makeup looks that go from a lighter colour into a darker colour, so I wanted to ensure that our contrast was as dramatic as possible.
Next, I used smoky browns to start adding depth to Lisa's eyes. These were applied with a soft, fluffy brush and acted as a guide for the feline outline that was to come. After this I used black to frame and line Lisa's eyes, and we applied an extra long pair of eyelashes to set the look off.
The real magic, however, came when we started to focus on Lisa's foundation. I used bronzer to sculpt her cheekbones in a way that highlighted her bone structure; this is Kim's favourite makeup tip! She always accentuates her cheekbones and so the makeup look really started to feel Kardashian-esque after we did this.
Not wanting to detract from Lisa's eyes and bronzer, I used a small amount of blusher on her cheeks and finished her lips with a nude lipgloss. Et voila… a new Kardashian was born!
I love teaming up with Lisa to do creative things because we always have such a laugh.
Do you remember what happened the night Lisa and I took a stab at burlesque dancing for CoppaFeel! breast cancer charity? Why not take a trip down memory lane with us and read all about it by clicking here…
