Updated: Andrea Russett Makeup Tutorial

I am quite amazed at how many views my Andrea Russett Tutorial has racked up since it was put up. I know myself that copying Andrea's look is very difficult as she has never done a tutorial on YouTube. Since I put up my post Andrea has went through a bit of a makeup change and I, myself have improved at her eyeshadow look and I am here to do an updated version of Andrea's makeup look.

Lets Get Started!

Step 1: I begin with filling in my eyebrows using the Collection Work The Colour Eyebrow Kit and an Angled Brush from H&M. I then continue and apply my Concealer and Foundation. The Foundation and Concealer I used to do this look is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Cool Medium and the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Foundation in Soft Beige. I then set my foundation with the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in Transparent. Finally I contour my cheekbones with the Benefit Hoola Bronzer.

Step 2: If you want your eyeshadow to last all day, prime your eyes! I use the Maybelline Baby Skin Primer as used in my previous tutorial as I find it works just as good as an eye primer.

Step 3: Using a blending brush I apply black eyeshadow. Start from the corner of your eye and work in halfway. The pictures above are done step by step. I am using Blackout from the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. Then taking the brush that comes with the Naked palette, I use the fluffy side of the brush to blend out any harsh lines. 

Remember: There is no such thing as too much blending.

Keep adding eyeshadow until you reach your desired shade but keep blending!!

Step 5: When you are happy with the shade of the eyeshadow add a thin line of black eyeliner to the lash line, the tight line and halfway into the waterline.

Step 6: As you can see from the above picture Andrea has very long eyelashes. I'm not sure if she wears false eyelashes but with the right products you can achieve her eyelashes without the hassle of falsies. 

I use the Benefit They're Real Mascara on my top lashes and the Urban Decay Perversion mascara on my bottom lashes. I know for a lot of people that's way too much money for Mascara but fear not because the Rimmel London Accelerator Endless Mascara does the same job for much cheaper.

I don't curl my eyelashes because I hate the feeling of it but when I apply my mascara I have a clean mascara brush beside me to separate any eyelashes that may stick together.

JE SUIS FINI!

Here is the finished look:

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:
