BRITNEY SERIES: Hold It Against Me Make Up

Seeing as my last Britney Spears make up tutorial thing was pretty successful, I thought I'd do another one from her Hold It Against Me video. This video is definitely in my top 5 favourite Britney videos. For the general public, it's just a well put together video but for the fans, it has a deeper meaning. It subtly showcases her life and it's also made better by the fact that she looks beautiful. Her make up in the video is on form and I've always loved it. It's a simple eye liner look that when trying to recreate, is very hard! I'm not terribly happy with how this turned out but seeing as I don't really have anything else to post about today I thought I'd show you the final eye make up.
The eye liner that has been used is 17's Falsifye and the and the false lashes are Kiss Premium Lashes in 02. The eye liner was actually very hard to do and it took me a while to do it. It did look a lot sharper in real life but when it transferred to pictures, it looks a lot softer and doesn't have such a 'clean cut' edge. I'm hoping to re-do this soon and hopefully make it look a lot better.
On skin, I'd have used a full coverage foundation as Britney's skin is so flawless. I'd have added a little bit of Benefit's High Beam to add a lovely glow and MAC's Pink Swoon blush to add a pop of colour to the cheeks. On the lips, I'd have used a pink lip gloss such as Avon's ColorTrend in Sheer Pink. I also thought it'd be a good idea to post the video for you as the above picture isn't that good.. Plus the video is too good to miss!
Would you like to see more of these looks? I'm considering recreating Britney's Slave 4 U make up?
