Steal Her Makeup: Lucy Hale

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another themed week on Lots of Love, Shannon. This week we're going to tacking the varied and interesting world of celebrity. That's right, we're jumping straight into celebrity week. I considered giving this post the title 'Steal Her Face: Lucy Hale" but I decided that was slightly creepy, so instead we're just going to steal her makeup. Lucy always has a really beautiful fresh faced look, often aiming to excentuate her eyes. This was the look that she wore at the MTV Movie Awards earlier in the year. It features a lot of coral/peach tones and is a great one for summer events.

I've decided to make all of my recommendations drugstore today, but the great thing about this look is you can recreate it with products you have at home as long as they do the same function. So to start off the look you would go in with a dewy foundation that still gives a medium coverage and then cover any areas that need it with a highlighting concealer (especially under the eyes). If you're going to a fancy event like Lucy, you may want to lightly powder your skin to set all of the foundation in place for the day. Over that go in with a light dusting of bronzer to sculpt the skin a bit and make you look sun kissed. Top off the cheeks with a peach blush. 

For the eyebrows you want to go strong while still aiming to have them look like eyebrows, you don't want to look as though you have blocks over your eyes. Fill in any sparse areas with a small eyebrow pencil but get most of the colour from a tinted brow gel. Use a light pink-toned nude eyeshadow (like the middle shade in the palette above) all over the lid. Run a darker brown shade through the crease and highlight the inner corner and brow bone with the lightest shade. Take the darkest brown eyeshadow (almay single pictured above) and run that along your upper lash line, smoking it out a bit as you go. Also put a small amount of this on your bottom lash line and blend out. Run the kohl pencil over your tight line and water line, then pile on the mascara. 

Top everything off with a peachy lacquer or gloss and your Lucy Hale inspired look is complete! It's quite a simple look that will make any girl look like a star. 

Lots of Love,
