Lauren Reid is one fierce femme fatale as she dared to go all out on the metallic this week. One thing’s for sure—this gorgeous lady is up for anything when it comes to exploring beauty and beyond!
Step out and look like an ice queen yourself by following these steps:
1. Before you get on with the look, don’t forget to apply some primer to make sure your makeup glides on smoothly. Try the PIXI FLAWLESS & PORELESS PRIMER TRANSLUCENT, P1,360, that creates a silky canvas with a beautiful, soft finish.
2. Try the BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION, P1,000, which is a radiance-boosting foundation that enhances your complexion while letting in natural light for a healthy-looking glow.
3. Set your foundation in with the HOURGLASS AMBIENT LIGHTING POWDER, P3,000. It creates the perfection illumination for your face that captures, diffuses, and softens the look of your skin.
4. This look is all about highlighting and strobing! Use the TARTE SKIN TWINKLE LIGHTING PALETTE, P2,200, on the high points of your face—especially on top of your cheek bones, along your brow bone, on the bridge of your nose, and on your cupid’s bow!
5. Lay off the brow products and simply go with a clear brow gel to properly set those brows in place. Try the ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS CLEAR BROW GEL, P1,400, which contains a soothing chamomile formula that conditions hair and gives you lustrous, natural-looking brows.
6. For the eye look, start by priming your lids with the URBAN DECAY EYESHADOW PRIMER POTION, P1,395, for a perfect nude base. It will help those eyeshadow pigments stay on for up to 24 hours without creasing.
7. The WET N’ WILD COLOR ICON EYESHADOW PALETTE in Tunnel Vision, P349, is the perfect palette to play with. It includes the metallic shades you’ll be needing to recreate Lauren’s look and we suggest you go for the two lighter silver shades available in this palette. Makeup artist, Sylvina Lopez, suggests to dampen the pigments to really get that foiled, chrome finish just like how she did to create this look.
8. Go for a white eyeliner instead of your usual black to create a perfect futuristic wing. Add yourself to the waiting list of the EYE OF HORUS GODDESS EYE PENCIL in Selenite White Goddess, P990!
9. You’ll notice Lauren pulling off subtle white lashes for this look. Use a mascara primer just like the L’OREAL PARIS FALSE LASH SUPER STAR DUO MASCARA, P400. Flaunt those gorgeous white lashes by applying the volumizing primer while skipping out on the black, lengthening top coat.
10. Achieve the metallic lip look with the COLOURPOP ULTRA METALLIC LIP in Man Eater, P480, which is non-drying and leaves a comfortable feel on your lips. If you’re feeling bolder, you can dab on a bit of silver eyeshadow along the middle area of your lips to really get the look!
11. Lastly, put your hair in a sleek, high ponytail and carefully spray some of the COSPRAY WASHABLE HAIR COLOR SPRAY in Silver, P249. You can go all out by spraying generously all over your tresses or simply go for some hints of silver just like Lauren’s ‘do!
