We Take the Katy Perry Dark Horse Cleopatra Look into Every Day Wear
Katy Perry premiered her video for Dark Horse and took on the role of Katy Patra. She is an absolute goddess and though I don't know how I feel about the chunky grills, we definitely loved her Egyptian make-up look. Of course, the exaggerated lines don't exactly bode well for the office, which is why we decided to recreate this look with a more wearable approach in mind.
Katy's look was done by makeup artist Jake Bailey using CoverGirl products. Check out the five easy steps to help you transform into an Egyptian queen. To avoid getting glitter all over your foundation start with the eyes first!
1. Use a black liquid liner to draw an intricate winged design around the lid. To tone it down simply follow the top lash line and create a wing effect on the outer lid.
2. Add some much needed sparkle shadow to add to the goddess look. Katy used Covergirl Shine Shadow in Gold Goddess for the center and inner lid and Ooh La Lilac on the outer corners.
3. While it was still wet, Bailey tapped on glitter for extra oomph.
4. To complete the goddess eye, add a strip of false lashes and two coats of Bombshell Volume Mascara.
5. Once the eyes are finished, he used foundation, concealer, blush and powder as normal.
6. The look is finished with lipstick in a blackberry hue - Euphoria by Covergirl LipPerfection, apparently it's one of Katy's faves!
1. After adding a winged line on my top lid, I lined the bottom of the outer rim with Maybelline ColourShow Kohl Liner in Vibrant Violet. I also winged the liner up to meet the black cat eye.
2. To blend the eyeshadow I added Sephora Baked Eyeshadow Trio in At duck to the centre of my lid and to trace below my brow bone.
3. To finish off my look I added CoverGirl Clean Glow Blusher in Peaches to the apple of my cheeks up to my temple. I also used Scandal Eye Retro Glam Mascara by Rimmel London to accent the dark eye and CoverGirl lipstick in Euphoria.
Here are the products I used:
1. I did a basic cat eye with a slight exaggerated wing
2. Then, over the CoverGirl Shine Shadows, I used my Too Faced 'A Few of My Favourite Things' palette in a gold and plum shade to set the cream.
3. I went over my liner with the liquid liner again and then added a lower line and extended it.
4. I finished my look with a swipe of lipstick and a few coats of mascara
And here is everything I used:
