Ball Makeup

I have a Ball coming up on August 28th and being an aspirng beauty queen as I am, I am doing my own makeup. I have a gorgeous (and tiny!) Vera Wang strapless gown from one of her "Bridesmaids" collections.

So for makeup I decided to change it up a bit from a classic black smokey eye which I figure everyone will be doing, I am recreating the look Kirsten Stewart was sporting on the cover of Allure magazine recently, based off a tutorial by SarahVictor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkI_jzELQsA) on Youtube.

This is one of the few times I have actually liked Kristen Stewart's Makeup, if I'm brutally honest.

I managed to get Club eyeshadow from M.A.C off http://www.strawberrynet.com/ and NYX Ultra Pearl Pigment in Rust as a dupe for M.A.C's Cranberry. I also plant to add some false lashes and a darker lip colour to make it a little more dramatic as per my stlye. Hopefully I can get a bit more toned and make my skin lovely for the big event!
