Retro revival has been inspiring me all year and I decided to collect some of my favorite products to recreate the look. Yesterday, I picked up Red Revival lip color from Maybelline. It is so incredibly hydrating and long-wearing. (side note: I also recommend Fifth Avenue Fuchsia) The application is creamy, but highly pigmented. What a great color range! And the price, great excuse to pick up two or three!
For the eyes, my first step was a rediscovered favorite: Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eye Liner Black Ebony. I spray some Shu Uemura Depsea Water Facial Mist in Bergamot on the Laura Mercier Flat Eyeliner Brush, a couple swipes on the cake, and tuck the brush along my lash line. Don’t drag the brush , just press and repeat until you have covered the entire lash. The look is definining and demure – but utterly sexy.
A bold brow is the cornerstone of the retro look, and requires a brow pencil. My favorite these days is Le Metier de Beaute Brow Bound Eyebrow Pencil. It has a gel consistency and I work it onto the hairs rather than the skin. I blend and tame flyaways with the brush include on the other end of the pencil.
Dramatic mascara extends the pigment from the lash line through the lashes. Lancome Hypnose Custom Volume Mascara adds just the right amount of volume. A little highlighter like the gorgeous Lumière Sculptèe de Chanel Highlighting Powder on the inner corner of your eyes and cheekbones and you are set!
