Contest Entry - Isla Fisher!!!

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are all OK...

So I decided to have a try at Hele and Holly's contest, the look I've tried to recreate is Isla Fisher, looking great with purple eyes, peach cheeks and nude pink glossy lips...

Here is my attempt! Obviously I have different skin colour to Isla, I'm amazed that I seem to be slightly darker skin toned to her (which is a very rare event indeed...), so I used my palest foundation, which matches my skin perfectly, which is NARS balancing foundation in Mont Blanc... Please excuse the extremely cheesy smile in this pic, I don't know what was going on lol!

Isla's skin looks very dewy and fresh so I only applied a little powder in the T-Zone (Mac mineralise skinfinish natural in medium)

Isla's eyes are purple and smoky but not too dramatic, so I tried to keep most of the colours below the crease and only blend slightly upwards...

• I used UDPP as a base, then applied a wash of 'shroom' (from MAC), over the lid and up to the brow, but adding more to the area directly below the brow, as a highlighter.
• I then applied 'trax' from mac over the lid and blended slightly above the crease, blending trax and shroom to get rid of any lines.
• I then used MAC's 'shale' to deepen the lid colour and added a little MAC 'smut' to the outer v (only a tiny amount, just enough to enhance the eye), and blended well.
• Isla's eye liner looks like she has used a mixture of golden brown and purple, so I lined the upper lashline with MAC fluidline in 'brassy' and then smudged the lower lashline with urban decay's 24/7 liner pencil in 'lucky'. I also defined the outer part of the lower lashline with a little MAC 'smut' and a liner brush.
• I then added two coats of black volumising mascara (MAC Plush lash in this case) to boost the lashes, and lined the waterline with white kohl pencil from Lancome.
• Isla's eyebrows also look quite dark, so I used my urban decay brow box (darkest shade) on a slanted brush and added the setting gel for further definition.

Isla's cheeks are peachy, but it looks like she hasn't applied much colour to the apples of the cheek. To replicate the look I defined the cheekbones a little using a blush from MAC called 'honour', and then used NARS 'albatros' to highlight the cheekbone and slightly highlight the apple of the cheek. I then used NARS powder blush in 'Orgasm' concentrating on the outer part of the cheek and blending in.

I also added a little albatros down the centre of the nose, the chin and the forehead to carry on the skin glowing look...

Isla's lips are a pretty pink nude glossy shade, and to replicate this I used MAC cremesheen glass in 'partial to pink', with a little 'creme anglais' to make it closer to the shade Isla is wearing.

As a final little touch I tried to adda few toussly waves with my GHD's so it looks a bit more like Isla's style, even if the colour is not the same lol!

Hope you like!

Lotsa Love,
