INIKA Mineral Cosmetics

According to Vogue Australia, 1950s style hair is back in a big Bridget Bardot way. This is how they say you can create the look:

“Roughly blow dry or air dry your hair, then add some Batiste Dry Shampoo spray at the roots to give it some grip, and start teasing the hair just behind the crown until you have given it some height. Smooth the top layer over into a slightly disheveled, half-up do, and secure behind the ears with pins. Leave the bottom section loose, and if you think it needs a bit of movement use a large barrel curling wand to create loose, gorgeous waves. Et Voila! God Created Woman.”

How to: Bridget Bardot Look

There’s something innately sexy about smouldering smoky eyes and a nude lip. A look that somewhat fell into vogue after everyone began to take notice of Bridget Bardot.

We love trying out new trends at the INIKA office; here is how we fashioned our own INIKA-style Bridget Bardot doe-eyes and lip.

Weapons of choice:

- INIKA Mineral powder foundation

- INIKA Mineral Mascara in Black

- INIKA Certified Organic eyeliner in Black

- INIKA Mineral Eyeshadow in Coco Motion

- INIKA Mineral lipstick in Nude Delight

- INIKA Mineral foundation in Tuscan Tales

We started with the powder foundation to get a matte look.

For the eyes, we used black eyeliner from the inner corner of the eye, all the way to the outer corner and finished it with a triangular flick. Then, we used the brown eyeshadow along the eyeliner line and along the lower lash line. We finished with lashing of black mascara, particularly on the bottom lashes.

aBridget Bardot’s lips always looked glossy and kissable. We used the nude lipstick as a base and blended in the terracotta (Tuscan Tales) lipstick. If you feel like you need for gloss finish this look, use INIKA’s Lipwhip in Apricot.

Pair this look with big bouncy hair. Read our hair how to here.
