Get the look - Tiwa Savage Standing Ovation (Pictorial)

Hello friends. Good week so far? I hope so...Today’s post is a 'get the look' post. I didn’t plan on doing a “get the look” post anytime soon but I stumbled on this look of Tiwa Savage on instagram and thought it would be fun. This look is one of the looks from Tiwa Savage’s music video ‘Standing Ovation’ featuring Olamide, the look is by celebrity makeup artist Joyce Jacobs(click here for my first 'get the look' post featuring Toke Makinwa). On another note though, this Tiwa’s pose gave me a ridiculously hard time, I literally took hundreds of pictures and came up with nothing. I just eventually gave up and picked one from the ridiculous bunch. This look is fairly easy; it features burgundy brown eyes paired with red lips. Keep reading as I show you how to get a similar look…

• I started with the eye makeup, you can do your eye makeup last (whatever your preference is). Do your brows

• Prime eyelids

• Apply lid color. Tiwa Savage had a burgundy brown color on her lids, apply whatever color you have closest to that shade

• Place a darker brown color on the outer corner of the eyes and blend it into the crease, also highlight the brow bone

• Line both your upper lid and under eye

• Apply mascara and your choice of false lashes

• Apply foundation and blend well

• Highlight the under eye and set, then apply powder all over your face

• Lightly contour face as Tiwa’s face was not heavily contoured but her nose contour was precise, apply blush

• Line lips with a darker burgundy colour

• Apply red lipstick and that’s it!!

That wasn’t so tricky now was it? 

This is a very versatile look, it can be worn to work, church, school, events, hangouts but without the bandana of course or with (if that’s your fancy). Thank you for dropping by, best wishes for the rest of the week. Till my next post, keep slaying, xoxo.
