Ice Cream Kisses

If you follow me on social media you'll know I'm a huge fan of makeup artist Jo Baker. I'm constantly inspired by her work and how she merges red carpet with editorial to create the most unique and beautiful makeup looks for her clients. I'm especially enamoured by her work with actress Lucy Boynton. Obviously Lucy is stunning but I love how the makeup seems to suit her style so much, it doesn't take away from her outfits or overpower her delicate features. It's so refreshing to see such different red carpet makeup and I always look forward to seeing her posts on Instagram and the inspiration behind each look. 

One of the recent looks that blew me away was at the Vanity Fair Oscar party where Lucy wore a pastel Miu Miu dress and the makeup was incredible. You can see it here. It was quite simple but went perfectly with the overall look and I immediately wanted to try my hand at recreating it. Jo used a lot of Chanel Beauty products and the glitter under the eyes was Lemonhead LA Violet Hour Spacepaste. I didn't have this one but I did have Mulholland which is a rose gold. On my eyelids and on the lower lash line I applied a mixture of two shades from the Fenty Beauty Snap Shadows Pastel Frost palette, a pink called Ice Cream Kisses and a Lavender called Lady Pimp. I then added a touch of the Bodyography Glitter Pigments in the shades Eclipse and Halo just in the centre of my eyelid. 

I used the Glossier silicone detailer brush to apply the Spacepaste under my lower lashes. I brought it down lower than I usually would with eyeshadow but I think it works because you can really see the glitter and it makes it into more of a feature. I applied a couple of coats of Le Volume de Chanel mascara, I definitely don't have Lucy Boynton's amazing lashes but this mascara gives me lots of volume although not as much length as I'd like. 

My friend very kindly picked me up the new Bite Beauty Changemaker Foundation when she was in New York. I've only tried it a couple of times but so far I love the finish, I think I just need to figure out what way to best prep my skin before using it. I've also been using the Kevyn Aucoin Glass Glow Face since I got in the The Loop Duty Free on the way to Paris. It's such a gorgeous multi-use product. I've tried it under foundation and on the high points of the face which is how I used it for this look. It really does give that glass skin look without much pigment. It does have some micro glitter in it but that doesn't bother me.

On my lips I wanted something with a light pink hint to it that wouldn't wash me out so I used the Bellàpierre Cosmetics mineral lipstick in the shade Catwalk and a little bit of my beloved Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector on top. I recently repurchased my favourite Glossier Cloud Paint shade Puff which is a light pink that works really well for this tonal look.
