Celebrity Inspired: Adriana Lima




Here's my attempt at Adriana Lima inspired make up.  I think what makes her's look so good is that she has super bright blue eyes and lines the eyes heavily with black liner, so they really pop.  Unfortunately, I can't do that... so it doesn't really have the same affect.  lol  But!  It's a look inspired by her makeup, so there we go!

According to my reference picture:

Key Elements:
  • She's obviously pretty tan, so bronzer is a must.
  • The eyeshadow is pretty neutral, which the eyeliner is thick and black.
  • Doesn't look like she really wears anything on her lips other than a gloss.
  • If I was going to do this again, I would have smoked out the liner with my Sigma E30 brush.  But hindsight is 20/20!  lol


Main colors I used:
  • MAC e/s in Brule (matte cream color)
  • MAC e/s in Carbon (dark matte black)
  • Urban Decay e/s in Buck (matte medium brown)
  • MAC e/l in Smoulder
  • Bobbi Brown e/s in Cement (a subtle shimmery taupe)
Brows are filled in with Bobbi Brown e/s in Mahogany (a matte dark brown).

On the cheeks, I used Stila Sun SPF 15 bronzer in Shade 01 and MAC blush in Gingerly.

On the lips, I used just chapstick with Stila Plumping Lip Glaze in Citrus Mint (I can really see the plumping effect here.... lol.  Wow!).


Side Note: My Sephora box is expected to get here in the beginning of January.  One of the prizes I want in my giveaway is in there, so we're just going to have to wait a few days even though I've got 101 subscribers!  I'm so excited!  I just want to be able to post a picture of the loot when I do the post about it!  :)

Thanks for subscribing!
