Tutorial: Topshop Sandstorm Makeup How-to!
Hello eberybody~ Today's post will be a makeup tutorial featuring Topshop's Sandstorm line of makeup!
But before we start, I'd like to thank Sonia for being my guinea pig model! Although I did the makeup this time round, my makeup-artist-friend Clarissa Glass actually came up with the look whereas I just butchered it with my own methods! Thank you girls :'D
We filmed an earlier version with Clarissa doing the makeup on me instead, but just look at my face and you'll know why we failed. Thank you to Seizure and Dinesh for being my camera(wo)men for the video tutorials!
Disclaimer: I'm by no means a makeup artist, so some of the makeup techniques witnessed here may be highly unorthodox! :o
Here's what you'll need:
- Eyes - "Solar Cell"
- Eyes - "Glint"
- Gloss Stick - "Ablaze"
- Cheek Duo - "Desert Sun"
- Black Liquid Eyeliner
- White Eyeshadow/Highlighter
- Fake Eyelashes
- Vaseline (not pictured)
The Tutorial!
Step 1: Apply foundation, and conceal any blemishes if necessary.
Step 2: Apply a thin layer of Vaseline on your eyelids.
Step 3: Using a brush, cover your lid area with blue "Solar Cell" pigments.
Step 4: Apply "Glint" eyeshadow to the outer third of your lid. Brush it along the crease of your eyes to create the illusion of deeper eyes.
Step 5: Sweep blue "Solar cell" pigments across your lower lids.
Step 6: Apply white eyeshadow or highlighter to the inner corner of your eyes.
Also use it to highlight your brow bone!
Step 7: Apply eyeliner!
Step 8: Stick on fake eyelashes!
Step 9: Add contours to your face using "Desert Sun". Sweep the brush along the side of your face in the 3 motion shown above.
Step 10: Apply "Ablaze" gloss to your lips!
And you're done! If you'd like to try out this look, I really recommend watching the video.
