Cheryl Cole - Elle magazine cover look by Lisa Eldridge

Watch this video on my site for product links, tips and more info. Sorry about the ads on this one! It’s completely beyond my control as it serves as revenue for the publishers of Elle magazine. After posting the pictures on my blog, I had loads of requests to film a tutorial for this look which I created for Cheryl Cole’s February ELLE cover. It’s a great look as it’s cool and sexy without being overdone, and it suits the majority of faces and skin tones. My main aim was to create a ’lived-in’ smoky eye, smudgy and imperfect, which looked great paired with strong brows and a pale lip. The other main focal point of the look was strong, sculpted cheekbones, created with lots of blush and contouring - you can see some of the techniques I used on Cheryl here, and I have also filmed a Basic Powder Contouring tutorial which will give you some more tips and advice if you need it. I hope you enjoy the film!
