Pixie Lott was the supporting act for Rhianna's "Last Girl On Earth Tour". There were two different looks created by Lauren Gollan, a MAC make up artist.
We spoke to Lauren and got the lowdown on how to achieve Pixie's make up look.
How to create Pixies smoky eye:
EYES: Firstly apply M.A.C's Blacktrack fluid line as the base colour, with M.A.C Carbon eyeshadow pressed on top, with a small eyeshadow brush. Then I blended out to the socket with Swiss Chocolate eyeshadow and Arena M.A.C eyeshadow, using a softer eyeshadow blender brush like M.A.C 224 brush. Then apply Christian Dior Diorshow Iconic Mascara (£17.99) for a dramatic lash look.
Tip - use fix powder to blend M.A.C 's Arena eyeshadow into the skin to create a seemless affect.
BASE: Stila Illuminating Liquid Foundation 20 Watts (£12.99) was used on her skin to create a perfect air-brushed glowing effect, as her skin was almost perfect any way. Then I contoured her cheeks using M.A.C's Sculpting Powders in Bone-Beige and the blusher was called Ladyblush, also by M.A.C, to keep the dewy texture to the skin. I then set with Blot Powder in Medium to absorb any excess oil .
BROWS AND LIPS: Groomed brows with M.A.C Lingering brow pencil and set with Clear Brow Set. I finished off the look with M.A.C Cherry lip pencil and Lancome Colour Fever Lipstick in Soho Red (£9.99).
The second look was created using the same skin, but using Peaches blusher instead.
The eyes were prepped with Stila smudge pot (£8.99) in colbolt with M.A.C Blue Reflects, which is a loose glitter with a blue hue. This was pressed on top with an eyeshadow brush, then I blended out to the socket with Steamy, Plumage and Carbon M.A.C eyeshadow.
Tip - apply the Stila Smudge pot first then blend the steamy, plumage and carbon M.A.C's eyeshadow after. Then I applied more stila smudge pot eyeliner so it was extra wet for the blue reflects to be applied on top and stop the glitter from dropping.
The look was finished off with M.A.C's Spice lip pencil and Ravishing creamsheen lipstick , then for added pout try Stila IT Lip Gloss (£4.99) in Interesting.
