Recreate the Face: Scarlett Johansson for ELLE UK

I have been a little obsessed with Scarlett Johansson's editorial for the ELLE UK February 2013 issue. I have kept it on my table since I got it and glancing through it over and over. I particularly love the way her makeup was done for the editorial. It is basically my favourite type of look - simple, fresh and pretty! I decided I have to take a crack at re-creating the look myself, so here it goes.



Face
1. Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturiser in 'Mocha'
2. Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder in 'Warm Chestnut'
3. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in 'Chestnut'
4. Laura Mercier Cream Highlighter (bottom left)







Eyes
5. Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturiser in 'Mocha'
6. Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colour in 'Rose Gold'
7. MAC Eyeshadow in 'Twinks'
8. MAC Eyeshadow in 'Swiss Chocolate'
9. Dior Lash Plumping Serum
10. MAC Eyebrow Pencil in 'Stud'
11. Sleek Eyeshadow in 'Bark'




Lips
12. Chanel Lipstick in 'Rouge Coco'
13. Reve de Miel Lip Balm
14. MAC Lipstick in 'Velvet Teddy'







I am actually quite pleased with the final look. This is the first time I have ever attempted to recreate a look I saw in a magazine or anywhere else so I think I managed quite alright, especially with the eyeshadow which I am completely clueless with! I adapted the look a bit to match my skin tone and I think it turned out all right!

  4. Good job. Scarlett Johanssen's look is mostly sexy and you nailed it, in your own way of course.
