HOW TO CREATE THE CONTESSA SOPHIA LOOK
(JANUARY 2010)
Add some grey and pale hues to your skin with the aristocratic and graceful glance of Contessa Sophia's look. The striking eyes veiled in matte eye shadows are balanced with a barely there matte complexion make-up and with a natural blush and lip colour.
Face
Capture the look of Sophia with our products starting with the Anti-ageing Moisturiser SERAPHIC VEIL to treat your skin in the most effective and comfortable way before applying the make-up products.
Our Aqua Primer PRELUDE IN THE CLOUDS can be worn ideally in partnership with our pale pink-beige 'Coconut Milk Parfait' (Liquid Foundation MILK AQUARELLE). The combination applied with our Foundation Brush (# 009) will bestow you with superbly smooth skin for an unequalled sophistication.
For the even, very matte appearance and to preserve perfection all day long dust our light beige shade 'Piano Forte' (Flawless Face Powder PRECIOUS VELVET) all over your face with our Powder Brush (# 001).
To contour your cheeks swirl a hint of our Original Skin Blush FOR LOVE OF ROSES over your skin with RBR Blusher Brush (# 002). The very light coral 'Starina' blends with a barely there hint of colour.
Eyes
In the spotlight of the look are Sophia’s eyes in different grey shades of our Long-lasting Matte Eye Shadows WHEN BIRDS ARE SINGING… which universally flatter everyone and can be worn very light and diffuse or more intensive and strong. Apply the creamy beige 'Papyrus Canary' over the complete lid up to the brows with the RBR Large Shader (# 003). The smoke slate 'Grey Go-away Lourie' can be used for the outside edges of the movable eyelid and on the lower lid as well while placing the black brown 'Blackpepper Jay' in the crease with the RBR Applicator (# 015); use this colour to rim the complete eye near to the roots of the lashes, too. Smoky eyes get more intensity when lined in the inner lower eye lid with the black Eye Khol FELINE GAZE 'Salome'.
Use our water-based Quartz Eyeliner DEVOTION INK 'Anthracite Essence' for a deep black, silver sparkling eye line as a contrast to the matte make-up and to set up some shimmering highlights. For a perfect line, stretch the upper eyelid slightly and place the eye line near the lashes.
For striking and beautiful lashes use our intensive black 'Midnight' (Modelling Mascara WITCHERY). It gives volume, elongation and separation with just the weave of a wand. Apply twice to intensify the look.
Lips
Treat your lips with our Shimmering Luxe Balm before applying a hint of the pale rosy nude-beige of 'The Plot Thickens' (Colour Burst Lipstick HUES OF ENCHANTMENT) which completes Sophia's look with most natural nude lips. Use the 'The Plot Thickens' alone for a creamy finish or dust some Flawless Face Powder over it for a very matte appearance.
