Today's makeup look is inspired by Beyonce's Grown Woman (Bonus Video) video from her new self titled visual album Beyonce. When I saw the look she has in the start of this video, I couldn't get enough of it. I was sure to try it, even though I knew it would never look as good on me. If you haven't seen it yet, I found the video online here.
The look is very shimmery and glowy. Light grey silver eyes with neutral lips and heavy contour and highlight.
I used a highlighting primer to prep my skin before putting on foundation, since her look in this video is really glowy. Then I put on foundation. On the top of the cheek and on the cheek bone I put white based cream highlighter. I also put it on the nose and on the cupids bow. A little also on the middle of the chin and forehead. It didn't seem like she had blush, but just a grey brown contour. I contoured my cheeks, jaw bone, a little around the chin, my nose and sides of forehead. I used light concealer to highlight under eye area in a V like shape. I also did my brows a bit darker then usual, since her eyebrow color was a lot darker then her hair color.
For the eyes, I started with putting brownish grey shade all over my lid. Blending it into the crease with a light silver shade with a brown undertone. I also took this shade up to the brows. I took even lighter true silver shade and put it right on the brow bone and in the middle of the crease.
I also put the brownish grey shade on the lower lid and underneath it blended a little of the lighter silver shade. I then put a true silver shade in the inner corner of the eye. I used a little bit of a black eye shadow to make a thin liner and winged it out just a little. I find that Beyonce wears a lot of those grey brownish shades in every day makeup.
The lips were nude with a bit of a brown liner. The nude was also a bit on the pink side. It's also one of her signature lips shades. I used my only brown lipstick to use it as an lip liner around my lips. Then I took concealer and dabbed it all over the lips. I finishes with a cool toned pink lip gloss with silver shimmer. Her lips were very gloss, but I assume that it was just pinkish nude lipstick with transparent lip gloss. Since I don't have the right cool pink lipstick I just did it my own way.
I don't think greys look particulary good on me, since I look better in warm toned colors. This look is perfect for very fair ladies or for those with cool skin tone. It's also a pretty natural look if you exclude the extreme highlight and contour (which by the way is of course barely seen on my camera :) ).
