GET THE LOOK: Make Up For Ever x Fifty Shades Of Grey // Valentine's Day 2015

A couple days ago, I reviewed the Make Up For Ever for Fifty Shades of Grey Give In To Me Set ($90 CAD). The included booklet included in the set features three looks created by Head of Makeup for the movie, Victoria Down, capturing Anastasia Steele's (the main character) transformation from an innocent college girl to a sultry, passionate woman. 

I thought it would be fun to make an attempt at the three looks. 

The Natural Look

Victoria Down's movie makeup secret: "...it was very important to start her as a very young, fresh-faced, uncomplicated girl. Her makeup was clean, her skin was bright and glowing..." 

How to get the look: I-514 (iridescent ivory) all over the lid, S-556 (grey taupe) at the base of the upper lash line, Smoky Extravagant Mascara over the lashes, and the Lab Shine D14 all over the lips. 

The Sultry Look

Victoria Down's movie makeup secret: "...I curled her lashes to open her eyes and then lightly applied black mascara brushed through so there were no clumps and no suggestion of heaviness."

How to get the look: ME-612 (metallic red brown) from the lash line to the crease and on the lower lashline, I-514 (iridescent ivory) on the brow bone and inner corner, Graphic Liner in the waterline, Smoky Extravagant Mascara on the lashes, and Rouge Artist Natural in N4 on the lips with Lab Shine D14 on top. 

The Empowered Look

Victoria Down's movie makeup secret: "As Ana gets involved with Christian Grey, she begins to dress the part...I gave her more maturity in her look. Her eyes became shaded a little deeper and stronger, her eyebrows were a little more groomed and shaped, and her lips became deeper-colored."

How to get the look: I-628 (iridescent reptile) from the lash line to the crease and on the lower lashline, S-556 (taupe grey) through the crease, I-514 (iridescent ivory) on the brow bone and inner corner, Graphic Liner on the bottom lash line, Smoky Extravagant Mascara on the lashes, and Rouge Artist Natural in N4 on the lips with Lab Shine D14 on top. 

My favourite is the Empowered look. It's kind of funny because I think that I look pretty "natural/innocent" in all of them. Perhaps it's because my face is more baby-like than that of actress Dakota Johnson. That aside, these looks, as well as the Give In To Me set are super simple to create and wearable for everyday. 

Which is your favourite of the three looks?
