Here are some videos of our look! We definitely need to bring back big, bold glams!
Here’s a fun transition video for our 2016 makeup look. How did I do?
Makeup Transition
Let’s get into some of the details of this look. This is what 2016 makeup looks and feels like to me.
Get into it!
Eyes
Would it be a 2016 look without a bold eye look? We went with a traditional 2016 warm, gold cut crease, with winged eyeliner and a large fluffy lash to match.
This product is great if you love a matte, natural brow look. It doesn't look shiny on the brows, but leaves them looking lifted and natural.
Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting and Laminating Eyebrow Gel - Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez | Sephora
This is a great starter palette for those just starting out with makeup! The shadows are pigmented and easy to work with. I think there is something for everyone in this palette. It's great for casual makeup and for soft/sultry glam looks.
Connect in Colour Eye Shadow Palette: Future Flame | MAC Cosmetics
The shade that I used is "Blackout." I love this formula because the pigments are long-lasting and pigmented. I used it to do our signature 2016 winged liner.
Colorfix Eye, Cheek & Lip Cream Pigment - Danessa Myricks Beauty | Sephora
The shade that I used is "Fascinating." It is a matte white and I used it in the waterline to make our eyes look larger.
Eye Kohl | Matte Eye Pencil
The shade that I used is "Intense Black." This is a great stand alone mascara. It's volumizing and super lengthening and comes off so easily. My lashes still feel great after removal.
Tube Job Lash Augmenting Tubing Mascara - Urban Decay | Sephora
The shade I used is “Global Glow.” I used it to add some umph to our cut crease to really make it pop.
Mineralize Skinfinish - Highlighting Powder - MAC Cosmetics
Face
For our face, we went with a high coverage, super sculpted look! 2016 was all about glammed out matte bases with lots of highlight!
The shade that I used is "Juice Boost." I love using this as a hydrating primer! It makes my skin feel soft, plump, and prepped for makeup.
Yummy Skin Glow Serum Primer - Danessa Myricks Beauty | Sephora
The shade I used is "Macao." This foundation is very high coverage and super matte! If you're looking for a matte foundation for ultra glam makeup, this is a great option!
Soft Matte Complete Foundation | NARS Cosmetics
The shade that I used is "Deep." I used the case for cream contour. I love how long this product lasts and it blends out on the skin beautifully.
Deep Curve Case Cream Makeup Palette - Made By Mitchell | Ulta Beauty
The shade that I used is "Toasted Almond." I love the coverage this concealer gives and the overall finish. I do think it is a concealer that is meant to be set and it looks gorgeous when it is!
#FauxFilter Matte Buildable Coverage Waterproof Concealer - HUDA BEAUTY | Sephora
The shade that I used is "Global Glow." It's a gold shade that works great for deep skin tones. I used more than usual for the look, mainly on my cheeks and on my brow bone.
Mineralize Skinfinish - Highlighting Powder - MAC Cosmetics
The shade that I used is "Bronze Mahogany." We used it to deepen our contour for an ultra-sculpted look.
Bronze Mahogany Skin Fetish: Divine Bronzer - PAT McGRATH LABS | Ulta Beauty
The shade that I used is "5N Neutral." I love the buttery matte finish of this powder. This is technically a foundation, but I love to use it as a finishing powder to get a super blurred finish.
