Eva Mendes Inspired Makeup Look.

Celeb Make-up and Style Inspiration, INSPIRATION

Isn’t she just gorgeous?!

[Source.]
I’ve watched all the movies she has starred in and I especially love her portrayal of the character Sarah Melas in Hitch. Not only is she beautiful, she’s smart and Funny too.
When it comes to makeup, Eva’s incredible bone structure allows her to pull off anything, but she usually keeps it light, with the occasional pop of colour.

For this look, I pulled inspiration from her recent shoot with W Magazine…

Soft (matte) looking skin, a defined eye liner, up to the crease, and a bold rouge lip.

My Recreation.

Outfit

Top/Dress: Primark
Leggings: Topshop
Cardi: New Look
Belt: Primark
Sandals: Primark
Accessories: New Look

How I achieved the look..
Eyes
With an angled brush and a matte black eyeshadow, I formed a flick on the outer corners, then cut the crease. Using a flat shading brush I filled in the eyelid (Below the crease) with the same black eyeshadow.
I then defined the tightline with a kohl eyeliner, applied some mascara and popped on some falsies.
Carbon Eyeshadow (MAC)
Angled Brush (Sleek)
Flat shading Brush 239 (MAC)
Nocturnal Eye Kohl (Sleek)
Big & Curvy Mascara (TBS)
Eyelashes (Eyelure)
Lips
Using a red lip liner, i defined the lip line, adorned the lips with a rouge lipstick, then blotted with a small tissue.
1000 Kisses lip liner in Red Dynamite (Rimmel)
Lasting Fix Lipstick in Showcase (17)
Face
Powdered the face lightly using a mineral powder, and contoured the cheekbones for that defined look.
Powder/Blush Brush 129 (MAC)
MSF Natural shade dark (MAC)
Face Contour Kit (Sleek)

    I love that look. That Matte lipstick looks beautiful. I will try to recreate it, but its so hard finding the right shade for a chocolate skin tone. Loves it..
