From the moment I saw Lorde's Royals video I knew that I needed to recreate that look. An hour and three U Tube tutorials later I’d learnt all the techniques I needed. With a night out in Leeds coming up that week I practised the look three times, by Saturday night I had it mastered.
As a make up artist I like to think I fall under the creative category, but the majority of my inspiration comes from other people’s ideas. My wedding make up looks are all inspired by looks in books and magazines. My occasion make up by what the celebrities are wearing. So should I be more creative in the looks I create despite the fact that I love copying other peoples ideas. With a full time job and as a part time MUA I think it’s acceptable to ‘steal’ other peoples ideas. If I’d spent time creating a look I’d love to walk to down the street seeing other people wearing it.
The Lorde look was a hit and I think I’ll be working it again this weekend, although maybe this time I’ll try and give it a Make Up Kit twist!
Here are few other looks I've been inspired by. Emma Stone and Kim Kardashion never fail in the make up department....
