Sexy Socialite: How to get the look

This Sexy Socialite look took inspiration from Loris Diran’s Fall ’09 runway collection – reminiscent of the boy meets girl in Gotham era. It’s sophisticated, but not uptight. To set an era specific makeup mood, the color palette is made up of dark smoldering colors and pearlescent tones - very sexy with a hint of drama.

The Look:
False lashes are placed on the top of the lash line. Wall Street Onyx Pressed Eye Shadow is used in the crease to create depth in the eye. Empire State Platinum Pressed Eye Shadow is used on the lid to create a smoky effect. Wall Street Onyx is used again on the bottom lash line as eyeliner to create a dramatic effect. This is the sexy part of the look. Rockefeller Gold Pressed Eye Shadow is on the brow bone for highlighting the eye. Skin is made flawless with a signature blend of Mineral Loose Foundation, Mineral Tinted Hydrator, and Mineral Glow to give the skin a youthful glow. Atop the glowing blend, apply a gentle sweep of Mineral Finishing Powder for a soft look. Cheeks are contoured with Dune Beach Dark Pressed Bronzer. Lips are pouted with Amsterdam Ave Ginger and Central Park West Guava Lip Gloss.
