There's a
challenge at makeup alley makeup board about doing a look based on Mexican
telenovelas from the 90's, which means a lot of makeup on. The inspiration pics
provided were mostly from Thalia's telenovelas, Maria Mercedes mostly. Since
those were on tv when I was a child, I keep memories of other celebrities who
were out those days and decided to get inspiration from Bibi Gaytan: Thalia's
rival in people's preferences at that moment.
She was in the teen band Timbiriche as Thalia, and was featured in
Alcanzar una Estrella 2 (the first Telenovela Ricky Martin was in) and Dos
Mujeres, un Camino (with Eric Estada, who was in a cop series in the US in the
80's). Here are my inspiration pics:
As you
can see, smokey eyes, mostly brownish blush and as typical in Mexican
telenovelas (still nowadays) strong contouring.
What did
I do? First of all, I had to make my self look tan, so I used Chanel cream
bronzer all over my face -you can see that it won't look orangey if well
blended. I first contoured with RCMA Shinto IV foundation and then with Bobbi
Brown dark bisque corrector. I highlighted with Nars South Beach multiple. I
set with Too Faced Chocolate Soleil and contoured, again, with Mac Blunt blush.
For blush I used Too Faced Mocha Mi Amore blush and Powdered Sun as
highlighter.
For eyes
I used Bobbi Brown rose gold all over the lid and Inglot 450 too, Nars Eddie on
brow bone and Blondie near the lash line. I also used an old Laura Mercier
palette, Pink Rain, the lightest and darkest shades, on brow bone and near lash
line. I used Guerlian Terracota kohl on waterline and many coats of Maxilash
mascara.
I also
placed some RCMA Shinto II foundation on my brows to hide them and then lined
my brows to make them look thinner. I think this was the most difficult part of
all the look, fortunately brows are thicker and fuller nowadays, so I can keep
mine more natural :)
For lips,
I tried three different shades: I first lined with Benefit Betty liner and
Laura Mercier After Hours lipgloss, yes,
dark liner and light lipgloss lol. Then, I went for brown: Burberry Mocha Glow,
but thought I could make it darker and applied Nars Rouge Tribal lipgloss.
For comparison purposes, that was me the same day in the morning
Somehow, I don't feel I look that different... maybe it's because people all over me are lost in the 80's and 90's so they still use those looks and I just feel part of the crowd? lol Comments are always welcome... Do you have any other ideas for a 90's telenovela look?
