Get the Look with Tara Taylor Our September Bombshell, Allison McGevna, is one of my favorite faces to paint: her glowing skin, perfect eyebrows and killer smile. With all these attributes in place, what else is there to do but PLAY! The Complexion: This was the easy part! I kept her skin, creamy and glowy by working a warm-toned bronzer around her forehead, under cheekbones and jawline, and along the sides of her nose. Then I topped off her cheeks with a pinky-peach blush. The Eyes: After prepping Allie’s eyelid with a black waterproof primer, I smoked out her crease with a deep grey-brown. I was going for a strong eye so I went in pretty heavily. On the lower waterline I took a white kohl eyeliner and highlighted. With a small smudge brush, I intensified this white line by warming up the lower lashes with a chestnut brown. Now the fun part… mixing a little waterproof liquid converter (Makeup Forever has one called Aqua Seal) and an eye glitter in a high impact fuchsia, I gave Allie’s eyes Technicolor vibrancy by adding sparkle to her lid. And of course, a look like this is never complete without a pair of lashes! The Lips: Kept it simple…creamy nude with a hint of pink! #PLUSMODELMAG SEP 2013 / PLUS-MODEL-MAG.COM
