Luxure | Guerlain Rouge G L’Extrait Makeup Look

Guerlain-Luxure-Rouge-G-Lextrait-Lip3

I was inspired by Natalia Vodianova’s look in Guerlain’s Fall 2012 promotional photo for the Rouge G L’Extrait I reviewed this week.  I chose a warm golden eye with hints of bronze, kept the skin pale, with slight bronzing on the cheeks, and because I couldn’t resist– a little highlight on the cheekbones.  Her eye look was very simple and featured the Guerlain Fall 2012 Color Collection palette but I chose to use shades in my own collection to try and recreate it.  I would normally not leave the eyes liner-less, but felt with the bold lip and with the shimmer on the lids, it felt right to keep the eye area less weighed down.  I would have added some falsies to this look, but at the time I did not have any individuals on hand, so I would definitely ad some to the ends in the future.  All in all, I think this look would be perfect for a holiday party, simple, but glamorous, and with a little bit of shimmer on the lids (which I always love!)

Face:
Maybelline FitMe foundation Nude Beige
Rimmel Stay Matte translucent setting powder
NYC Bronzer in Sunny

Eyes:
MAC Woodwinked on lid, with a combination of Urban Decay’s Snakebite and Mac Prolongwear in Lie Low (to add more of a bronze look) in the outer V area.  To add more dimension I added a warm rust shade in the inner crease with a pencil brush and slightly softened it by blending the edges.  For this I used Sigma Beauty Reveal eyeshadow from the Dare palette.
I used Sigma Beauty white eyeliner pencil (from the Defining Eyes palette) to line my lower waterline.

Lips:

      Thank you Kristen! :) I try to put a lot of thought into it and have gotten to where I like to make the first photo more artistic -it is something I am really enjoying! Thank you for the compliment! <3
