Makeup Tutorial: Taylor Swift Blank Space

First off, lets just take a moment of appreciation for Miss Swifts new song. I am in love. But more importantly lets appreciate the eye makeup in the video. As Makeup Tutorials are shaping up to be my most popular posts I thought I would do a tutorial on Swifts eye makeup.

Lets GO! 

 Step 1: Apply an eye primer and apply sellotape along the corner of your eye. The sellotape allows for the nice sharp line we want for this look.

Step 2: Apply a white eyeshadow as a base. Then with a small eyeshadow brush similar to the one pictured above, apply a navy colour along the line of the sellotape and work halfway into the crease and halfway into the lash line. ALWAYS BLEND! Apply as much as you like and as dark as you want but constantly blend.

Step 3: Using a small angled brush and black eyeshadow, begin to draw a thinner black like and fill your lash line also.

 Step 5: Apply the black eyeshadow halfway along your waterline with the same angled brush. Fill the rest of your water line with a light blue colour and you are done with the eye. Don't forget to remove the sellotape.

Finished Look 

Add some foundation, contour and fill in your brows. Dont forget to add Taylors signature red lip and you are finished. And yes I am in my dressing gown, it's Sunday!

Here is the video I got this look from: 

Until Monday

Andrea Russett Inspired Eye-Makeup Tutorial

Updated Post HERE!

Andrea Russett, a youtuber from Indiana, has the most incredible eye makeup on the internet(in my opinion)!

Since I started watching Andrea on youtube(link) I have adored her eye makeup and after messing around with some makeup, I thought I would do a tutorial for you guys.

I just want to mention that this is just inspired its not actually how Andrea does her makeup and as she hasnt done a tutorial we don't know how she goes about doing her eyes.

Lets get started!

Step 1:

I prime my eyes using the Maybelline Baby Skin. Honesty, I feel it works better than an Eye Primer.

Step 2:

Using the two lightest colours in my Lovable Luxuries palette(from Primark) I apply them as my base colour going up as far as my crease using the first brush in the picture above. A base colour preps your eyes and makes darker colours apply easier.

Step 3:

Using the angled brush at the far end start outlining the shape of the black eyeshadow. I treat this part as if I was doing a flick as you can see above.

Step 4:

Using the angled brush again I go from the line just made and work my way half way into the crease.

Step 5:

Using the same black and the two pink brushes in the middle fill in the space that was left on the eye previous. 

Step 6:

As you can see in the picture in step 5, the black is quite harsh. So I take my Real Techniques pointed foundation brush to blend it. At this point your eye should look like the above picture.

Step 7:

Add a black pencil eyeliner to your water line and a very thin liquid eyeliner line on your top lash line.

Step 8:

Add a good few coats of mascara to get Andreas long lashes. I use one coat of each mascara pictured above and the Clinique mascara is used on my lower lashes.

Finished:

Add some lipgloss and fix your eyebrows and you've got the Andrea Russett inspired Eye Makeup. This is perfect for Day or Night.

Hope that helps some of ya'll.

See you on Friday!
