Learn How to Get Makeup Like Fergie: Same Makeup Look, Different Hair Color!
HOW TO GET MAKEUP LIKE FERGIE: SKIN
Step 1: Fergie’s skin always looks fresh and glow-y. Using a natural oil-free cleanser, such as Glytone Step up Mild Gel Wash, and moisturizer, like AFA Oil-Free Moisturizer, is a must. Use both products day and night, and especially under your makeup to prime your skin.
Step 2: Immediately after you moisturize, apply a light even coat of a sheer coverage liquid foundation, such as Joey New York Pure Pores Foundation, all over the face to even out the skin. If you have very oily skin, dust a sheer cover of powder, like Nars Powder Foundation, on top with a big fluffy natural hair brush, such as Cover FX 190 Powder Foundation Buffing Brush. If your skin is more normal to dry, do not use too much powder. Fergie’s skin is always a bit dewy and never too matte.
For the cheeks, a sheer peachy powder blush, like Purely Cosmetics Natural Mineral Blush in Blushing, is really the only color you need. Apply with a similar buffing brush as the one you used to apply the finishing powder.
Step 1:Keep the eye shadow to a minimum for this look, using only warm golden colors, like MAC Cosmetics Shadows in Ricepaper and Sable. Use a lighter creamy golden color, like Ricepaper, as your base and highlight all over the lid and use a darker golden bronze, like Sable, in the crease of the eye to add some depth and shimmer. To add a bit of a smoky feel, trace black soft kohl pencil eyeliner, like Benefits Kohl Liner, lightly around the inside of the eye’s.
Step 2: Make sure you curl your lashes and apply a few coats of lengthening mascara, like Smashbox Bionic Mascara in Jet Black. Be aware of evenly separating the lashes with the brush to avoid those thick clumpy lashes. This technique will create those big sexy eyes like Fergie's.
Step 3: For the eyebrows, just run a soft brow pencil, like Benefit Cosmetics Instant Brow Pencil, in a color that is close to your hair color through the hair. Softly fill in the brows and accentuate the arch. Then comb a clear gel, like TRUE Cosmetics Finishing Brow Gel, through your brows to set them for the night.
On the lips, just apply a healthy coat of a sheer peachy, very shiny lip gloss. It Girl has a fun line of lip glosses that are travel sized and attach right onto your purse, wallet, or cell phone (my fave is Your Royal Highness).
