1. To start the eyes I used MAC Prep and Prime in "Raiant Rose" all over the eyelid, followed by the LORAC eyeshadow primer. I taped the side of her eye to give a crisp, cat eye look. All of the shadows used in this look were from the LORAC Pro palette. I began working the shade "Taupe" into the crease on a Sigma E40 brush. I took the color "Sable" on a Sigma E25 brush and worked that directly into the crease, to give it a darker look. Once both shadows were blended out, I grabbed "Expresso" on a Sedona Lace EB15. I worked this shadow in the outer v. It gave the cat eye a darker look. Once the darker shadows were blended, I took the shade "Cream" and put it all over the remainder of the lid using a Sigma E55 brush, and I also highlighted the brow bone with this shade. To kick the look up a notch, I applied NYX pigment in the shade "Iced Mocha" all over the center of the eyelid. This will draw more attention to the middle of the eyes.
2. To line the eyes, I used a black kohl liner and smudged it out with the shade "Black" from the LORAC Pro palette. I tight lined the upper and lower waterline using L'Oreal Voluminous eyeliner. I prepped the lashes for false eyelashes with the Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara. After a few coats, I applied Red Cherry lashes in "43".
3. To start prepping the face for makeup, I misted her with MAC Fix Plus all over. Once that dried, I applied Korres Greek Yogurt primer all over. This helps the longevity of the makeup. For foundation I used Makeup Forever Matte Velvet Plus. She has combination to oily skin, so this is a great full coverage foundation. To apply the foundation I used a Sigma F80 brush. To highlight the face I used MAC Prep and Prime in "Light Boost" on the bridge of the nose, forehead, chin, corners of the mouth, and jawline. This will bring these features forward. To highlight under the eyes I used MAC Prolongwear in "NW20". To blend the highlights out I used a Sigma F86 brush.
4. To set all of the liquids in place I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit. I mixed the shades "Banana" and "Vanilla" on a Sigma F25 brush and applied it to all of the places I had highlighted with liquid, including the under eye area. To contour the face I used the shades "Havanna" and "Fawn" on a Sigma F05 brush. I placed the contours along the hair line, jawline, down the neck, and in the hollows of the cheeks. As for blush, I wanted to keep it somewhat neutral so I used MAC "Peaches" on a MAC 168 brush. I blended this into the contour. As for a highlight on top of the cheekbones, I used MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in "Soft and gentle".
5. Naturally, Sierra has great eyebrows. We lost them a little bit with all of the liquids and powders, so to redefine them I used the Anastasia Brow Wiz in "Brunette". I lightly filled them in, and then set them with a clear brow gel.
6. As for lips, Sierra loves her bold lips. She is a huge fan of dark, red lips. We wanted to switch up shades and formulations of what she regularly wears. First, I lined her lips using MAC lip liner in "Cherry", and filled them in half way. This will ensure no bleeding from the lipstick. For lipstick I used, Lime Crime's "Glamour 101". It was the perfect dark red, with a great creamy formulation. It didn't dry the lips out at all. I set the lips with a translucent powder.
7. Going back to the eyes, I worked a tiny bit of the color "Sable" and "Taupe" on a Sigma E30 onto the lower lash line. I needed to balance the top shadows out. Next, I lined her eyes with the kohl liner, and finished her off with some bottom mascara.
8. To set all of the makeup in place, I used Model in a Bottle setting spray in the sensitive skin formulation. This will ensure a full night's wear of the makeup.

I LOVE how this look came out! We went into it without any ideas, but just made it work with bouncing ideas off of one another. I always love working with my clients because each one is awesome, but Sierra is always a blast to work with! She looked beautiful with this classic red lip look. XO!
