Kareena Kapoor Inspired Monochromatic Look

Hello all you beautiful people! I hope you had a fantastic New Year celebration and 2014 has been great to you so far! Todays look is inspired by the beautiful Kareena Kapoor; if she isn't sporting a heavy cat eye, she probably has a clean simple look. This look is very wearable and great for a day time affair or an evening out.  Let's get started...

These are the products I used on my face; this Rimmel BB Cream is amazing - it doesn't make you feel or look oily, and has great coverage - a perfect product for everyday! And the product next to the Moon Beam is Bare Minerals "Warmth" - a nice buildable bronzer that adds some colour to your face.

This look only requires one palette - the Urban Decay Naked Palette. But don't worry if you don't have this exact palette...all you'll need is a nice vibrant gold colour, and a nude colour similar to your skin colour. Start off my applying eye shadow primer to your entire lid.

 

 

Step 1: Apply an eye shadow base all over your lids - I used Two Faced Eye Shadow Insurance.

 

Step 2: Select a light brown colour or one similar to your skin tone - I used Naked from the Urban Decay Naked Palette.

 

Step 3: Using windshield wiper motions, swipe this colour into your crease ensuring you don't place colour too high up.  Kareena's look is not a heavy look - we are doing this to mimic her deep set eyes. If you already have deep set eyes, you can skip this step.

 

Step 4: Build up that colour until it reaches your desired intensity.



Step 5: Select a vibrant gold eyeshadow. I used Half Baked from the Urban Decay Naked Palette.

Step 6: Pat this colour onto your lids. Be sure to pat it and not sweep it. We want this colour to be vibrant and pigmented.

Step 7: Build this gold colour until it has a nice metallic look to it.

Step 8: Line your inner lids (both top and bottom) with a dark liner pencil. I used Urban Decays liner in Zero.

Step 9: Taking that same light brown colour (Naked), swipe a small amount under your eyes to give it a light shadow.

Step 10: Curl those lashes!

Step 11: Apply lots of mascara to top and bottom lashes. Kareena has her natural lashes in this picture so no need for falsies today. Unless of course you want to add false lashes!

Step 12: Moisturize your lips and then apply a golden brown colour to your lips - no lip liner needed today - we are going to a soft look :) I used Avon's Mocha lipstick.

And here's the completed look! Super simple and very wearable!

 

I hope you liked this look as much as I do! 

 

Thanks for coming back...love you all...
