Hi ladies,

Here is the Christina Aguilera Hurt challenge. I had the choice of three sets of false lashes I had bought earlier, I went with the Essence Lash Mania set in "01 Hi there, Gorgeous!".

Skincare
I took off my previous makeup using the Dior Duo Magique Duo-Phase Eye Makeup Remover, to remove the oily leftover I used Sephora Face Soothing Toner (Dry Skin). To help my skin transfer to the spring I used Dior, Capture R60/80 Serum followed by Dior, Restore Wrinkle Creme Rich Texture and as an eyecreme I took up Dior First Wrinkles Smoothing Eye Creme.

Because the sun is out again, extra suncare is in order. I use a product I've been using Clinique for years called City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25. Many women forget that their lips need SPF too, for this I use Sephora, Face Very Sexy Nourishing Lip Balm SPF 15.

Face
I love using Smashbox, Under Eye Brightener to brighten my eyes and I love the feel of it. I still sometimes use Talika's Eyelash Conditioning Gel. I've had this Smashbox, Photo Finish Light Foundation Primer tester for a while, but I've never used it because I've been sooo in love with their normal Photo Finish Primer but now I might have to switch to their light version when I've emptied it. This feels sooo light, I don't get the super soft feeling the normal Primer gives, but it feels soooo fresh and light.

Canvas
To start my flawless canvas I mixed Yves Saint Laurent, Teint Parfait (Complexion Enhancer - Oil Free) in no. 3 Champagne with Too Faced, Magic Wand Illuminating foundation in no. 2 New York Light , for placement of the mixture I used my "new" Dior Backstage, Foundation brush. I used Smashbox, Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer to conceal a little redness around my nose and a few blemishes. I used Make Up For Ever - HD Powder with my "new" Dior, Backstage Makeup Powder Brush to set everything.

Eye base
To create a flawless eye I used Smashbox, Lip & Lid Primer on my lid only. On my browbone I used Benefit, High Brow and as an extra bit of light under my eyes I used Yves Saint Laurent, Touche Eclat in no. 2. I wanted to use some Cream Liner, there are two greys in the Cream Liner and Loose Shimmer pot I used the lighter grey on my eyelid and the darker grey on my lower lashline, because I want the colours smudged, I use my Smashbox, no. 15 Definer Brush for application.

Eye
Over this I use the grey colour from the Smashbox, Panorama Trio on my eyelid and the grey from the Shutterspeed Trio on my lower lashline. Because Christina has the colour very smudged and very low, I use the same no. 15 Definer brush for everything. I wanted a subtle shimmer so I took up my old trusty Diorissime, Make up Palette for Eyes and Lips in 002 Seduction Drama. This was a limited edition so it's no longer available. To build up a great grey colour, you have to build several greys on top of one another. The next layer of greys are the two greys from the Dior 5 Colour Eyeshadow Palette 140 Twilight. If you get this palette, try using the lighter blue over the dark blue and you'll get a great vibrant shimmering electric blue. But for this look I used the lighter grey on my eyelid and the darker on the lower lashline (still using the no. 15 Definer Brush). On the centre of the eyelid I used the Loose Shimmer from the Smashbox pot. Because Christina is not using any extra colour in her crease to create depth, I use the loose shimmer powder to give the eye a little depth.

Christina has a darker waterline, I used a small gift I've been given at my local cosmetics counter, it's a Dior, Crayon Eyeliner Pencil in 090 Noir. This is a great Pencil for the eyeline because even though it's not waterproof, it doesn't disappear quickly. There is a waterproof version of this pencil that you can buy, but I've been given this and I wanted to try it. I wanted to use another liner on my lashlines because even though I want to smudge this, I want the smudging to be my smudging and not some smudging I don't want. For this I used something I've been hearing a lot about, namely the L'Oreal Contour Resist in 201 Black. This is a retractable waterproof longwear liner, which is very creamy and easy to place in the lashline. Also because it's retractable, you never have to sharpen it. I used a Smudger brush to kill any hard lines but still keep the depth of colour in my lashline.

Lashes
To give my lashes the same look as Christina's I used the Essence lashes I thought looked most like the ones she's wearing. I didn't cut them to my eyelash length, but I kept them long. I used Duo Lashglue and I placed the lashes starting on the inner corner and placing them a little upward on my outer lashline. This makes my eyes look a little sadder and larger. If you want to make the lashes look better, add some mascara to merge your own and the false lashes together. I wanted to show you a more natural look though, so I only used a little Clinique Brush-on Cream liner in 02 true black on the lashband (to hide the colour of it).

After I took the pictures, I removed the lashes and the glue, redid a little of the black L'Oreal liner and curled my lashes using the award winning Shu Uemura, Lash curler. I used a trusting mascara, the Dior, Iconic Mascara in 090 Noir to give my lashes this more real look.

Lips
I blotted my lips and lined them with a 17 Perfect Pout Lipliner in Morticia, which is a colour that isn't sold anymore. To give a little more lasting colour to my lips I used a colour that is more berry then dark brown, I personally like this colour better. The colour I used as a base is Urban Decay, Lip Envy in Greedy and over this I used Urban Decay, Lipstick in Gash.

Nails
On Christina's nails she's either wearing a dark dark Red or a dark brown. The colours I own that I'd use are OPI, Lincoln Park After Dark, Bourjois So Laque in 16 Dangereusement Rouge.Other colours I've found online that should be pretty awesom are OPI Bastille My Heart, OPI A Ruby for Rudolph, OPI Midnight in Moscow, China Glaze Branding Iron, China Glaze Heart Of Africa.
