Brush For Highlighter Macdownzup



Hello to all the make up lovers out there! I was recently asked to do a blog post on some of the make up looks I’ve done using the chocolate bar palette by Too Faced, especially as I love it so much, which you will know if you’ve read my first post! So I thought, why not, because although there are plenty of looks on my instagram (laurens_makeupxo) account, if your not following me you won’t see them! Also on here I can explain the application step by step, so here goes…

This first look I wore when I was meeting up with some friends for a few drinks (I’m sorry they are screen shots from my instagram page but it wouldn’t let me crop them for some reason, oops!)

Brush For Highlighter

It is the same idea as the highlighter that I love, only difference is that it is split down the middle and has a blush shade and a highlighter. On first appearance it reminded me alot of the Benefit Fine One One stick that was released a couple of years ago, the only difference is that Fine One One had a contour shade. This highlighter makeup brush is perfect for enhancing all your best features. Even if you’re a beginner, you’ll be able to get your makeup where you want it every time. We design our professional brushes for the everyday enthusiast, so you achieve a look that is 100% you.

1. I put the colour ‘strawberry bon bon’ all over my eyelid 2. I then put the colour ‘milk chocolate in the crease and softly blended it upwards. 3. Using the colour ‘salted caramel’ I got a flat brush and put it onto the crease and blended it out to the outer corner making the crease look like it had more depth. 4. I then put a small amount of the colour ‘marzipan’ on the inner corner of my lid, this colour is lighter making my eyes look brighter. 5. Lastly I went back over the centre of the lid with the colour ‘strawberry bon bon’ making sure there was a real ‘pop’ of colour’.

This next look is a lot more neutral as I was off to work.

1. Over the entire eyelid I used the colour ‘white chocolate’ as I wanted to keep this look as light as possible. 2. I then blended the colour ‘marzipan’ from the middle of the lid to the outer corner. I had to blend quite a lot to make sure there were no hard lines where the two different colours were. 3. I used the colour ‘semi-sweet’ in the crease of the lid and blended this upwards. 4. Lastly I used the colour ‘amaretto’ on the outer corner and blended it down into the crease, this gave off a very slight hint of deep purple.

Brush To Use For Highlighter

For the last look I’m going to show you an evening look.

Highlighter

1. I used the colour ‘semi-sweet’ all over the eyelid. 2. I then blended the colour ‘milk chocolate’ from the crease upwards. 3. In the crease I used a flat brush and blended in the colour ‘triple fudge’ creating a more Smokey look. 4. In the outer corner I then put the colour ‘Black forest’ gradually blending it into the crease slightly. I didn’t blend it all the way across the crease however. 5. I then added the colour ‘marzipan’ to the inner corner of my eye which gave off a really nice light glow. 6. Lastly i added some false eyelashes (Eyelure no.116 – I think, I’ve lost the box now, sorry) because what evening wear look is complete without false eyelashes?!

In each look I have used the Urban Decay eyeliner ‘Ink for eyes’, I love it!!
