We all remember the Olsen twins for their role on Full House
when they were barely walking, but since then they’ve had a rollercoaster ride
adjusting to the life that has become typical for a Hollywood child star. One
of their stand out features is their unique sense of style (did someone say bag
lady?!) and I am personally a huge fan of the makeup looks they tend to play
around with. Today I have recreated a look that is inspired by both young
ladies, drawing on the non-smiling nature of their street style and the smudgy bronze
makeup they tend to favour.
To recreate this look I layered a few coats of Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze over my lids, and
smudged it quite low underneath my eye. I love the consistency of this shade
and how it can be worn sheer or layered and it always looks great. I blended the edges with a fluffy brush and applied a
few coats of Face of Australia Impact Curl mascara, and that was it for
the eyes!
I’m trialling a few new base products at the moment, and for
this look I went for the Palmer’s
Eventone BB Cream in Fair/Light*. It gave quite a nice finish to the skin,
but I went in with my Maybelline
SuperStay Concealer as I have a few blemishes and redness in my skin that
the BB cream didn’t completely cover. I
chose my favourite neutral blush as the Olsen girls tend to veer away from
bright cheeks, and the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed seemed like the
kind of shade that would look beautiful on them. I set everything with a light dusting of Face of Australia Loose Powder in Outback Translucent.*
I originally chose Rimmel
Nude Delight lipstick for this look, but once it was applied I remembered
why I only ever wear this shade underneath a gloss – by itself it just isn’t
flattering on me! Once I threw a bit of Elianto
Baby Nude over the top I was really happy with the result, and thought it
suited the overall look nicely.
Do you think I captured the bohemian/chic style of Mary Kate
and Ashley Olsen?
I actually felt beautiful in this look (especially once I cracked
a smile!) and have worn a variation of it quite often since I took these
photos.
Who are your style icons? I'd love for you to tell me about their style in the comments!
