When it comes to makeup, I am always faithful to pretty much the same look. Black eyeliner, coral blush and strong brows are the key elements while I like to keep the rest pretty natural. But when I got an email from Clinique introducing me to their new campaign with Zara Larssen, I was intrigued. This incredible video got me completely mesmerized and made me want to try some of the looks for myself. And as much as I love bold lipsticks and dark eye makeup, I knew that the nude & pop looks were right up my street!
I started off by the nude look and I am happy to report that it’s a look that I’ll totally be adopting! The look is very natural, glowy & healthy, pretty much what I wish I looked like when I wake up! I started by applying the vanilla lid pop all over my lids and blending the edges with a soft blending brush. I then use the shade cream pop to define the crease as well as my bottom lashes. I added a few coats of the high impact mascara in black but made sure not to apply too much to keep the look as natural as possible. To give a healthy flush to the face, I applied a bit of the ginger cheek pop on my cheekbones and I finished off with a beautiful nude lip. I first lined my lips using the quickliner for lips intense in the shade intense blush. This made them instantly fuller and a tad bit darker. I finished with a light swipe if the pop lacquer lip colour in the shade wink pop and voilà, I was ready!
The second look was a bit trickier for me since it’s more out of my comfort zone. I started with the cream lid pop that I applied underneath my brow bone and in my inner corner before blending the second shade of the all about shadows quad into my crease. I added quite a few coats of the high impact extreme volume mascara to draw more attention to the eyes. I also used the just browsing brush-on styling mousse to define my eyebrows and give them more shape and body. I then lined my lips using the quickliner for lips in the shade intense hibiscus which is your definition of a bright Barbie pink. At this point, I wasn’t convinced that this look was made for me but after applying the pop glaze sheer lip colour in bubblegum pop I was sold. Although the color is very bright worn with the lip liner, I can totally see me rocking it on its own this summer! I added a pop of color to the cheek with the cheek plum pop blusher as the final touch to the look.
