Camila Cabello Inspired Makeup

So recently I've been listening to a lot of Fifth Harmony and I think that Camila's makeup just always looks amazing so I wanted to create a simple makeup look inspired by her.




1. Camila's skin always looks flawless without too heavy makeup so I used my Maybelline BB Cream for a light coverage then added a little Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Foundation over the top, this foundation is relatively light coverage but makes your skin look really glowy and I just love it.

2. I added a little of my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder.

3. Camila often wears a touch of bronzer and a shimmery pink blush so I used Bourjous Delice de Poudre Bronzer and Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Blusher in "Pearlescent Pink." Camila is definitely more tanned than I am so this step is a necessity haha!

4. Camila doesn't often wear a lot of eyeshadow so I kept it really simple applying only a shimmery colour - mine was from the Revlon Colorstay Quad in "505 Decadent" but any eyeshadow of this description would do - all over the lid and a slightly lighter colour in the corner of my eyes to brighten them.

5. Camila uses a lot of eyeliner - I used my Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner on my upper lash line and my Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner on my waterline - both just in the colour black. I also used my favourite mascara - Maybelline The Falsies.

6. Camila doesn't really have a specific shade of lipgloss/lipstick she wears so any colour from a bright pink to a red to a nude colour would work. I decided to go with my NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in "Smokey Look."



Final Step - add a bow like Camila always wears! Thanks for reading :) Let me know if you'd like to see makeup looks inspired by the other girls of Fifth Harmony, or any other celebtrity inspired makeup looks!

My Favourite: Drugstore Lipgloss

Recently, when on holiday in America, I saw the brand "NYX" at Target. NYX is not sold in UK "drugstores" such as Boots or Superdrug and is not a brand I have tried many products from so I decided to buy a few products. I bought the Mega Shine Lipgloss in the colour "129- Beige."
 
 
The name is very misleading as I would not describe the colour to be beige at all, it's more of a dark pink. The lipgloss has a very strong sweet smell and a lot of colour, it's not sheer at all. After liking this lipgloss so much I decided to buy another from the line.
 


This is in the colour "159 - Smokey Look", although in the photo it looks very orange, off camera it's more of a peach colour.

 

 



 

Here is a comparison of the two with "Smokey Look" on the left and "Beige" on the right.
 
NYX Mega Shine Lipglosses can be bought in Target stores or online here in the US and online here in the UK.
