Classic - Audrey Hepburn inspired look

Last Saturday was a blast. Initially, we plan the photoshoot for Tey. But 2 additional teeny bopper joined as well. It was fun.  All girls have their own beauty and style.

The photoshoot for Tey is actually 2 part. We did the first leg last saturday, the classic  50s-60's look. When we say the era of 50's and 60's its gotta be Audrey Hepburn. I really love her in Roman Holiday and most specially as Holly Golightly for Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey was wearing a barely-there makeup that time. Wally Westmore was the makeup artist, very popular MUA during those days. He did the make up simple and yet enhancing Audrey's features, focusing more on her eyes which is so beautiful. I love this make up because it characterize the quote "less is more". It is very fresh, all natural look, and Audrey's small slim face made it look more innocent and youthful.

I've made sure Tey's skin is flawless (its easy because she has good skin). Make it more porcelain and dewy finished (not oily). I've focus on her eyes, with black liquid liner, mascara and falsies. Audrey's eyes are really pretty, quite close to Tey's round eyes but not that deep set. Made sure a crease will be enhance and a black upper lash liner would really make her look like she's gone back into the 60s. For the blush, a fresh coral-pink and the lips is just the same.


We couldn't get her hair up here because of the  head dress

Hair down version














To get this look I've used the following:

Face:
Audrey has a porcelainy- dewey finished face. Back then brozers are not a hip.
Bobbi brown liquid foundation. Alternative: can be any liquid foundation that match your skin or BB cream
Elf liquid concealer for blemishes, marks and pimples. Alternative: any concealer that hides the rashes and other blemish
Benefit  Moon beam highlighter for the areas needed to be highlighted. Alternative: any powder or liquid highlter or pearl shimmer
Mac lose powder to set the face Alternative: any lose powder that will matify the areas that tends to be oily - oily is different from dewy or perspiration ;p
Bobbi Brow blush in rose 
Audrey's face is very bare but her shadow is very very light pinky coral so I chose this color. Alternative would be any corally pink blush you have


Eyes:
Audrey's eyes in most of her movie specially breakfast at tiffany's (my fave) doesn't really have a very colorful shimmery eye shadow. It is more of a neutral eyes with liners and falsies
Urban Decay Primer potion - to prevent creasing during the photoshoot

Base - Elope (Sigma Bare Palette) Alternative: any neutral color that is almost the same as your skin tone
- Put the base in the whole of the eye lid socket.
Outer V of the eye to crease - Snoop (Sigma Bare Palette). Alternative: Any light grey Matte finished eyeshadow. This is classic look no need for shimmer.
 - Audrey's eyes is deep set and her eye socket is almost perfect, I've put a very light crease from outer V to the crease of Tey's eyes. You need to make sure you blend the harsh line so it would look more natural.
Bobbi brown gel liner in black. Alternative: Maybelline gel liner.
Coastalscents orginal 88 palette (dark chocolate brown and dark charcoal grey colored shadow)
Japanese brand art liner - (I forgot the name hehe. loving japanese and korean cosmetics product hehehe)
- draw a thin line very close to the lashline where the eyelash roots are to enahnce the eyes. Smudge it with a bit of dark brown and dark grey shadow to make it look natural. Get a bit of dark brown and dark grey shadow and line the water line very gently.
Falsies - Apply false lashes for more brighter eyes. I've used DUO eyelash adhesive (you can buy at sephora)

Lips - Same with the blush its a bit of rosey pink lips and top it with a gloss - I've used Nyx lip liner in natural and Coastal scents lip palette.

This look is very wearable everyday, work, school, office or just hanging out with friends.
