Time for another celebrity-inspired makeup!
She has acted in Tron Legacy, House and In Time. Yup! Olivia Wilde.
She has a really nice figure that’s accompanied with a square jaw that accentuates her sexiness.
Her look consists of high cheekbones and a strong eye makeup which makes her blue eyes stand out. The rest of the face would be neutral with a bit of a pinky flush on her cheeks which adds a slight feel of innocence amongst all the sexiness that’s going on.
{ FOUNDATION }
Her type of look is matte, so of course we need a foundation that gives a matte finish.
Drugstore : Revlon Colorstay
This foundation gives a matte surface (duh.) and also has SPF in it! So if you’re the lazy kind, this can be a 2-in-1 kind of product. This foundation also has 2 different types to suit people with different skin issues. Normal / dry or combo / oily. It’s only $10.99 and there’s a hugeeee variety of shades for you to choose from.
High end : NARS Sheer Matte Foundation
This gives a sheer and matte finish and the coverage can also be built up. So if you’re the kind who wants a totally flawless finish, you can apply this over the areas that needs more coverage. One bottle is priced at $44 and there are 20 different shades to choose from.
{ CONCEALER }
Olivia has a flawless face so for those of us with imperfections that show through under the foundation, this is essential.
Drugstore : Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer
This can act as a concealer and highlighter as well, when used under the eyes, it can make them look “brighter” and more awake. Which in turns would focus on the eyes. This is specially formulated for undereyes, but it can also be used for unwanted spots. It’s $8.31 and comes in 6 shades. If you want something else because you’ve been blessed without eye bags, you can opt for the Dark Spot Corrector + Treatment.
It’s $7.99 and comes in 5 shades.
High end : NARS Creamy Concealer
This is great at concealing! It’s crease-proof and has moisturizing properties, instead of drying the skin like some products do. $28 and has 10 shades. The wand makes everything more hygienic.
{ EYEBROWS}
Wilde has thin, but full brows and I know some of us are pretty unfortunate and have sparse brows, so this step is needed! But if you’re blessed with full brows, feel free to skip this!
Drugstore : Physicians Formula Brow Definer Automatic Brow Pencil
We don’t really want a think brow pencil / brow wax because it’ll be more difficult to control and our brows might end up too thick. This is a perfect size and comes with a brush too! How convenient. $5.95 with 2 shades available!
High end : Anastasia Brow Wiz
This has a really really thin pencil on one end, which allows us to define the brows easily. Be careful with the amount of force you apply on the product, or else it’ll break because it’s so thin! The spooly on one end allows you to comb throw the brows and makes us look more polished.
{ MASCARA }
A mascara that lengthens and volumizes well is essential, because the eye area is where we want emphasis on.
Drugstore : Maybelline Volum Express The Falsies mascara
This adds volume, lengthens AND doesn’t clump! Clumping of lashes makes them appear unnatural and ugly, and as you can see from Olivia’s lashes, they’re flared out and separated beautifully, so this will work well! Waterproof or not, it’s your choice! Priced at only $5.99, I’d definitely say that this is a steal.
High end : Too Faced Lashgasm Mascara
This mascara has many bristles and with little “hooks” on them that can grab each lash and allows them to flare out to the best of their ability! The color is intense as well, which would attract people to look at them. *eye flirts* $21 only!
{ EYELINER }
This is another product that enhances the looks of the eyes and she has a teensy weensy bit of a winged eyeliner (cat eye) so a pen formula / felt tip would be easier to do that!
Drugstore : L’Oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Eyeliner
This has a thin felt tip which would be easy (especially for beginners!) to use, and for a winged effect, this would do the job easily because it is easy to control and we all use pens right? This is just like a pen. It comes in 2 shades, and it’s only $9.49.
High end : Tarte multiplEYE Liquid Liner
This has a really tiny felt tip and has the same properties as the drugstore version.
{ EYESHADOW }
Honestly, you can skip this step because the eyeliner and mascara has done the job of making the eyes the focus points, but if you feel insecure without eyeshadow, here are 2 options.
Drugstore : Maybelline Color Tattoo
Only Bad to the Bronze or Tough as Taupe is recommended to achieve her look! Those 2 are the most neutral and allows the eyes to stand out more. If you use a color that stands out a lot, your eye area will seem as though there’s a party ongoing around there. A big party. It’s only $5.83 and is an “everyday usage” kind of thing, so it’s worth your money!
High end : Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
Not much of a surprise huh? It’s raved about everywhere on YouTube and well, it is worth the hype because the colors are super neutral and versatile, great pigmentation too! It may be $27 and a little pricey, but totally worth it.
{ BLUSH }
A subtle blush is enough for her look because it only adds some “cheekiness” and not to pass off as super lively.
Drugstore : Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush
I chose a cream blush because it’s much easier to blend and a small amount would go a long way. Be careful not to overdo it though, or else you’ll end up like a joker. Not cool. Any color is fine, but steer clear from bright ones, a subtle and light color is much better! It’s $10.39 and comes in 3 colors!
High end : Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush
This blush gives a nice glow and there are many colors that are suitable for this look. I specially recommend the coral one, just because it’s so feminine and pretty! It’s $26 and comes in a range of 8 colors to choose from!
{ BRONZER }
To give that sun-kissed glow and an illusion (if you don’t have) of high cheek bones that Olivia has, bronzers can do well in contouring and making it seem like you’ve spent a fair amount of time under the sun!
Drugstore : Rimmel Natural Bronzer
This gives a warm glow and helps make you look naturally tanned. Apply it near the bottom of your cheekbones to make that area “sink in” and allow your cheekbones to stand out. It’s only $5.49 and comes in 2 shades to suit your skin tone!
High end : The Balm Bahama Mama Bronzer
This is a matte bronzer and the product can be layered so that you can get your perfect look. Plus point, the packaging is really cute! It’s $19 on beauty.com
{ LIP PRODUCT }
Last but not least, lippies can help complete the whole look. For her kind though, a sheer lippy with minimal amounts of gloss and a natural pink is needed!
Drugstore : L’Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain
This is hydrating and is a mix between a gloss and a stain. Rose on and On and Pink Perseverance are the only 2 colors recommended because the rest are too bright and they stand out too much when applied. Pink Perseverance might be a little too pinky on some as well. It’s $9.99 and is available in 12 shades!
High end : Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy
This has been highly raved about by Estee and it is pretty sheer, suitable for the look we’re going for. It is light and gives great hydration too. It’s $32 on sephora.com and there are 12 shades available. I would recommend Tasty Raspberry (above), Dewy Papaya and Juicy Grapefruit as they’re slight pink and almost nude. The rest are a little too dark!
Now, spritz on Daisy by Marc Jacobs because it’s a very feminine and pleasant scent.
Outfit : Floral dresses or maxi dresses will do well, along with flats. A pair of simple earrings or necklace will work too, don’t overdo on accessories though! A mini sling bag would look good.
Keep your hairdo simple, either let it down with a little bit of curls or tie it up into a simple ponytail.
I hope you have benefitted from this inspired look and there’ll be many more to come!
