I decided to do a three-part series of makeup looks using the LORAC Unzipped Palette that I just reviewed and swatched here on Beauty Gala. It’s a gorgeous palette of shimmery and matte nude shades and the possibilities are endless! I decided my first look would be a “GLAM” look, the type you’d wear for that classic, bombshell, night-out-on-the-town face. To see the tutorial and plenty more photographs of the look,
How To Achieve The Glam Look:
- Dust a matte champagne shade into the inner corners of your eyes. I used “Undercover” from the LORAC palette.
- Pat a matte light brown on your eyelids. I used “Unconditional” from the palette. I also traced this along my lower lash line with a brush to add some color and depth to my lower lashes.
- Blend and build up a slightly darker matte brown shade into your crease. The key is to build this shade up slowly rather than applying a ton of product at once. You want this to look like a natural shadow on your eyelid. I also dusted this shade onto the outer third of my lower lash line.
- Use your favorite black eyeliner to draw a thick, dramatic line on your upper lash line, creating a cat-eye flick at the end of your eye. This is going to give you those really sexy, chic “bedroom eyes” that Marilyn Monroe was so famous for.
- Apply tons of black mascara to your upper and lower lash lines. Mascara is what finishes this look off, making your eyes look large and glamorous. If you want to apply false lashes, they would look fabulous with this look. I decided not to, but they would really make this look that much more beautiful.
For my cheeks, I contoured them with a matte bronzer for added definition and applied a light pink blush to the apples of my cheeks only.
For my lips, I applied a fuchsia lip liner (Sephora Nano Lip Liner in Fuchsia) and applied a strawberry-fuchsia lipstick over top of it (Salma Hayek Nuance Lipstick in Passion Pink).
What To Rock This Look With:
- Little Black Dress
- A high hair bun
- Loose, brushed-out curls
- Earrings that match the lip color you chose
- Classic red or bright pink nails
- Diamonds (real or fake!)
- Big black sunglasses
Have fun with this look and make it your own by choosing your own lip color or swapping it out with a different color. Stay tuned for the two other looks in this LORAC Unzipped Eyeshadow Palette Series!
