FFF: Illamasqua HF Arabesque makeup look

Saturday 10 March 2012

Hello my lovelies!

So this weeks FFF is just a rushed one unfortunately, as I tried to get it done yesterday for today.. Inspired by the Human Fundamentalism visuals by Illamasqua in the last blog post (here).
The one I chose to recreate was the Arabesque look:
So without further ado, here are the products used:
Eyes:
> UDPP
> Illamasqua Fundamental palette - Surge, Bedaub & Inception
> Sleek Au Naturel palette - Noir & Bark
> UD 24/7 eye pencil in Zero
> MAC fluidline in Blacktrack
> Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet mascara
> Khuraira ACC in Light
> MAC Studio Finish concealer - NC35
Face:
> Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in 55
> UD Baked Bronzer - Toasted
Lips:
> MAC lipstick in Spitfire & Inception eyeshadow 
> Vaseline

Start by applying UDPP followed by Bedaub (minty green cream pigment) on the eyelid and browbone with a flat brush. Apply Surge (liquid platinum metallic) on the inner corner and buff a little onto the lid. Follow with Inception (purple powder shadow) in the crease extending it to the inner corner area (but remaining in the crease) and a little bit of Noir from the Sleek palette too, blending upwards towards the brow bone. Also extend from the outer corner of the eyes down to the lower lashline. Add more Bedaub or Inception to the crease/browbone as needed and make sure to blend!
Line the inner eye with UD 24/7 liner in Zero and for the top and bottom liner I used MAC fluidline in Blacktrack. Then conceal under the eye, fill in the brows with Bark and Noir (or just one!) and finish with mascara. Using a liner brush, apply Surge to the outside of the brows and make a triangular shape coming down onto the outer bottom lashline like this:
For the rest of the face, the cheeks are just very bronzed, so I used UD Baked Bronzer and used Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in 55.
I didn't have the perfect shade of lilac for the lips so I decided to use my MAC Spitfire purple lipstick (which gears towards pink) but patted Inception eyeshadow with my fingers on top (a fair amount too!) I then added Vaseline on top to make lips shiny (and blend better) and this is what it looked like:
I tried to make it look more authentic with the closest colour scarf I have to gold, but unfortunately its leopard print so not quite the same haha!
So there you have it! It's not exactly the same, I put my own twist on it and blended a bit more rather than a straight cut crease.. but hope you like!

How would you use the Fundamental palette? Which colours did you like best?
