Selena Gomez: Billboard Awards


I did Selena's makeup for the Billboard Awards. Here's what I used: For the face, I started by applying mark For Goodness Face Moisturizer. Then I applied mark Primed for Perfection Face Primer all over the face, using the foundation brush. For a dramatic look, I start with the eyes because it's easier to clean up the fallen eyeshadow before applying foundation. For the eyes, I started with mark Please Hold Eye Primer in Light to Medium all over the lid. I applied I-Mark eyeshadow in Fairy Dust to the inner eyelid with an eyeshadow brush. I added I-Mark in Plum Velvet to the outer lid and crease using the eyeshadow brush. Then I blended the edges with the blending brush. I added I-Mark eyeshadow in Corset to the top and bottom lashline using the eyeliner brush. I rimmed the eyes with mark No Place to Run eyeliner pencil in Jet Set. I finished the eyes with two coats of mark Scandalash in Blacklash. I used mark Make It Go Away Wipes to remove the fallen eyeshadow on the face. Once the face is cleaned off, I applied mark Min-A-Real foundation in Honey with a foundation brush. I used mark Good Riddance concealer in Light/Medium under her eyes and around her nose. Then I applied mark Just Pinched in Cheeky to the apples of the cheek. I dusted mark Matte-nificent Powder in Honey/Golden with a powder brush to set the look. Then, I added mark Bronze Pro in Pro Golden using the angled contour face brush. I layered mark Good Glowing Mosaic Blush in Chica using the blush/bronzer brush to the apple of the cheeks. For the lips, I layered mark lipclick in Sweetie Pie and Pro Gloss in Swell.

For the eyes, I applied mark Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner & Shadow Duo in Exposure (mixing both Taupe and Brown Colors) to the eyelid and the bottom lashline with the flat eyeliner brush.
