Selena Gomez - Hands to Myself Inspired Makeup Pic-torial

My face base is already on in this pic-torial. I have used the same primer, foundation and beauty tool with my preferred techniques,  

To start off with the eyes, I've used a primer underneath to extend the wear of the eye shadow while lending vibrancy to the shadows placed from here on.

To remove the tackiness from the primer, I've loosely dusted a shadow close to my natural lid color.

I layered another base on top (optional), this time in black and smudged the kohl out with a small shadow. This helps to evenly thin out the product all across the lid while keeping the shade within the mobile lid.

  

I took the cool light grey shade from Maybelline's The Nudes Palette on a small pencil brush and lightly buffed the shade onto the crease.

  

To lighten this intense dark smokey eye, I opted for a beautiful shimmer like the Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal on a tiny detail brush. This shade subtly adds a sheen to the highest points of my eyebrows.

  

Since it's Valentines' Day, I decided to add just a tiny bit of feminine glam. I reached out for the first matte shade from the Makeup Revolution London's palette in iconic 3, adding this shade lightly across the tops of the crease. Think of it like a light mist of mauve-y pink in the dark night sky. 

  

Since smokey eyes can quickly look terrible, consistent swaps of clean blending brushes performing the tedious blending with patience is key!:)

The eyes are almost done! When in doubt, give it another round of blend:) 

For the lower lash lines, we're going to be using the same shades used on the mobile lid and crease. The black and grey shades, going back and forth with blending while adding color till the desired intensity.

  







I chose to go all out and tight lined my upper lash line and my lower waterline with a long lasting kohl kajal pencil. 

The remaining step is to coat the upper and lower lashes with a few coats of mascara.

  

An intense smokey eye look like Selena's, calls for flawless looking skin. Pick a concealer that is closest to the natural complexion to even out dark under eye circles, to cancel out redness and correct pigmentation concerns.

  

Blend the concealer with a damp beauty blender, give it 20 pumps under running water and dry the sponge off on a kitchen towel. This beauty tool blends face products effortlessly, giving a very close to skin like finish. 

  

Although, my Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer isn't my favorite. I came around to making the ashy shade to look more wearable on my complexion by layering a yellow corrective concealer on top of it.

Once the face paint is well blended in, it is time to ensure they stay put. Set them down with a powder, of your choice.

  

Selena did not look like she had contouring oh her skin, hence contouring is optional. 

A peachy pink-y nude for a blush works as an everyday neutral, especially so for this bold eye look.

  

I chose a light opalescent pearl-y pink shade to brighten up my tear duct areas and used the same eye kohl to highlight the tops of my cheekbones, making small "x" and the cupid's bow. I use the beauty blender to diffuse the highlight in for a soft glow.

  

To finish the look, I outlined the parameters of my lips with a toffee shade of lip pencil and filled the rest of the lips with a peachy nude lip shade.
