Make up tricks & tips for the iconic Brigitte Bardot look of peachy perfection, smoky eyes and lots of lashes. What you will need:

  • Eyeliner
  • A darker eyeshadow to create a smoky eye
  • Volumizing mascara/Set of glue on lashes
  • Nude/Apricot/soft pink lip liner and lipstick
  1. Once you have a neutral base, start by taking your darker eyeshadow and sweep it across your eyelid, all the way up to your crease. Using a lighter colour can be a more casual option.
  2. Next, BLEND. Dark eyeshadow can look very harsh and amateur if you don’t blend it well enough. My recommendation would be to take a fluffy eyeshadow brush and use a “windshield wiper motion” across the shadow as many times as it takes to see the edges start to soften up.
  3. Now it’s time for liner. This can be one of the toughest parts of the look if you are not comfortable putting on liner, but with practice comes perfection. Line your upper lash-line with your liner and bring it out a little past your eye to give it that cat-eye, winged look. Don’t forget to line your bottom lash line as well. Smudge with a Q-tip to keep it messy and sexy.
  4. Apply 3-4 coats of volumizing mascara to top off the eyes or apply your false lashes.
  5. Line your lips with a nude lipliner, preferably one that is the same colour, or slightly darker than your lips. I love the Issada Bashful lip liner.
  6. Next, apply your lipstick.
  7. Finish off the look by applying your foundation, making sure to clean up any fallout from the dark eyeshadow. Brigitte’s face was kept relatively nude with not much blush. If you feel you need a bit of colour on your cheeks, opt for a neutral peach shade, if you want to make it a little more modern some soft contouring and highlighting with the Issada mineral Glowbook would complete your modern Bridgette Bardot look.
