Sophie Ellis-Bextor revealed her biggest makeup secrets and gave fans a rundown on the products she uses as well as her best tips and trick to recreate her signature sparkling eyes.
The summer is the perfect time to wear minimal makeup. The scorching sun and intense heat make it impossible for many to wear heavy foundations or dramatic eyeshadows for fear that they will melt off.
We love the low-maintenance berry shades of lipstick and the best foundations for warmer months. But Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s tricks are the best makeup tips we’ve ever seen for older women. So much so that we’re considering adding more bold and bright styles to our summer looks.
She revealed on Instagram that she fell in ‘love’ with the dramatic eye look after her makeup artist created it for her iconic Murder On The Dancefloor video. She said that she has been in a love affair with the style ever since.
Sophie creates a cat-eye on both eyes after priming her eyelids with foundation.
She creates a base using an eyeshadow that complements the glitter she plans to use. She covers her entire lid in the shade and blends it into the crease for a blown-out look.
Then, it’s time to add the glitter. This is clearly Sophie’s favorite part. She uses a holographic MAC MAC glitter and taps glitter glue on her eyeshadow for it to stick. “Ladle it! Make it nice and thin. She wrote in her caption about the application technique that “some will fall but most of them will stick, I promise.”
You’re finished after applying mascara and tidying up the eyeliner. You’re now festival-ready!
