Remember last week when I posted about a new collaboration I'm taking part in,
#BeautiesOnFire? Well, it's time for our first posts! The theme chosen for our first "proper" week was
Classic Beauty. You can check out Elisabeth's post
here for the link-up with all the other #BeautiesOnFire, and read on below to see my take on the theme!
For me, classic beauty means porcelain skin, black eyeliner and the timeless red lip - not a look I wear very often, so I decided to keep things pretty simple! I kept my skin pretty basic with just foundation and concealer, opting to skip blusher and highlighter so that the focus could be on my features. I then whacked a thick layer of lipbalm on to prep my lips.
I've filled in my brows because to me, a strong brow is so important to frame the face. I then went for a slightly winged liner using a dampened angled brush and a black powder eyeshadow, with a tiny bit of kohl blended under my lower lashline too. Plenty of mascara finished off my eyes (Chanel, darling!), and for my lips I tissued off the lipbalm before using a nude lipliner beneath a matte red lipstick.
Overall, I quite like the look I ended up with, but it's not one I see myself wearing on a regular basis. If anything, this has reminded me why I don't wear a statement lip very often - it really emphasises how wonky my lips are! What does "classic beauty" mean to you? Do you wear a "classic" look often?

I like this look, I think it really suits you!
ReplyDeleteI really like your eye brows. They are well shaped. Beautiful look.
ReplyDeleteI love this look, your lips aren't wonky at all. I am hugely into the 'classic' look, but sometimes add some glitter eyeliner instead and wear a paler lip colour.
ReplyDeleteI definitely chose the photos where my wonky lips were least obvious! Haha xo
DeleteI love this look I think I need to get a red lipstick I usually do this look with more of a pinky tone lip.
ReplyDeleteI love the classic look, the porcelain skin and red lips, you look amazing. x
ReplyDeleteI think this is a gorgeous classic look, you look fantastic! With my freckly face it doesn't really work for me, but perhaps I should try a nod towards it.
ReplyDeleteOh I love freckles though! They always look so fresh-faced and youthful ♥
DeleteYou look stunning girl!!! I love this look on you and I believe the red lip suits you! You totally don't have wonky lips haha! The red lip makes your whole face pop and it is stunning!!
ReplyDeleteI love your make up here - it doesn't look too overdone, it's natural and beautiful - perfect for Summer :)
ReplyDeleteI like classic make-up, it's timeless. I do enjoy wearing a red lip from time to time it's powerful x
ReplyDeleteI really liked your look and I didn't agree with you when you said bad things about your lips! I don't wanna see that again... Agreed? Btw you should actually rock it more often!!!! I think it looks great on you

You look incredible!!! Red lips are the BEST to pull everything together and make the outfit! I focused more on fashion in my post, but I did red lips too!!!

This looks good on you though! Sometimes less is more. :) my look was similar to yours lol.
ReplyDeleteI really love this look on you. I think the red lips actually make you look very doll like in a good way. If you ever need to get your way, play up that adorable card 100% girl! ;) I went blush free for this week's look too. But I'm never sure if it's because I like my other features or because I'm a little lazy unless I'm Trying to use up blush...
ReplyDeleteyou look lovely :) loved the lip color!
ReplyDeleteGreat eyeliner - a make up I cannot seem to master!

ReplyDeleteThat red lippie looks gorgeous on you! Definitely a classic look :)
ReplyDeleteYes, this is indeed a classic look and it suits you really well. This the kind of makeup I used to wear quite often back in the day. Not the case anymore because I can't make the eyeliner look as good anymore.
