The rock chick look is a timeless classic, ad although the make up may be rather heavy and unsuitable for a daytime look, the Christmas parties are looming! The look is really simple to achieve and with the right products and make up brushes our guide will have you channelling your inner rock goddess a la Amy Winehouse and Gwen Stefani in no time!
For the glamorous Amy Winehouse-inspired look you are going to need to some quality eyeliner, as that is the statement part of this look. Prepare your eyelids with a eye shadow primer, if you want a really dramatic look then perhaps choose a smoky coloured eye shadow as a base. If you want to keep it simple then sweep a thick layer of liquid eyeliner across the lid of the eye, just by your eyelash line. This may take a few practices if this is the first time you have ever tried this look, but practice will make perfect.
Next you want to create a winged tip at the end of your eyeliner end, depending on how dramatic you want to make your look you can edit the size of the wings. A lighter and thinner line looks very pretty but a heavier one is very rock and roll. With your make up brushes you can now add some eye shadow to make the tip longer if you are nervous about using the liquid eye liner.
Next you want to add some blusher to your cheeks so that you don't look drawn out, a paler complexion looks really striking with the heavy eye make up but a liquid blusher blended into the cheeks adds a natural looking glow if you don't want to look too pale. Fake eyelashes will also help to add to this rock chick look but equally a couple of layers of good black mascara will open your eyes and help them look really big.
Finally to finish this look you need some fantastic lipstick, a bright red will look particularly striking but only some skin tones can pull this off without it looking too much. If you don't feel confident enough to wear a daring red then a lighter shade or some quality lip gloss will work equally well. The lipstick is not too crucial as the eye make up stands out so well, after using all of your make up brushes to achieve this look you may need to soak them in some make up remover overnight to ensure that they don't get clogged up with make up and if you try the look again the liner on the eye lids are smooth.
