Makeover - past runway inspired Twinkle Fall 2009

So I thought of this look from this video that feature Gregory Arlt from MAC for Twinkle Fall 2009.
Despite that it's from 2009, it still relevant and this look good for all year round. 
It's inspired by the 50's although much more softer as Arlt says it's the teenager daughter that watch her mum do her makeup, so instead of a cat eye, it's a 'kitten-eye'
Instead of a flat matte as in the 50's, it's more luminous and shimmery with the eyes are swipe with something silverish pink (Naked Lunch by MAC) and an orange red lips (Lady Danger).






So I did the look on my sister and I notice how this look very good with a cream headscarf.









Base:
Mix of Revlon Colourstay in #Toast and Photoready Makeup in #Vanilla and adjust to my sister's skintone. The finish of this mixture will give the right amount of dewyness and shine control.
Conceal under eye darkness and any blemishes with MAC Studio Sculpt in NC30
Set with MAC Blot Powder in Medium Dark.



Eyes:
Sweep MAC Naked Lunch eyeshadow to the lids.
Line the upper lid with MAC Fluidline in Blitz and Glitz (the only one I had)
The eye-liner should quite thick  and not too extended. Then the outer corner slightly flick (very subtle)



Lips:-
Line and fill the lips with orang tone lipliner, MAC Lipliner in Mouth Off and follow by MAC Lipstick in Alibi. I made the lips less red and more orange peachy than the Twinkle one, but it's still matte.


Face colour:-
Soft contour with MAC Minerealize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Dark. This should be more subtle for that younger 'teenage' look, if the contour too apparent it's more mature than it should be.
Blusher on the apple of the cheeks Elianto Studio Blush in Nude Pink.
Dot the liquid hightlighter Tony Moly Crystal Light Pink Beam on the cheekbones and other high planes of face. Set it with MAC Irisdescent Powder in Verve-acious.
I blend it more freely into cheeks and get the hyper-luminous cheeks and dewy complexion which is in contrast with the more matte complexion of the 50's.


If you're oily, keep the dewyness down a bit especially on hot day weather 
*let say when I'm back in Malaysia*

    1. Thank you. Yes, although the lipstick is not available anymore at MAC but MAC lady danger should be good, as that was the actual lipstick he used.
