Get the Look: Selena Gomez's Hit the Lights



Selena Gomez's new music video, Hit the Lights was one of my favorite music videos she has ever done. I love the relaxed vibe of the video and all of the different looks in the video are very pretty.  This look is one of my favorites. It is wearable but still a fun and daring look with the bright lips. Hear is how to get the look!                                                                                












1. Set your your canvas! Put on your favorite foundation and setting powder, and conceal and blemishes. This will provide a base for the rest of your makeup. 


2. Give some life to your face! Put on a matte bronzer. Use a bronzer that is not that much darker than your skin. Just one to give your skin a little color and glow. The key to making bronzer look natural is apply it to where the sun naturally would hit your face. To do this suck in the make a fishy face and apply the bronzer under your cheek bones, the temples of your cheeks and up your forehead, making an E and a 3 on your face. 
The bronzer I recommend the color wheel mosaic face powder in all over bronze glow. It is very affordable and it provides a glow to your skin.

2. Give yourself a glow! Apply a light peach pink colored blush. I recommend the NYX powdered blush in the shade Pinched. You can find this blush in stores or online at www.ulta.com 




3. Selena Gomez's eyes in this part of the music video are really natural! Prime your eyes with an eye primer. Then apply a shimery topey brown color to the lid, like the color in the bottom right of this pallete, which can be purchased at any Target or online at http://www.target.com/p/ELF-Eyeshadow-Palette/-/A-13716591#?lnk=sc_qi_detailimage
ELF is one of my favorite makeup companies because it is very good quality and it is extremely affordable.







Apply Mac's Brun to your crease, and the lightest color in the ELF palette to your brow bone and tear duct area. 

















4. Time for mascara and eyeliner!
Apply your favorite black liquid eyeliner on the upper lashline, and a black pencil eyeliner on your water line.



5. Selena's bright pink lips are the focal point of her look. I recommend Revlon's ColorBurst Lip Butter in Rasberry Pie. These lip butters are moisturizing and perfect for if you want color, but not something that is as intense as a lipstick. 


Now you are ready to go Hit The Lights!
