Do you remember when Princess Diana died?
My mother made us all (boys included) gather round the TV set and watch everything that aired about her--the various news updates, the documentary on her life, and the funeral. Praised her to the skies. etc. Made quite an impression on me.
There's a lot of stuff to admire about the Princess.
Humanitarian work, lovely personality, the way she impacted the world and spoke out about stuff that was supposed to be hush-hush. I love how she endured a hell of a lot in her private and public life, but made the best of it. Always a cheerful smile.
I've been inspired by her of late. There are some many well done documentaries & clips of her on youtube which I've been watching in my free time. I would love to emulate her on many levels.
Today I decided to do a Princess Diana inspired makeup.
Soft champagne gold and peachy tan on eyes, with blue eyeliner, blue mascara.
Orange-y frosty lipstick.
Tinted moisturizer/bronzer.
By the way: liquid bronzer? Apply with a contour brush instead of with fingers.
Makes a WORLD of difference!
Things of note:
That she didn't go overboard with the base.
That she stuck with blue eyeliner/mascara her whole life, and with good reason. It makes you seem ALERT & well-rested. And blue mascara is terrific for bringing out the *Whites* of ones eyes, cancelling out any bloodshot-ness...
She did go more browns/golds as she got older, but the blue made an appearance every once in a while.
On a regular basis, her lipstick seemed a very sheer glimmery barely-there colour, something like Estee Lauder Tiramisu.
This look is perfect for winter, as it makes you look vibrant and fresher than usual!!
Being a terrible blogger--these are all phone pics, not the best quality. It looks much prettier in real life, esp the bronzer. I just love that stuff.
Items used
Omorovicza SPF Complexion Enhancer & Sunkiss bronzer
Diorskin Nude Sculpting Powder
Lise Watier concealer wheel (Portfolio les beiges)
Lise Watier Sublime lipstick in Gala
Annabelle Creme Caramel Trio
Lise Watier waterproof eyeliner in Teal & Cover Girl Liqui'line in Blue Boom
Quo mascara in blue
I know certain aspects of my face are a disgrace, but it's fun to pretend to be a brunette Natalia Vodianova.
If GUERLAIN stand behind her, fuzzy brows and all, surely I, with no contract to speak of, may breathe easy?
Oh by the way, here's a face chart that Princess Diana's first makeup artist created for her when she was younger! Source
Let me end with my favourite picture of her...
