Victoria's Secret Inspired Make-Up

Hi everyone!

This makeup look was inspired by the VS runway from 2007. The look was featured in Allure magazine from that year, and the magazine specifically called for a "shimmery nude shadow" with a "grey-brown shadow" to contour the eye. It was paired with a peachy blush.

Now of course, this look is INSPIRED by the show - I added a bit of golden colour to make it a bit warmer and natural looking. But that's obviously not necessary to do :)

The colours used were:

FACE: (not shown)
Bare Minerals Original Foundation in 'Fairly Light' applied with a MAC Kabuki brush.
MAC concealer in NC15

CHEEKS:
NARS blush in 'orgasm'

EYES:
Beig-ing shadestick from MAC
MAC E/S in Honesty
MAC E/S in Patina
MAC E/S in Bronze
MAC E/S in Amber Lights
MAC Eyeliner in Carbon
Shu Umeura eyelash curler
Loreal Voluminous mascara in Black

NOTE: All of these products were purchased by me; this is not a sponsored video.

Additional note: I do use MAC products in this video, but the look is easy to recreate with drugstore brands. I've shown the colours so that you can match them with a different brand if you would like. I tend to use MAC products because I receive a discount as a make-up artist, and it makes sense financially to buy a product that is both fantastic and cheaper for me!
