FACE |
|
|
| Foundation / Concealer
|
Vivica's look is pure Hollywood glamour, which means every feature is flawless. To get picture perfect skin start with a liquid foundation. After applying moisturizer, dab a small amount of foundation to the back of your hand. Using the tip of your finger, dab foundation to the areas of your skin that need evening out, smoothing into skin in fanning motion. Work in small areas and don't completely cover the face. The idea is to even out skin tone, not to completely mask your face.
Once you've applied your foundation, use your fingertips or a brush with a pointed tip to apply concealer under the eyes and on any spots or blemishes that need extra concealing. When applying under eyes, use downward, curved strokes, stopping near the center of the eye. Set the concealer by blotting a pressed powder on blemishes.
|
| Blush |
Apply a deep rose blush with a large blush brush to apples of cheeks and along cheek bones. After applying to cheeks, use what's left on the brush to dab along temples, brow and chin to soften lines.
Dust face lightly with a large powder brush with either a loose powder or a body shimmer. (Tap brush after dipping in powder to reduce the amount of powder. You don't want to see the powder, it's just to make sure that your makeup will last all night.) If you use the body shimmer, dust a little on your shoulders and cleaveage for a little extra dazzle!

| EYES |
|
|
| Eyelid | To recreate Vivica's bedroom eyes, start by first applying either concealer or an eye base to the entire eye area. Use an all over shadow brush with a tapered head to apply a violet or lavender shadow to the entire lid.
|
| Crease |
Using a crease brush, or a contoured brush, apply a plum shadow to the crease of the eye, starting at the outer corner to the inner corner. If you have one of the new wet/dry shadows, lightly dabbing the brush in water first will give a deeper, longer lasting color.
|
| Hilite |
Use a flesh tone shadow like a sand or shell to hilite the area under the brow to the beginning of the crease.
|
| Eyeliner |
Try using a wet/dry black eye shadow to recreate Vivica's perfectly lined lids. You'll want to use an angled liner brush. Dip it in water and then into the shadow. You'll have to play around with this a couple of times to get the right consistency. If it's too wet, it will run when you're applying it. Start with the inner corner of the eye, apply liner in quick short strokes, layering over the previous stroke. (About four strokes for lower, six for upper.)
|
Brows |
Don't forget your brows! Try a brow stenciling color kit for Vivica's movie star perfect brows or a brown brow powder with a stiff angled brush.
|
Mascara |
Use two light coats of black mascara. Curling your lashes beforehand will create a bright-eyed effect. You may want to separate lashes with a lash comb when mascara dries to maximize the natural look. |
LIPS |
|
|
|
BeautyRiot suggests using a rust or brown red lip liner and filling in with a rose lipstick. Dab a small amount of gloss on top.
