Hi Lovelies!
I recently relived my childhood by attending a Backstreet Boys (fangirling) concert, and I wanted to share with you beauties the makeup that I did for the night!
Eyes:
- MAC Painterly Paint Pot
- MAC Soft Brown e/s
- MAC Vanilla e/s
- Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner
- Lime Crime Unliner in Citreuse
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Chaos
- Too Faced Size Queen Mascara
- MAC Haute and Naughty Lash
Face:
- Benefit Porefessional Primer
- Too Faced Amazing Face Liquid Foundation
- Benefit Hello Flawless Powder
- MAC Select Cover Up Concealer
- MAC Hilighter Pen in Bright Forecast
- NARS Laguna Bronzer
- MAC Peaches Blush
- MAC Gingerly Blush
- NARS Illuminator in Orgasm
- Ben Nye Translucent Face Powder
Lips:
- Rimmel Cherry Kiss Lip Liner
- MAC Viva Glam Nicki 2 Lipstick
Steps to recreate the look:
- Prime your whole face with your favorite face primer
- Buff in the Too Faced Amazing Face Foundation, or any foundation you prefer
- Set the foundation, if you need more coverage, with a full coverage powder; I used Hello Flawless by Benefit
- Dab on some concealer under the eyes and use a fluffy blending brush to create a flawless finish
- Use some translucent setting powder to set the concealer under your eyes
- Prime your lids or use a nude colored cream eyeshadow base, I used Painterly Paint Pot
- Use a big fluffy brush and take a subtle brown color, blending it into your crease. Soft Brown by MAC is an amazing crease color!
- Then take a more defined fluffy brush and define your crease with the same color (you can use a darker brown if you want it to be more dramatic and smokey)
- Grab your favorite liquid or felt tip eyeliner and create a slight wing on your upper lash line
- Extend the wing a bit more with a neon liquid liner or any other neon color you prefer
- Run a cobalt blue liner on your water line
- Curl your lashes and apply a lot of mascara (add falsies if you want even more drama!)
- Then, back to the face; Use a lighter concealer or a highlighter pen and highlight under your eyes- using the upside down triangle trick- down your nose, under your brows, above your brows, on your cupids bow, and on your chin. Then blend that all in and set with a translucent powder
- Contour your cheeks, the sides of your face, your jaw, your nose, and your temple with a bronzing powder that is 2 shades darker than your actual skin tone
- Apply a natural blush; I used Peaches and Gingerly, both by MAC
- Highlight the tops of your cheeks with an illuminator or powder highlight
- Fill in your brows and set with a clear gel if you have thin or sparse eyebrows
- Line your lips with Rimmel’s Cherry Kiss lip liner, apply a light lilac lipstick and then blend the liner and lipstick together so there are no harsh edges, creating a slight ombre look
And voila! You’re done.
I hope you all like this look and recreate it! I thought it was essential for the concert to add a little bit of neon yellow in honor of the 90s, the best decade ever. Can we go back now?!
Let me know what you think of this look :). I absolutely love neon with a magenta/lilac lip right now. And, don’t forget to follow or subscribe for more makeup looks, tips–videos to come soon!
