How to get...the ultra feminine makeover
Have you ever wanted to look like a runway model? Well thanks to this get the look makeover inspired by the Valentino show by Max Factor Global Creative Design Director, Pat McGrath, you can.
The ethereal look is super neutral and suits the softer complexions and pretty lace, cotton wardrobes. It's a great look for bother summer and winter, as it is neutral, bright and fresh faced.
1. To start with the look, add an even coverage of foundation to the face. You want to find one that will add warmth and a velvet tone to the skin. A tinted moisturiser or foundation and serum would also help to give the skin that creamy look, while keeping it hydrated.
2. For the blusher, find a pinky, rose colour as this will add a flush of colour which is important to add tone to the complexion. Aim the colour at the high contours of the face, the cheekbones and temple in particular.
3. If you want to bring continuity to the whole look on the face, then lightly dap some blush onto the eye lids for colour and definition. Add more colour to the corner of the lids to give it the darker, smoky finish.
4. Highlighters are a brilliant way to brighten up the skin and keep the feminine look across the face. Apply under the eyes and under around the nose to cover up any shadows and to add a freshness to the face that may not always be captured with foundation.
5. Mascara is an important aspect to the ethereal look as it helps to capture the expression in the eyes. The trick is to go for a mascara that add length to the lash without making them too glamorous looking. This will make the look a little top heavy and not the natural statement as intended.
A mascara like Max Factor's False Lash Effect Mascara in black will add volume to the lash and help to create the length and definition required. Gently bring the wand from root to tip of the lash and comb them into place.
6. Finish the look with a sheer, pale gloss to add a kissability to the look without adding too much colour.
Why not have a go at a messy halo or fishtail braid to keep the almost goddess-esque look going. For the natural look, keep it tousled.
And there you have it....
