FESTIVAL GLOW

THE PERFECT FESTIVAL LOOK

I absolutely loved my make up for last weekends WeAreFSTVL, and it made me think there is just not enough festivals in the year for all the looks I want to create! I think festivals are the perfect excuse to use face gems, glitters, and heaps of glow! There are loads of photos online with the most amazing make up for festivals, but I know what your thinking, I too look at them and just think HOW? and think could I really get away with that?

For example, how perfectly amazing is this look? But I'll be the first one to admit that I just would not look like that in that same make up! So start simple, get yourself some face gems, some glitter and highlighter, and create that festival look without going over the top and without stepping outside of your comfort zone.

So this is the look I come up with, I didn't really get enough photos, but I placed one gem under my lower lash line on each eye, which is no effort at all, but I felt it made the look really festival! I started this look by first thinking about a colour palette, which is what I do before starting any look, and I always like to match up with the outfit I am wearing, so naturally I opted for a pink eye. Now it's a festival, so I would always go for a really glittery look, not just a metallic eyeshadow, I'm talking really stand out glitter!

I done most of my eye look using the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, working there matte light pinks working up to a darker mauve colour in the crease, I wanted to cut the crease, but now too dramatically. I did this by applying my crease colours, and once finally done, I used my MAC Paint Pot (Soft Ocre) and a shader brush and patted this on my lids but using the cream product to make a clear defined, unblended line between my lid and crease. From this I applied the Urban Decay Heavy Metal Liner (Gold Shade) all over the lid, making sure it did not go in the crease. The product I was using was gold, and I wanted to make it pink so I took the pink shimmer shades in the Naked 3 Palette, and patted the product on top of the Heavy Metal Gold Glitter before it dried so I could mix the product making it a pink glitter! After everything I applied my crease colours softly along my lower lash line, and then applied one face gem, which I bought in a pack of all different colours from Claires, and stuck one under each eye. These lasted all day, they did not fall off, and I didn't even use any other glue, just the pre glue that was already on!
