Golden Glow Makeup Inspired by Chrissy Teigen

Ok, so we can’t all be born looking incomparably gorgeous like Chrissy Teigen or live her incredibly charmed life – Hello! Making $$$$ off of your good looks and being married to John Legend, to boot! However, I CAN steal her makeup. That’s the best li’l ol’ me can do. Anyhoo, I suddenly felt the urge to recreate a celebrity look the other night and Chrissy came to mind. Being half Thai, she and I sort of share a southeast Asian background. Also, our coloring and facial structures are similar enough that I figured I could make something work. I came across a fabulous red carpet image of her while browsing Google and knew it was the one. I just adore this glowing, golden look with a warm, smokey eye. How do you think I did?

Haha, I don’t think I’m any closer to looking like her, but I do think that this color scheme is pretty flattering on my complexion. I’m a little yellower than Chrissy and wasn’t as heavy-handed on the blush as her makeup artist. Overall, I like the way it turned out. Here is a close up of the eyes, created with the original UD Naked palette.

I went a little heavier on the highlight and contour than with my normal makeup. I definitely don’t see myself going out every day like this, but heavier makeup does look wonderful in photos. I think I’ll reserve this look for special occasions.

Isn’t it amazing what good lighting and makeup can do? I did not use ANY filters for these images. Anyhoo, thanks for reading and hope you guys enjoyed this post. Happy hump day, until next time! 🙂

Hugs,
Cat
