Ode to an icon- Audrey Hepburn make-up

Hands up if you love the legend that is Audrey Hepburn!

This lady is known all across the globe and is seen as a perfect idol by many.
Victoria Beckham's style has become very influenced by Audrey, it helps that she also has this slim frame so the clothes look similar but even us curvy girls can rock an AH look.

Firstly her style, it's timeless absolutely timeless. I mean I could see that LBD and pearls doing the fashion rounds for years to come. As for the large brim hat well that is so darling and instantly glams up a wardrobe whether it's a summer or winter outfit.
Her hair cut was daring and her frame was seen as boyish everything the look wasn't at that time. She set trends and continues to influence people. That is why I love her.

My attempt is a not as perfect as Audrey's but I had to give it a good go.



The above picture was not the image I took as inspiration as this has a red lip but the pose is similar!
I actually looked at a few of the Breakfast at Tiffany's pics and Kevin Aucoin's book.
The look
Classically this look is broken into 2 sections defined eye light lip. I love this combo its very 50's 60's and compliments everyone.
To achieve an elegant look keep the lower lashine and water line free of product so the eyelid is the focus and it becomes more of an almond shape which is considered exotic and sexy.
For the lips keep a fleshy tone I prefer a more matte lip for this look but you decide.

  8. You did an amazing job as always, simply stunning. I will attempting to create this and a few of your other looks. I'm probably going to attempt your Megan Fox look on your previous channel for my birthday night out in a months time. I might even be brave to post a vid of me trying to recreate it, might... I've recently started uploading vids, it's fun and nice to give back a little to the lovely online beauty community and I've had such lovely positive feedback, can see how YT can get addictive :-)
