Iconic Makeup : Audrey Hepburn


"The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years."

~Audrey Hepburn


Beautiful, inspirational and talented... This wonderful lady has always been an popular icon. What better way to celebrate her 85th birthday than with a inspired makeup look <3

The makeup look I did for her is fairly simple and quick! When I was looking at her pictures, I saw that she wore red lips quite a lot and she always paired it with a nice classic line with full lashes and brows :) 


For this look I used:
Bourjious healthy mix foundation 
Collection Concelear 
Loreal brow pencil
Sleek contour kit
BH cosmetics blush 
Revlon true red lipstick 
Rommel London nude eyeliner
Urban Decay Naked 2 eyeshadows 
YSL babydoll mascara 
Maybeline black gel liner 
Ardel natural Demi lashes 



1. I started off with my foundation, I dabbed with foundation on my face with my fingers and then took my Real Techniques Expert face brush to blend it all in. Make sure you blend down to your neck.. Don't want any lines 

2. I went straight to the brows! My brows are quite thick and full already but weren't as straight as Audrey's, so I just used a pencil to lightly full it in and comb it with a eyebrow brush to make sure that there wasn't any sharp lines. 
Then I took thin brush and used it to clean around my eyebrows so I can get a more neater finish


3. I used my Concelear as my base and I took my big blending brush from BHcosmetics and used a orange/tan colour to create an illusion of a deeper crease. I done this through a wind wipe motion. 
Then I went straight to eye liner, I used my real techniques fine liner brush and dipped it in gel liner and drew a thick line but gradually made it thinner and dragged it up so it gives the illusion of bigger looking eyes. 
I then took my real techniques essential crease brush and used matte brown colour from my Urban decay Naked 2 palette to emphasise the outer v and used a small pencil to add more and went back to blend it again.
For my brow bone and inner corners I used foxy urban decay to highlight and make my eyes look bigger and more awake 


I finally added my falsies. *TIP* when you apply your glue hold the lashes for a bit and blow at them and wait so they can get tacky and then apply so they can stick well and not slide around and drive you crazy! <3 


4. I then used my sleek countour kit in meduim to use as my my bronzer and hight for my cheekbone.
I used the peachy pink colour in my BH cosmetics 10 professional blush palette and lightly applied it.



5. For my lips I used a red lip liner and shaped out my lips. Filled my lips in with the lip liner and then used my revlon true red all over. 
For a flawless lip use conclear to correct any mistakes you made around your line and this will also help you get a sharp lips!
