Hey guys! So this week’s post is going to be an Alison DiLaurentis
inspired makeup look, as the new season of PLL started this week, which I was
very excited about! So, is honour of Pretty Little Liars returning, I thought I’d
do a makeup tutorial of one of the girls! If you enjoy this tutorial and would
like me to do another one of the girls, let me know in the comments!
So, to start with, apply your normal foundation (as this is
only inspired, I’m not recreating her completely!) I’m using Charlotte
Tilbury’s Magic Foundation in Shade 2. This foundation is medium to full
coverage, which is perfect for Alison.
After this, lightly powder your face with a translucent
powder, just to set the foundation a little, we don’t want it to look cakey or
too full coverage with a pigmented powder. For this, I’m using Rimmel Stay
Matte Powder in Translucent.
Alison doesn’t have that much contour but has quite rosy
cheeks, so applying a little bit of bronzer down the cheekbones, temples and
across the forehead, just sculpts your face a little, and bronzes you up a bit!
For this I’m using Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze 022.(The image is of the back of it because the writing has rubbed of the front, oops..) For blusher I’m applying
a little MAC ‘Pink Swoon’ to the apples of my cheeks. I haven’t applied too
much as I’m not a fan of lots of blush, so if you want to add a little more,
just go for it! (Be careful not to overdo it though!!)
Next are the eyebrows. Alison’s eyebrows are quite bold, but
still look natural so for this I used my Smashbox Shape Matters palette, and
from the eyebrow section, the shade 'taupe', which is the lighter one. For the
eyebrows, use an angled eyebrow/eyeliner brush, and apply the powder in quick
strokes to keep it natural, but bold. After this, I used Maybelline Brow Drama
in transparent, just to keep the hairs and powder in place, but you can set
this using a wax instead too, whatever you prefer!
For the eyeshadow, I started with the shade ‘posh’ from the
eye section of the Smashbox Shape Matters palette and applied it all over my
lid. This colour is a rose pink and a little bit shimmery, which is great for Alison.
As Alison’s is slightly more pink than this, I then applied a tiny bit of the dark
pink shade from the Revolution Dia De Los Muertos eyeshadow palette, and
blended out the edges of the two shades to make it softer.
After this, I used the light peach shade called ‘thirteen’
from the Urban Decay Naked Smoky palette and the white shade from the e.l.f.
eye brightening shadow to the inside part of my lid, my inner eye corner, and
the inside part of my lower lash line to make my eyes brighter.
Next, I used the shade ‘black market’ from the Urban Decay Naked
Smoky palette, which is just a matte black colour, and lined my lid with it. This
doesn’t have to be neat, as you blend and smoke it out a little to soften the
look up anyway.
Finally, I lined all the way along my lower lash line using
Estee Lauder blackened black pencil eyeliner to add more definition to the eye
and balance out the colours. I need a new one of these. This one’s a mess don’t
you think?!
To finish of the eyes, I applied two coats of Maybelline Lash
Sensational mascara to my top lashes, and one coat of M.A.C. False Lashes
Extreme Black mascara to my bottom lashes.
To complete the makeup, I lightly applied a bright pink
lipstick from Revolution to my lips. It doesn’t have a name on it to help you find
it if you want to buy it, sorry!! As this is quite a matte lipstick, I then
applied a pink tinted lip gloss over the top. This one is a winterspice scented
one from Tesco that my auntie got me for Christmas. It smells amazing and isn't
sticky on the lips either!
To finish the whole look, curl the
bottom half of your hair, (tie it into a high ponytail first, it’s a lot
quicker and easier!) and put on a white/ grey jumper and some plain black
leggings (you can only see the jumper in these images) and you’re ready to go! This
look can be used as an everyday makeup look, a party look, or a PLL themed
party/day look, as it’s not too smoky and dramatic, but not really simple either!
This the final look!
So, thank you for reading and I hope
