Create a bold, bright makeup look for older women ｜ Style Guide ｜ Look Fabulous Forever

Hello my name is Sally and today I am going to be working with my lovely model Karen to work on another part of our style guide series and today we're going to be doing bold brights. So we're going to do a full makeover on Karen and then we're going to finish by doing her hair and giving her a lovely new outfit to wear as well. Karen is cool toned so we'll be using the products with Look Fabulous Forever's range which are cool toned and Karen is 65 years old so the products are perfect for her age group. So we've already prepped Karen's skin with the skincare products including the lovely Smooth The Day face cream moisturiser and we've let that sink in. What I'm now going to do is to add a little bit of moisturising balm to Karen's lips which is a really nice thing to do before you do a makeup and so I'm just going to pop a little bit of this on. This will just allow the lips to be really lovely and hydrated before we do lipstick and I'll take off the excess before we actually apply Karen's lipstick. My first product that I'm going to use makeup wise is the lovely Smooth Like Silk face prime which is fantastic before putting on foundation or light look beauty balm. So I'm going to take a couple of squirts onto the back of my hand and then I'm just going to apply this all over Karen's face. She's got lovely skin but this will just, it really does feel like silk when you put it on, just how it sounds and how it's labelled on the bottle and it means that the foundation will go on beautifully. As we get older our skin becomes a little bit more like blotting paper and sometimes without a primer foundation will just go a little bit patchy and won't last so if you find that that is a problem it's really worth investing in this beautiful, quite unique product. Karen has beautiful skin so I have decided to go with the light look beauty balm in shade 01 which will still give, it gives more coverage than a very light tinted moisturiser but not quite as much coverage as the continuous cover foundation which you could also wear but we'll use this today. Okay so I like to put it on my hand so and then I like to, you can either put it on with your fingers but I quite like to use the beautiful foundation brush number three. This is such a lovely silky product and it gives coverage but not a heavy, heavy look so if you're not a foundation wearer but you want to just even out your skin tone this is the perfect product for you. What I'm now going to do is I'm using the beautiful cover to cover concealer number two, shade number two with my concealer brush number four just to give Karen that little bit of extra help in any areas that might need a little bit more coverage. So because you're using the light look beauty balm that's a little bit lighter so it is quite nice to use a concealer just, I like to use a little bit just around the nose and just a tiny bit on a few areas where there might be a just to even that out a tiny bit in this area. So I'm a little bit on the chin, it's quite nice to put a bit, I use the brush and then I use my finger just to sort of stipple it in. I'm just stippling a little bit of the concealer into the inner bit of the nose and eye and just where there's a tiny bit of darkness and now I'm using my ring finger just to tap this area so that you're not dragging at the skin around your eyes but the warmth of your finger will melt it into the light look beauty balm. So now I'm going to set the foundation or the base look that we've done with the beautiful translucent powder which is really sheer. I'm using my big powder brush number one just to pop this all over Karen's beautiful skin. This will just hold it in place if she gets hot under the lights or throughout the day. It's a really lovely fine powder. So I'm also going to just add a little bit of a translucent powder on the outer edges of Karen's eyes because I'm going to be doing quite a bright makeup colour on them, we don't want it to spill onto her lovely base that we've just created so we will dust that away if there's any spillage later. So we're now going to start with the bright bold eye look and really essential for this look is to use the Smooth Out Eye Prime because this will mean that Karen's eyes are perfect. They don't have any sort of little veins or any discolouration, not coming through, and it means that the colour that I'm going to put on will be a true colour so if you just close. I like to put this on with the concealer brush number four and the secret is to put this on to clean oil-free dry eyelids and only a tiny amount and even if you decide you're not going to wear eyeshadow for a day, sometimes it's nice to pop a little bit of this on because it would just mean your eyes look really fresh and clear and bright and even so it's a brilliant product to use but really, really essential if you're using an eyeshadow because it will mean that the eyeshadow won't crease throughout the day. While I am thinking about primers, I always find this is a good time to remember to use the third primer which is the Never Feather Lip Prime and this is fantastic if you start to get a little bit of bleeding and feathering of your lipstick. So I'm going to just take off that excess bit of moisturising balm and I'm going to use the Never Feather Lip Prime on the outer edges of Karen's lips. So don't put it on the actual lip, just on that outer edge. It forms a barrier to your lipstick. Karen has got the most stunning blue eyes and you might think why put blue eyeshadow on blue eyes? Well it can create a really lovely bold look which is what we're going to try and achieve today. So I'm using the beautiful Bright Blues eyeshadow trio today and I'm going to start off using the lightest one which is called Powder Blue all over Karen's eyelid. I quite like to start with a lighter colour and then build up colour rather than going straight in with quite a bright colour. They never come out quite as scary as they look in the palette so don't panic. This is a really pretty Powder Blue, putting it all over Karen's removable part of her eyelid and just up to just above her socket line. Okay what I'm now going to do is use the Bright Cobalt Blue, just a little bit of this, bringing this to the outer corner and then I'm just putting it just above Karen's socket line. So I'm bringing it just above the socket line which will just have to be the appearance of lifting Karen's eyes. Just open your eyes so you can still see the colour when Karen has her eyes open. So it's a little bit higher than you might naturally want to put it but when the eye is open you can still see that little bit of brightness which is what we're trying to achieve, that bold bright look. I'm now going to use the beautiful Eyeshadow Blender brush number seven and really blend that well. Once we've gone for a bright colour it needs to be blended but you need to put it on in a really defined shape first and that's why it always looks a little bit weird when you first put an eyeshadow higher up but once it's blended, once you've got all the other eye products on like mascara, eyeliner, brow shape and when you've got your blusher and your lips on, it all works well together so don't panic. To continue with the bold bright I am going to use our beautiful Soft Eyeliner in Ocean Blue. This is a really pretty, it's like a sort of bluey green colour and it is fairly bright but it will work really well with Karen's beautiful blue eyes. And I'm winging it very slightly up. So what I'm going to do now it's going to be a little bit bolder, that'll be fine for sort of every day. I'm going to be a little bit bolder with the winging out. Just close your eyes, I'm going to bring it a little bit further up and out than I would normally, just for this look as you can see. I'm going to put a little bit underneath now as well, again close to the lashes. I can barely feel that going on. You can blink as well don't worry. They're so lovely and soft so they don't drag at the eyes. I hate it when you use a sort of hard scratchy liner. I just bring the bottom up to meet the top rather than the other way around. Yeah it's really pretty. So what I'm now going to do is again I'm going to be a little bit bold and go for the cobalt blue with my wedge brush number eight to go a little bit over that Ocean Blue eyeliner. So what I'm now going to do is to use the beautiful Sheer Brilliance Lid Colour in Silver Mist and this is a really nice shimmery product but it's actually nice to use a tiny amount on the inner corner of Karen's eye. What this does is it just catches the light so that when you're talking and moving your eye that little bit of brightness in that inner corner which is where we often get a little bit of darkness naturally so it's quite pretty to use. A little bit just on that inner corner. Now I'm going to use the beautiful Lithe Lash Mascara in Navy. This is a really pretty colour. So I'm now just going to dust away the powder just underneath Karen's eyes. I didn't actually, we didn't get any spillage but if we had it would have just been able to dust it away without ruining the base that we've so carefully done. I'm just going to help to define Karen's beautiful brow area before putting the Bring Back Brow on. You can do it before or after but I'm going to do it before this time. I'm going to use the Instant Bright Highlight which is a really lovely product. I'm just going to put it above just in the literally under the highest part here of Karen's brow. It's a really pretty highlighter. I like to pop it on and then take the concealer brush number four again and just blend it and while I've got it I'm just going to use it just a little bit onto Karen's cheekbones so that when she turns there will just be that slightly dewiness of light. It's a very attractive and simple to use product but it really does make a difference, just gives you that dewy glow. So I'm now going to define Karen's brows which are already really nice. I'm just going to give them that little bit of extra oomph with the Bring Back Brow Shape in brown. So the first thing I'm going to do is to use the beautiful spoolie brush number six to groom Karen's brows. I'm now going to shake the product and with the brown it's really important just to take the excess off. So I often take it off on the back of my hand just so that it's a little bit softer when I put it on. So it is a paint so don't tip it otherwise it will spill. I'm just going to just very gently go over Karen's brows. They're already a lovely shape so it's just filling in the odd tiny area where there's a little gap or they're a little bit paler. Little feathery strokes is the way to use this product and once you've used it you won't look back. It's waterproof, won't come off until you take it off with your eye makeup remover. It's just brilliant. It just defines a little bit better. So the secret to using Bring Back Brow is to then, after you've applied it, to use the spoolie brush again. So just to soften the effect. Now I'm going to put some blusher onto Karen and because I've gone quite strong on the eyes I'm not going to go too heavy on blusher. So we're going to use the beautiful Peach Cream shade. I love this one. It has got a little bit of pink in it so even if you are cooler toned you can wear this. So I like to put it on with fingers and then blend it with the brush but you can put it on with the blusher brush number two if you like to use a blusher brush straight away. It's quite a nice natural look. So it's peach but it has got a hint of pink in it as well so it works really well on most people actually this one. We're now going to do Karen's lips and because we've gone for a quite a strong bright bold look with Karen's eyes I'm going to keep the lips slightly more subtle and a little bit more nude and I'm going to first of all define them with a beautiful defining lip liner in Soft Fig. I'm going to outline Karen's lips and then I am roughly filling in with the lip liner so that there is a base of colour. So I'm going to now apply the beautiful Dusky Rose lipstick which again it's a quite a neutral slightly cooler but a really subtle pretty pinky colour so I think it will work really well with the Soft Fig. So I'm using lip brush number five just to get a really professional look to help to shape Karen's lips really well. So if you've got time to use a lip brush it does make a difference. I'm just going to finish off the makeup look with a sweep more of the beautiful translucent powder just to set everything for the rest of the day or night. So Karen's makeup look is now finished and complete so what we're going to do now is to go away and to do her hair and put her into her beautiful bold bright outfit and then we'll come back and show you the finished result. So we've come to the end of our styling of Karen our lovely model and we have done Karen's hair and we have styled her and put accessories on. So Karen has got earrings from Too Lally and she's got her really beautiful necklace that has come from Zara and the polo neck pink top has come from Kettlewell and the lovely blazer is from Pure Collection.
