Claire’s base was prepared with Smashbox primer, and smoothed over with MAC studio fix fluid, with a dab of Laura Mercier concealer under her eyes, Clinique touch base for eyes on her lids, and everything set with a very light dusting of Benefit Bluff Dust powder.
Her eyes are a MAC pigment joy!
MAC shadow in Llama was dusted over her lids, from lash to brow, to act as a blending base, then pigments in the following shades, from left to right -
Frost
Bright Fuchsia
Basic Red
Orange
Primary Yellow
True Chartreuse
Landscape Green
Azreal Blue
Marine Ultra
Deep Purple
Dark Soul
I started with the bright fuchsia and using a narrow brush, pressed a vertical line onto her lid, then, with the same sized brush, pressed the basic red onto her lid, and did the same with all the colours.
Taking a very narrow brush (a concealer brush actually!), I blended each shade into the next one, to make a softly blended line.
the frost was gently pressed in under the lashes, into the inner corner, and under the eyebrow, finishing with a slick of Lancome L’Extreme Mascara and a whisper of NARS orgasm blush.
Claire’s lips are naturally well pigmented, so I pressed in some clinique Black Honey lipstick with my fingertip, to get a stain.
