Rock Chick make-up is very popular, but it's not much of a summer look but oh well i'm going to show you how you can achieve this look:
This style of make-up can make a lot of people uneasy. With it being such a dark look lots of people are too scared to try it out. But trust me, it looks great on everyone. Especially if you're pale, like myself.
Now this is quite an easy tutorial, but if you have trouble with make-up, try it out a few times and you'll get better and better each time. As they say, practice makes perfect. Let's get started.
Ok, so you're going to start off by using a base. I like to use BB cream because it gives a healthy, natural colour without it looking caked on. If you prefer foundation, go for it! This is just my opinion and everyone is different. Apply with a damp sponge, dabbing it on, not rubbing. You could also use a brush, but i find that using a brush uses up a lot more product.
Now, you're going to draw a line where your cheek bones are (you can find this out by sucking in your cheeks), the side of your nose and on your jaw line with bronzer. Yes you'll look like you're ready for war, but trust me when it's blended in you'll look like a chiselled Barbie doll. If that's what you're aiming for, of course. You'll blend it out with a fluffy brush, until there are no harsh lines.
You're going to apply blusher to the apples of your cheeks. It's much easier if you smile, that way you'll get it in exactly the right place. Remember, little and often, if you go all guns blazing you'll look like a clown so do it moderately slow and apply every now and again.
As you can see i've filled in my eyebrows. If you've read my other make-up tutorial you'll know just how easy it is to do. So go back and read it, you can click here (much easier).
Ready for the next bit, you'll have to apply white eye liner all over your eyelid. This will make the colours that we're going use appear much brighter. It acts the same was as primer does.
Then you're going to apply a purple colour, this is your choice, i chose a violet colour because it complements my skin tone. But you can use which ever colour you want.
As you'll see from the photo above i used a crease brush to lightly apply black to the outer corners of my eyes then what was left on my brush i carried across my lid to create a smokey effect.
Then i smudge a small amount of black eye shadow under my eyes. Don't do too much or you'll look like a panda.
This part is optional, but i prefer to apply the lashes because of all the black eye shadow it'll be hard to see your natural lashes. If the band of your lashes are white like mine are, don't forget to cover it with black liner so as it'll blend in with the eye shadow.
You're then going to apply mascara to the tops and bottoms of your lashes, if you've put false lashes on, this will bind your own lashes with them, making them look natural.
To complete the make-up apply a plum lipstick. Preferably with a lipstick brush, it's easier. The apply a tiny bit of white shadow to the centre of your bottom lip. This will give your lip depth.
And the final step to rocking this look is to do an awesome hairstyle and add accessories. I've quiffed my fringe up and added a head scarf.
And there you go, this look is great for winter, autumn, a night out or a day in with friends. I hope you can do something similar if you do why not send me a picture on twitter. I'd love that.
Thanks for reading.
