Make Up Fit For A Princess

(insider tips from Peity Gregory Makeup)

 

As reported in the press this week, Kate Middleton was spotted shopping at a Lancôme make up counter, and we are delighted to reveal her Lancôme purchases ahead of her wedding. A true classic skincare and make up brand that is top of every brides list.

Hydra Zen Neurocalmâ  Soothing Anti-Stress Moisturising Cream 

The perfect, ultimate bridal product and a make up artists favourite. Hydra Zen day cream The cream contains an ingredient with the capacity for retaining water, infusing it with a fresh flow of intense moisture, keeping skin hydrated for 24 hours, essential for a long wedding day and night. Hydra Zen also tackles skin when under emotional stress, ensuring Kate’s skin remains in perfect condition in the build up to her wedding day.

 

Lancôme Hypnose Mascara in Black 

 

A mascara designed to create a natural look for the day or full-on glamour at night. With an exclusive new formula, each coat can intensify the look. The brush of Hypnôse is slightly curved to enable a more gentle contact with the lashes to coat them in a perfectly even and gradual way, leaving lashes curved, and as natural or intense as desired. Ideal for Kate’s perfect set of thick lashes, and ensuring they frame her eyes in her wedding photography.

 

Lancôme Artliner 

 

A high-precision liner that is ultra-comfortable, water-proof and has a smudge-proof hold that guarantees intense, precise make-up to look bridal perfect all day long. Kate has long been a fan of Artliner to enhance her beautiful lashes.

So now you can be a princess in your own presence, he hee..

Much love Peity xx

The Beauty
Breakdown...

This is the first Beauty Breakdown blog. It is the kissing cousin of the Style Shakedown offering tips and hints on how best to apply your makeup to work back with designer looks…..




Tips from Peita Gregory Makeup – boutique makeup artist to the stars!!


Make up looks to go with the Cilla & Pepe ‘Sexy Sally Slip’ Sexy Sally Slip - a cute and kitsch 50's style slip with a fine polka dot print and sheer mesh detailing. Comes in black and ivory.

Look 1: At home lounging – the Natural look
If you’re the kind of girl who likes to ‘’keep it real’’ then follow this basic step by step guide to achieve a look that’s au naturel and ‘’Oh so pretty’’......

·         Use a tinted moisturizer as a base and cover any under eye circles and blemishes with concealer.
·         Brush eyebrows up and smooth down the ends with an eyebrow gel to give a wide eye youthful appearance.
·         Curl eyelashes and coat the top lashes only in mascara that gives a natural look, nothing too dramatic.

·         A soft pink or peach cream blush applied to the apples of the cheeks gives off a cute romantic look.

·         Use the same blush and gently dab onto lips, or use a clear lipgloss or balm if wanting to keep it really ‘‘natural’’.
·         Finish with a light sweeping of translucent powder over the t-zone to set the look.

Perfectly pretty and ready for romance.....

Or
Look 2: Going out – the Rockabilly look
Into the ever so cool rockabilly look and have a taste for fun then look number two is just for you....

·         Prep skin with moisturizer and cover area’s needed with foundation to even out the complexion. Dab blemishes with a concealer.
·         Brush eyebrows into place and fill in any hairs that are missing with either a pencil or brow powder.
·         Smooth over the entire lid a cream colour shadow and lightly contour the socket with a light brown shadow. Make sure to blend, blend, blend!

·         Use a black liquid liner to create a cat’s eye or flick on the top lid.

·         Curl lashes and coat in volumizing mascara.    
·         Contour the cheeks lightly with a matt bronzer or contouring powder to define the cheeks.
·         Prep lips by lightly buffing with a wet face cloth to remove any dry flakey skin. Slather in balm. Let the balm soak in if you have time, otherwise blot with tissue. Pop a little concealer over lips to prime the lips for the lipstick. Choose a deep red ( or go with something that suits your skin tone ) apply directly from the bulllet over lips then work into the lips with a lip brush or finger. Blot with a tissue and re-apply. No need to use a liner, this is an edgy cool look and defining the lips with a liner will look too polished.

Now you’re ready to rock it out.......
