At NYFW Spring 2014 the Marc Jacobs look was futuristic mixed with retro, a blend of the times. The models sported bleached eyebrows, but since I do not see that as very wearable for most people I opted for a softly defined brow. The look on the models was also a hard linear cut crease. The style of the cut was stripped to the bare bones, no blending just a brown line carved straight through the socket. While I loved the graphicness of this, I chose to blend out the cut in order to once again make this look slightly more wearable and smokey. I do hope you enjoy and try this out for yourself. It is perfect for a night out!
the eyes:
- Start by priming the lid with an eyeshadow primer. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer)
-Apply a cream champagne or white base to the lid. (Maybelline Color Tattoo #Barely Branded)
-Next, blend a matte shadow a few shades darker than your skin tone through the crease. We are using this as a transitions shade. It will help all the shadows to follow blend more easily. (Lorac Pro Palette #Taupe)
-With a flat shader brush apply a matte cream or soft white shadow to the lid and slightly upwards into the crease. (Lorac Pro Palette #White)
-Using a brown kohl eyeliner pencil, draw a line right above your crease while looking straight on into the mirror. Extend the inner corner past the tear duct slightly. Then exaggerate the tail, almost in a slight flick motion. (Jordana 12 hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil #Espresso Last)
-With a pencil brush, smudge a medium brown matte shadow over the liner in the cut crease. (Lorac Pro Palette #Sable)
-Now take a blending brush and apply more of the same medium brown in over the liner and blend upwards only. (Lorac Pro Palette #Sable)
-Using the pencil brush again, mix the medium brown and a dark brown and apply this on top of the liner in a smudging motion. (Lorac Pro Palette #Sable & #Espresso)
-With a blending brush and very little of the medium brown, blend out once again the same line upwards. The key is to build up color slowly and blend more than you think you need to. (Lorac Pro Palette #Sable)
-Apply a matte flesh tone a few shades lighter than your skin to highlight under the brow. (NYX Nude Matte Shadow #I Have A Headache)
-Now line the waterline with the same brown kohl liner. Tightline the upper lashline with this liner also, and extend the inner tear duct to achieve a cat eye effect. (Jordana 12hr Made To Last Liquid Eyeliner #Espresso Last)
-With that liner again, line the outer 1/3 of the upper lashline and extend out into a wing shape. Use a cotton bud and some makeup remover if you need to clean up the edges. (Jordana 12 hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner #Espresso Last)
-Blend out the lower lashline using a pencil brush or a flat definer brush and the medium matte brown shadow. (Lorac Pro Palette #Sable)
-Finish of the eyes by applying a few coats of mascara. (Lorac Pro Mascara)
the lips:
-Line the lips with a nude liner only one shade deeper than your natural lip color. This will make them appear fuller. (Milani Color Statement Lipliner #Nude)
-Apply a nude lipstick that suits your skin tone. (MAC Lipstick #Flair For Finery)
-Top it off with a shimmery nude gloss for extra dimension to the look. (Khroma Beauty Gloss #Summer Honey)
