How to Channel Sophia Loren With Your Make-Up

Actress Sophia Loren graces the big screen and awes many with her classic Hollywood glamor. Her look comes off as confident with bold eyelashes and a deep blush. The eyeliner in this make-up look wings out slightly to enhance the eye with a cat's eye effect. Mastering the winged eye will serve as the key technique for Sophia Loren-inspired make-up. Wear the hair down in soft curls to complement this look. This make-up works best for a special evening out. Any color gown will work well when paired against this make-up look.

Things You'll Need

• Foundation
• Foundation brush
• Nude eyeshadow
• Shadow brush
• Beige eyeshadow
• Black liquid eyeliner
• Black mascara
• Warm toned bronzer
• Bronzer blush
• Nude lipstick

Instructions

1. Apply foundation to the entire face and especially under the eye area with a foundation brush. Use smooth firm strokes to blend the product in well.

2. Pat a nude eyeshadow onto the eyelid using a shadow brush. Do not let the color drift into the crease.

3. Cover the nude eyeshadow with a beige eyeshadow on the eyelid. Use the same shadow brush to cover the nude eyeshadow.

4. Use black liquid eyeliner to line the lower lash line and line the entire upper lash line in a winged-out effect. The winged-out effect is simply lining from the inner corner of the upper lash line all the way to where your eyebrow ends. Flick the liner up at the end, so it somewhat resembles a wing. Loren often emphasized her eyes with dark color.

5. Apply black mascara to the upper and lower eyelashes. Wiggle the wand as you comb through the lashes to reduce clumping.

6. Apply a warm toned bronzer to the cheeks, using a bronzer brush. Loren has an overall dark tone for her cheeks, and adding the bronzer will mimic her sophisticated look.

7. Finish the look with nude lipstick on the lips. Loren usually has a simple lip in contrast to her very dramatic eyes.
