So I decided to do a Makeup Look using my first Mac Lipstick - Diva. It is such a beautiful Burgundy shade with Red undertones. I kept the eyes simple for the lips to be the focus. Let's begin with the tutorial.
Products Used:
Face:
I skipped foundation and used the concealer on the high points of my face, also I kept my face matte and the only glow/sheen that came was from the Blusher.
- L'oreal Paris Hydra-Total 5 Ultra Hydrating Gel-Cream.
- L.A. Girl Pro Concealer - Creamy Beige.
- Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Peach Glow.
- Milani - Baked Blush - Luminoso.
Tools Used:
- Real Techniques Blush Brush.
- Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge.
- e.l.f. Kabuki Brush.
- e.l.f Small Tapered Brush.
Eyes:
- L.A. Girl Pro Concealer - Creamy Beige.
- Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Peach Glow.
- LORAC Pro 2 Palette - Buff, Snow, Lt. Brown, Cool Gray, Beige)
- Color Studio Professional Hypno Black Eye Marker.
- Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara.
- Rimmel - Exaggerate Eye Definer - In The Nude.
Tools Used:
- MAC Lipstick - Diva
Steps:
Eyes:
- After prepping my eyes with concealer and setting them with powder, I blended the Lt. Brown shade in my crease and above it making sure I don't take it up to my brow-bone.
- I buffed in the Cool Gray shade on the outer corner of my eyes and into my crease. Make sure you don't take it above the crease, keep it nice and precise in the crease.
- I packed in the shade beige on to the the lid focusing it more in the inner part and blending it with the Cool Grey on the outer corner of my eyes.
- With Snow layered over Buff, I highlighted the brow bone and the inner corners.
- I went over my crease again with Lt. brown to blend everything so there were no harsh lines.
- After applying the winged eye-liner, I lined my lower lash line with cool grey and smoked it out a little with Lt. Brown.
- I lined my water line with the Nude Eye pencil and applied the mascara to my lashes. Two coats for the upper lash and one for the bottom.
- After finishing the eyes I wiped the under eye area with a makeup removing wipe and moved on to the face makeup.
Face:
- I kept my face very simple for this look. No foundation and no contouring.
- After moisturizing with my favorite L'oreal Hydra Total, I only used a concealer under my eyes (in a triangle shape), in the middle of my forehead, bridge of the nose and little on the chin. With a damp Real Techniques Sponge I blended it in tapping motion and set it immediately with the pressed powder.
- With Stay Matte, I lightly powdered the rest of my face.
- For Blush, I used Luminoso focusing it more on the apple of my cheeks and blending it back.
Lips:
- I applied two layers of Mac Diva on already moisturized lips. I recommend lining your lips with a lip pencil or brush first so the application is neat.
So there's the final look. Luminoso paired up beautifully with the dark bold lip. I love how Diva looks on me, it looks slightly darker than in the pictures here. Also the necklace is from Urban Chic - I love this chunky statement necklace.
I hope you liked this look, I'm planning to start doing spring Makeup looks. I also upload tutorials on my Snapchat (gulexehra) so make sure you follow me there. If you have any suggestion for a makeup look, leave it down below.

DeleteLove that lip color. I'm all about dark colors, especially from the red family, though I go through phases of being hooked to either sheer nudes or glaring bolds! And if I have do do my eyes too, with a dark lip, ideally I love a smouldering Smokey dramatic eye! Yes, when I'm out for it, I'm totally out ��
