Beyonce - Mine- Inspired Makeup Look



Hey guys! First off, Happy New Year's everyone. I hope you all had wonderful holidays. Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, I got extremely ill the day after New Years day and am only now getting better. I will save yall from the gross information and just move on to talking about today's look. I, like so many others right now, am obsessed with Beyonce and her new album/video release. So today's makeup look is inspired by her music video for the song "Mine". I am seriously loving ALL the makeup looks from these videos she released, but the pretty blue eye look from "Mine" is just so eye catching so I just had to try and create a look like it. Now I know I don't look anything like Beyonce, but I tried to keep the makeup as closely inspired by the original look as I could. After it was all said and done, this type of eye look just doesn't suit my eye shape. The way the shadows are placed and the white in the inner waterline make my already round eyes look way too round and doll like, so after taking pictures I applied black into the waterlines to make my eyes look less round and I really like the way it looked. I really want to do some more Beyonce-inspired makeup looks, so I will most likely have some more up soon. Anyways, I'm so happy to be feeling better and to be back on here with yall. So if you're curious on how to get this Beyonce "Mine" inspired look, just keep reading!

How To: EYES
-Start off by applying your favorite primer all over your lids and underneath the lower lash line. Then, apply a bright blue base onto the eyelid only, staying under the crease.
-Highlight with a matte shade that corresponds with your skin tone. I used a matte cream shade.
-With a large fluffy brush, fluff a medium rose toned shade. I used "Exposed" blush from Tarte, which worked beautifully.You want this shade to look seamless in the crease and blend it up until it disappears into the brow highlight.
-Apply a bright teal blue shadow into the center of the lid. You want this color to go up into the crease.
-Take a deep shimmery blue shadow and apply it into the inner and outer corner of your eyes. Make sure to blend it into the other blue shade on your lid.
-Take a light shimmery shadow and apply it right into the center of your lid to really brighten it up. I used "Lumi" from Sugarpill, which is a white loose shadow with a teal duo-chrome.
-Go back in with the crease color and blend out the edges. You also want to touch up the other colors and clean up any fall out.
-Take a deep green shimmery shadow and apply it underneath the lower lash line.
-Add a shimmery white shadow around the tear ducts to further brighten up the eyes. This look is all about making the eyes look BIG and round and bright.
-Tightline your eyes with a black liner, then line your lower waterlines with a white liner.
-Curl your eyelashes and apply lots of mascara to your top and bottom lashes.

Beyonce's skin was flawless in this video. She had a matte, yet glowy look to her skin. I also wanted to incorporate the blush we used on the eyes onto the cheeks. I used some new products and I have to say I really love how amazing my skin looks- It's flawless and glowing.

How To: FACE
-Apply a skin smoothing primer all over your face to even out the texture of your skin and prep it for foundation.
-Apply a full coverage foundation all over your face using a damp sponge.
-Apply a concealer that's 1-2 shades lighter than your foundation underneath your eyes and down the center of your face.
-Set your concealer with a light powder, then set everything else with a powder that matches your foundation.
-Use a light matte bronzer to sculpt out your face. I applied it under my cheek bones, along my temples, under my jaw bone, and down the sides of my nose.
-Take the same blush you used on your eyes and apply it to your cheek bones.
-Use a natural looking highlighting powder and apply it to the tops of your cheek bones and down the center of your face.
-Fill in your brows like you normally would, keeping them natural yet defined.
-Add a nude lipstick to your lips to finish your Beyonce transformation.
