Pearl and The Puppets



I recently shot these pictures with an amazing photographer Amar Daved in a fabulous old pub in East London. It was such a great day and the whole team were amazing. The look was simple with lots of definition to the eyes.



Recreate this look....... here's how.......

Create a flawless base with a creamy foundation. Apply your foundation over the central panel of the face and use a brush to feather the base outwards. This will give a light, even coat and for more coverage top up a little in the area you need it. Choosing a semi matte texture will mean you don't have to apply powder.

Line the eyes all the way around with a liquid liner. I find resting your elbow on a table and looking into a little mirror the best way for a steady hand. Using an angled brush dipped into the liner will also give a straighter line. Start at the outer corner of the eye and sweep into the middle, then start at the inner corner and sweep out to the middle meeting the two lines together. Then use a small stroke to blend any edges. Repeat under the eye and go over with a kohl pencil to soften the edges and blend into the inner rim of the eye. A quick coat of mascara to finish.

Make sure your brows are well groomed for this look as the focus is on your eyes!!!
Use a little shadow or pencil to feather colour into any sparse areas and always finish by brushing through with a corkscrew brow brush to blend any colour.

Cheeks should be left to pick up natural shading and a slick of balm will finish the look nicely.


Pearl and the Puppets is one to watch so make sure you look her up........
