Today I have another full face makeup look using all ELF Cosmetics products (you can check out my
Bronzed & Glowing look HERE and my
Summertime Blues HERE), but this time I am participating with many lovely beauty bloggers in a
Drugstore Glam Linkup. I initially wanted to do a heavily contoured, lashed out smokey eye with big bold lips... but then when I thought to myself "what is glam?", I associated it with Hollywood Red Carpet looks. Well after looking at many celebrity faces, I noticed they all had a neutral trend with smudged lash lines and a bold lip color. So, I decided to do this neutral glam look, focusing on a smudgy liner and a bold lipstick. I also wanted to use and feature the NEW
ELF Mineral Waterproof Shadow Liners that I just purchased, I'll be doing a full review on them soon, but in short - they aren't as "waterproof" as I expected.
For this look, I kept the lid space neutral with the shadow liner Blush (I used the Mineral Eye Brightener for my brow bone highlight), and used Brown and Black to smudge a winged liner look. I added Navy and Taupe to the lower lash line, and totally forgot to add some glamorous false lashes ;) Overall, this look costs about $55 to recreate, not bad for a Hollywood inspired Glam look!
