Makeup How To

Golden Goodess Makeup How-To

1. Apply foundation. With a foundation brush, swipe on foundation from the sides of your nose, blending it outward. The lightest part of your face should always be the center, and starting there will give you that desired effect. Model Denise Bidot used Revlon ColorStay Makeup Foundation.
2. Pat on bronzer and then blend it. Using clean fingertips first, pat on a liquid bronzer, like Revlon PhotoReady Skinlights Face Illuminator in “Bronze Light,” along your hairline, on the tops of your cheekbones, and along your jawline. Then take a bronzer brush, and on the right side of your face, follow a “3” shape, starting at your hairline, bringing the brush down and in to cover your cheekbones, and then back out and down along your jawline. This technique mimics where the sun would naturally highlight. On the left side of your face, do the same, creating an “E” formation, and then dust the excess product down your nose.
3. Press gold cream eye shadow onto your eyelids. Run your pointer fingertip over a gold cream shadow, and then apply it from your lash line all the way past the crease of your eye to create your base color and give a pop of shimmer to your eye. Try the gold shade in the Revlon Illuminance Creme Eyeshadow Palette in “Precious Metals.”
4. Line your upper and lower lash lines with a golden-bronze eyeliner. This gives your eyes dimension and a subtle shimmer along your lashes. Try Revlon ColorStay Eye Liner in “Topaz.”
5. Trace your crease with eyeliner and create two triangles to give a dual smoky effect.Using a black eyeliner pencil, like Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in “Black,” draw a line that follows your crease, starting at the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner, and then create a small triangle at the inner corner of your eye and a larger one at the outer corner. Next, buff the color with a stiff, domed eye shadow brush to create a smoky effect. Then coat your lashes with mascara, like Revlon Bold Lacquer Length + Volume Mascara.
6. Finish your look with a gold lip. First, swipe on golden-bronze balm, like Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm in “Coy,” and then pat on a pressed gold eye shadow, like Revlon ColorStay Shadowlinks Eyeshadow in “Gold.”

Boom, you’ve officially reached golden goddess status. Now go get your girls’ night out on, but don’t forget to pin, Instagram, and tweet out your gorgeous gilded look.
