I got the newest Seventeen Magazine issue awhile ago, and I absolutely loved Emma Watson's fresh faced look on that was on the cover! I looked inside to see the products they used, and was disappointed to see that they were all pretty expensive Lancome products ($29 lipstick anyone?). Granted, Emma is the a Lancome spokesperson now, so I guess it makes sense haha. Anyway, I decided to recreate this look without the hefty price tag, and I'll tell you guys how to do it too!
1.) One of the first things I noticed about this look is how great and glowy Emma's skin looks. To achieve this look, you need to use a foundation. When I did mine, I even added a few drops of illuminator (I use Benefit's High Beam...it's a little pricey but I really love it) to really amp it up. I just have my go to foundation which is the Clean line by CoverGirl (only $7.99 as opposed to Lancome's which is $37).
2.) For cheeks, they tell you to use a rose Lancome blush, but I find that CoverGirl's Cheekers blush in Rose Silk or Classic Pink gives you the same look at a fraction of the cost ($4.99 vs $30).
3.) At first glance, it looks as if Emma is wearing a coral-y shadow over her whole lid, but if you look closely, you can actually see it is just a thick line. To achieve this look, dusted my whole eye, brow to lashline with a neutral beige (I used Sephora's Universal beige...again, a little pricey, but ANY neutral color will do!). Next, I took a thick liner brush, got it a little wet, and got the coral-y shadow I wanted onto the brush (I used an orangey color from my BH cosmetics pallete, but any orange shadow will do (L'Oreal, Covergirl, etc all have shades that will work). You might also need to add a little pink or yellow to get the exact right shade.
4.) Emma's lashes in this look are super defined. To get this look, I use a combo of L'Oreal Paris's Voluminous Million Lashes and Maybelline's The Falsies. I applied one coat of VML and then, on top of that, one coat of Falsies on both top and bottom lashes.
5.) For lips, any coral shade will do. Emma's lips aren't super shiny in this look, so a lip stain with a balm would work really well (I've heard Benefit's ChaCha Tint is a gorgeous coral, but again, a little pricey). According to the magazine, Emma's look is achieved with a lip stick, and I have found that CoverGirl's Lip Perfection Lip Color in Flame is a good match. For my look, I used a gloss from an old Sephora pallete because I couldn't find my lipstick.
All the products for Emma's look (excluding the eyeshadows) would cost $130. The products that I would use (again not including shadows) would come to $36.45, and you're getting 2 masacaras in there! So much better!
Here is the look I came up with. It's a tad more subtle, but you can always make it more dramatic by building the color :) Hope you enjoy!
