Eyes that Sparkle!
Doll-Like Eye Makeup - All about embracing vibrant colours, shimmering glitters, and playful femininity. Here's a simple step-by-step guide to achieving a captivating Barbie eye makeup look using my favourite products:
Start off with the brows, brush the hairs upwards and outwards and apply a soft colour that matches with your natural brow colour. Set with the one and only Anatasia Bevereley Hills brow freeze - an absolute must have with your everyday makeup:
Step 1: Prep and Prime - Start by applying an eyeshadow primer to your eyelids. This will help your eyeshadows adhere better and prevent creasing throughout the day. One of my personal favourites when creating a beautiful rose gold eye is Mac Cosmetics Longwear Paint Pot in shade Vintage Selection.
Step 2: Start with the crease: Select a medium-toned eyeshadow shade in a warm colour. Using a fluffy blending brush, apply the eyeshadow to your crease and blend it softly for a seamless transition. I personally love this palette by Two Faced Cosmetics to create a beautiful bridal eye look.
Step 3: Pop of Color on the Lid: Now, it's time to add a vibrant pop of colour to your eyelids. As you can probably guess, Barbie loves her pinks. So choose a bold pink eyeshadow shade and apply it to the center of your eyelids. You can use a flat eyeshadow brush to pack on the colour for maximum impact. I personally love using the Charlotte Tilbury cream formula in shade Rose Gold.
or the Kiko eyeshadow sticks which are a beautiful creamy formula and super easy to use.
Step 4: Glitter Allure To take your Barbie eye makeup to the next level, add some glitter! Choose a fine pink or silver glitter eyeshadow and apply it to the inner corners of your eyes and the center of your eyelids. Glitter will add that extra sparkle and make your eyes stand out. I love using a variety of pigments and glitter to add that intensity. The brands I love for these are Peaches and Cream pigments and elf cosmetics!
Step 5: Lashes: Adding a cluster of lashes to finish off the eyes. I love the Ardell 421 lashes. Lightweight, fluffy and pretty!
Kissable Barbie Lips
Pout Perfection: Every Barbie girl needs kissable, perfectly pouted lips. Get ready to show off your pouty lips and embrace your inner Barbie glam.
To create the perfect poutable lips, start off by using a lip moisturiser to add hydration and plumpness to the area. Lips are one of the areas on the face that gets affected by dehydration so applying a luxious product is a must.

My must have lipliners and lipstick's:
NYX Lipliner in shade 'Peekaboo' - a subtle pretty pink that works perfectly with many rosy colours.
Bobby Brown Lipliner in shade 'Ballet Pink' - creating the illusion of fuller, more show-stopping lips. Equipped with a lightweight yet buttery formula, the pencil is able to glide effortlessly across your pout.
Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick 'Runway Royalty' A neautral pink that works for all skin types. A popular colour used with most of my brides. A lipstick fit for a princess!
Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in shade 'JK Magic' Another gorgous nude/pink shade with a hint of gloss that glides on beautifully when applied.
NYX Buttergloss in shade 'Tiramisu' My absolute go to in my kit! As stated a gorgeous butterly formula which is super lightweight when applied on the lips.
Finish off with a setting spray and there you have it! A personal favourite of mine in Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Airbrush Setting Spray. Check out my recent time lapse of my signature bridal makeup which includes some subtle Barbie vibes!
