Kett Comsetics Look From Make Up Artist Magazine Issue No. 85

So I have a new look, that is sort of inspired by Audrey Hepburn. It isn't her look, its Kett Cosmetics look, but it does have a nice timeless appeal to it, with a nice soft pink lip....So if you are interested read on...




I do a lot of bold looks but every so often I love to go for a classic or more glam look just to put a spin on things...Or if I have a new trick or idea and it involves simplcity I am still proud of the look, especially if I feel it is worth blogging about...



What I like about this look is that you can wear it day or night, and you don't have to add on anything to feel more special, but you don't feel overdone during the daytime...



Every so often you will see bloggers and youtubers posting a series of celebrity looks, or a retro series...I think thats fun because every individual teacher has something to offer that makes the next blog or video over helpful to someone, or a new trick or tip will really pull someone in, and get them really interested in the world of fashion and make up.



I like those series and respect them a lot...but I don't feel like doing a dead on version of Miss Hepburn, I have never really seen a photo I love enough to do a blog about her make up as is, but if I do find that photo, I believe I certainly will indeed break it all down for anyone who wants to read what I have to offer.



So on with the look...



1. First things first...Prep and prime the face...Can't stress that enough, and apply shadow insurance or lid primer to the lid, tear duct, under the eye, and up to the brow bone, and apply lip conditioner or Chapstick.

2. Now apply MAC's Painterly Paint Pot or MAC's Cream Color Base in Nude to the eyelid. These colors are both nude and creamy, and neutralize the lid...Both colors are similar and are matte. Take a creamy concealer if all else fails. Urban Decay also makes a primer potion called Eden, that will work well to prime and neutralize.



3. Take Urban Decay's eyeshadow in ABC Gum (peachy nude color) and MAC's 239, and pat the color all over the Nude or Painterly base.



4. Now take MAC's 227 brush and that same UD ABC Gum shadow and pat it all over the brow bone, and all over the rest of the lid, and the crease.



5. Now take MAC's 222 (tapered blender) and use a blend of MAC's Modelette eyeshadow and MAC's Mulled Cider (Warm & Cozy) if you don't have these MAC's Saddle eyeshadow or any matte or satin finish midtone browns will do, and starting at the outer corner of the eye, blend into the outer corner, and pull it up in the crease about 3/4 of the way for some depth and dimension. Taking the softer brown color blend out the crease again with the 222 to soften and blend it out. Now take UD's ABC Gum, and smooth out the tones again in the crease.



6. Using MAC's Chromographic Pencil in the lightest nude shade or MAC's Naked Liner (Too Fabulous) and apply to the waterline and the tear duct, and using a flat concealer brush, like the MAC 242 (I like this one a lot) and blend out the inner corner highlight.



7. Now take UD's ABC Gum, and pat gently on top of the tear duct highlight.



8. Using MAC's Teddy Eye Kohl (warm shimmery brown) and line under the lower lashline all the way. Using a nice deep midtone brown smudge out the Teddy Eye Kohl with the MAC 219 to set it and soften the line. The eye should appear neutral but a little glam.



9. Now take MAC's gel liner in Black Track the fluid line one, and the MAC 208 or 266, the 212 will work well too, and line the upper lashline with a smooth rounded medium line from tear duct, to end of upper lid...no tail at the end...Just follow the natural lid shape.



10. Now take MAC's Carbon eyeshadow, Black Tied will do as well, any black, an dcarefully set with the same brush.



11. Now take Ardell's Accent Lashes in #301 0r #305, whatever is available or preferred, or simply just take a regular strip of lashes, and cut them in half. Now take the outer corner of the lashes or the accent pair, and adhere them to the outer corner after the application of mascara is applied to upper and lower lashes.



12. Fill in brows, and apply MAC's Chromagraphic Pencil in the lightest naked shade to the outline of the eyebrow all around and then pat and blend into the skin with the MAC 242 concealor brush....the eye will brighten up beautifully.



13. Now apply foundation, and setting powder, contour the face or apply bronzer delicately.



14. Now take a nice peachy blush, I used MAC's Blush Ombre in Ripe Peach, and applied to the contour of the cheek with a tapered blush brush.



15. Now take Urban Decay's 24/7 Lip Crayon in Wicked (soft bright pink) and line and contour the lips.



16. Using NARS Matte Velvet Lip Pencil in Roman Holiday (bright pale pink-cool toned) and fill in lips like a lipstick.

17. Using MAC's Lustreglass Lipgloss in Love Nectar (apricot transclucent color) and paint over the lips for shine and some warmth...
