WE CALL IT PECOS-PRETTY
We got down and dirty at the rodeo for the Pecos collection and makeup artist Lisa Martensen made sure the girls looked the part in the campaign. The inspiration for hair and makeup was rodeo queens doing their thing in the middle of the arena. We're talkin' undone, natural makeup that looks like you've just ridden a horse or roped a buckin' bronco in the ring. It's actually the perfect kind of makeup for everyday because it's easy to apply, lightweight and looks lived in. Like your skin but better. Ready to be Pecos-pretty? Here's how to recreate the look:
FACE
Lisa used no foundation at all for the Pecos looks and instead focused on simply covering any little blemishes, imperfections or dark circles with concealer instead. By using thin layers only where it was needed, the natural beauty of the girls' skin really shone through. And that's how it should be. Don't apply a full face of makeup just 'cause you think you should. You only need a few little touch ups that are well blended to be Pecos-pretty.
EYES
For the lids, Lisa took MAC Pro Longwear Fluid Eyeliner Gel in the shade Low Lights and smudged it all-over for a softer take on a smokey eye. By blending the edges the end result is much more natural than something harsh like a cat eye. Plus it doesn't matter if your makeup skills aren't perfect, with an undone look like this no-one can tell if you mess up.
LIPS
Both girls are wearing MAC Frost Lipstick in “O” for the Pecos campaign. It's a purplish-red color that looks really deep and kinda intimidating in the tube but it goes on much lighter than you expect with a gorgeous golden pearl undertone. A great day to night shade.
HAIR
To finish off the look, the hair was kept as simple and natural as possible. No excessive heat or crazy tools here, just some Aquage Detailing Creme to create texture and definition without a ton of flyaways. For the ultimate, I just got done ridin' hairstyle.
