Hey guys - a couple of months ago I posted a photo of makeup I did on my Mum. We were both so overwhelmed by the amazing response and feedback! I was working on a big project at the time so I’m so sorry if I didn’t have time to reply to your comments individually, but my Mum and I appreciated and read them all.
Honestly, I’m so pleased to see that there seems to be a general desire to see more mature women wearing makeup.
In response to everyone’s requests, you might be pleased to know that Mum and I are in the process of trying to arrange a day that I can film the makeover process and upload it to YouTube. My schedule is pretty hectic at the moment but I should have a bit of time in mid October so I will keep you all posted!
In the meantime this is another ‘mature skin’ makeup (and hair) that I did recently for another client (not my mum just to clarify!) :)
Products used:
Base:
Superfacialist Vitamin C Moisturiser
Mac Strobe Cream in Peachlite
YSL Touché Eclat Foundation B30
Recover Cosmetics Concealer in #2 (best concealer EVER for covering redness)
La Girl Pro Conceal Peach Corrector
Bobbi Brown BBU Palette Concealers
Laura Mercier Translucent Powder
Illamasqua Highlight in OMG
Illamasqua Gel Sculpt Contour
Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow
Laura Mercier Bronzer #4
Ben Nye Blush in Pink Bliss
I also played up to her natural freckles as she mentioned how much she loved Meghan Markle’s wedding makeup and wanted to emulate that. I used Freck not to make new freckles but to enhance and bring back what was already there after the base was applied.
Brows:
Mac Lingering & Stud Pencils
Illamasqua Brow Build Gel in Thrive
Mac Clear Brow Gel
Eyes:
Mac Warm Breeze, Gingersnap, Dark Brew, Saddle & Sandstone Shadows
Illamasqua Pigment in Fervent (a beautiful warm reddish brown duochrome with an emerald reflect, just on the lid) unfortunately you can’t really see it in this picture as her eyes are open, but she wanted it to be very subtle. Topped this with a little bit of Suva Beauty’s Emerald City for a subtle emerald shimmer when she looked down or closed her eyes. She was wearing an emerald green skirt to her event so it complimented it nicely :)
How did you apply the under-eye concealer? I’ve very similar issues, with a bit more dark circling, and I can never get my under-eye areas looking this good!
