SO I recently saw the new Lana Del Ray Ride video, and I could not stop watching it! I've always been a big fan of hers, but this video blew me away. I just had to re-create the makeup, which was actually pretty simple. She didn't go for her usual winged liner and red-orange lips. The vibe of the video was about being free and not being held down, so I don't think heavy makeup would have worked for that. Of course she still has on big lashes, but overall it was a pretty simple look. Here is my interpretation:
I left the eyes pretty bare with just a bit of shading to accentuate the eye contours, and a smudgy gray on the lower lash line. I also used large lashes. The cheeks have a touch of a peachy pink blush and a teeny bit of a contour, as well as nude lips. It's not 100% like Lana but it's what I felt inspired to do. Here are some screen grabs from her video for reference:
It's no secret I'm a makeup addict, in fact I constantly have dreams that I win tons of free makeup. In reality I have won a few makeup contests and giveaways. Most recently a MUFE flash palette ($95!!). The sad thing is I still want more, and asked for a lot of makeup in my Christmas list this year (besides the new Lego Harry Potter yrs 5-7 game for wii!). I completely blame YouTube for this obsession, I had never even heard of brands like MAC, Urban Decay, and Too Faced before YT. I honestly didn't even start wearing more than eyeliner and foundation untill college, when the craze began. Perhaps I should start a Makeup Addicts Anonymous group.
Nah...I'd probably just end up buying things on the DL ;)
