Britney’s brand new video for “Criminal” is my FAVORITE from this CD- I love everything about it! Basically… IT’S SO HOT. I knew I wanted to make a tutorial on the look she’s wearing in the second half of the video [super dark, contrasted && edgy- yet beautiful!] so here’s my version!

4. Mascara: Fairy Drops Scandal Queen, Lancome L’Oscillation

Her look focused on heavy shading and thick lashes, but her lids were bright and shiny
I used the dark shadow first to get the strong, blended effect I wanted && applied the lid shadow after. I prefer to work dark to light when using any form of shimmer or metallic shadow because it’s easiest to blend that way without moving any of the glimmer to different parts of the eye. Wetting the shadow brush intensifies the shine SO much- you’ll be amazed at how intense the result is! I skipped false lashes for the tutorial, but to REALLY look like the video you’ll need a set of full, thick fake lashes.
Her skin was bronzed and highlighted only by her cheekbones- for this I used a matte bronzer to warm the entire complexion, && then a shimmer bronzer as a contour. To create that strong highlight along the cheekbone, I used the same highlight placed on the brow bone. Using shimmered shadows as highlighter is great when you want to use minimal products or can only carry a certain amount with you- you can have a multitude of products all in one shadow palette!
MAC “Hue” is one of my all time favorite lipsticks- it is the perfect base color in a variety of looks. It’s technically a pinky-nude, but it’s not so pink that you can’t wear it in neutral looks- the gloss you put on top REALLY changes the final look! I use this as a base for most looks, then pop a colored gloss on top to give the final color.
Two makeup tutorials in one week!? WHO AM I?! I hope you guys liked my take on this look 🙂

I just stumbled on your youtube video's today and I was so surprised because your video's have the best stylingtips. You film everything professional, and you have great style in general. I think your videos are the best compared to ALL the youtube hauls, beauty fashion vlogs I have seen. Thanks for all your effort. Maybe I'm going to make a fashion illustration of you.
