BRITNEY SERIES: Radar Make Up

This make up isn't perfect and if I could, I would've used a completely matte grey that was a few shades darker than the one I used. But unfortunately, I don't use greys very often and I especially am not a big fan of matter eye shadows so I don't own one. But this look was pretty simple to recreate. It's from Britney's music video for her single Radar. It isn't one of her best music videos but there's no doubt that she looks beautiful throughout it - that is including her make up.
On the eyes all I used was Urban Decay's Pistol colour. I pressed it onto the eye lid and blended it outwards to create a 'V' sign and elongate the eye. I then used Urban Decay's Blackout as an eyeliner as Britney's eyeliner is this look is pretty soft which is something that's hard to achieve using an actual eye liner. The mascara I used was Lancome's Hypnose for reference.
I also don't own any red lipsticks so I tried my hardest to recreate a red lipstick using coral colours. I used MAC's Costa Chic and Barbara Daly's Coral. Once again not perfect, but the closest I could get.

I actually really like this but I do think it'd look a lot better with a matte grey eyeshadow like the one Britney is wearing.
