How to create Julia Carta's X Factor Black Swan look | Rimmel London Tutorial

X Factor Chief Makeup Artist Julia Carta shows us how she creates her Black Swan inspired look for Rylan Clarks backing dancers for his Saturday night performance. To begin Julia preps the skin using Rimmel Fix and Perfect Foundation Primer and Match Perfection Foundation in Ivory. This will achieve a very pale base which will help make the eye makeup stand out and the matte finish will help set the makeup. Julia then applies Stay Matte Pressed Powder with a sponge using a press and roll motion to set the foundation. Using Scandaleyes Waterproof Khol Kajal Eyeliner Pencil in Black, Julia mapped out the black swan shape around the eye. She then painted it all in using Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Pencil in Pure White and blended it in with her finger. Then using the black eyeliner pencil Julia sketched in very lightly some small feathers and then using a fine brush Julia went over some of the lines using Rimmel Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in Black to add a bit of definition and precision. To make the eye makeup really stand out Julia goes in with the white eyeliner pencil to bring out the small black feathers design. Julia also applied Rimmel Volume Flash Scandal Eyes Mascara to the lashes and added Swarovski crystals to outline the top of the eye makeup and some silver glitter to add some sparkle. Julia completes the look with Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss in 04 which is a deep purple and is perfect for the Black Swan look. To add a bit of definition to the cheeks
