Vintage Valentine's Make Up: Sparkly Sexy Seventies!

Love is in the air mon cher & we're getting spruced up from top to toe...starting with our maquillage (that's make up en Anglais!).  We asked make up artist Lucy Freeman for something sparkly, sexy & seventies! ...and here's what she gave us...a fabulous guide to creating the sultry sexy smokey eye look inspired by seventies sex kitten Twiggy.  What makes this look so vintage is the metallic theme-a fab nod to the floors of Studio 54 wouldn't you agree?

Step By Step photo gallery:


STEP ONE
Cleanse and moisturise face. Using an eyeshadow shade similar to your natural brow colour ‘fill in’ and define brows using short strokes with a stiff small angle brush. Prime eye socket and brow bone with concealer.
Kit used: HD Brows: High Definition Brows and Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat in Radiant Touch 1.


STEP TWO
Take a large soft brush (MAC 242 used here) and  ‘pat on’ shade in whole socket with mid-grey metallic shade from Sleek Graphite eyeshadow palette (available from Superdrug nationwide).

STEP THREE
Take a dome shaped soft brush (MAC 222 used here) and a darker grey or black shade and define the natural crease of your socket.  Using your soft large brush blend up to the brows. Take a fine angle brush and using the darker shade line the lower lashes. (MAC 263 used here).


STEP FOUR
Using MAC Eye Kohl in ‘Smoulder’ fill in your upper and lower waterline for real sultry intensity! Using the vanilla white shade from your Sleek graphite palette and a MAC 214 brush pat colour into the inner socket. This will make the eye appear bigger got that ‘doe-eyed’ flutter! Highlight brow bones with Sue Moxley FAMOUS  Shade 2 Dusky Rose highlighter shadow using fingertips.

STEP FIVE
Curl eyelashes (Mister Mascara eyelash curlers used available from Boots nationwide).  Apply volumising mascara (Maybelline Collosal Volum’ Express in Glam Black Waterproof used here) in a zig zag motion along the lashes right in at the root to the edge for even coverage and ultimate false lash effect!  Finish by applying  YSL Touche Eclat under eyes and patting on powder to set the look. A quick spritz of Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting MakeUp Setting spray will have you looking perfect for an entire evening of seduction!
