Those of you looking to take your makeup to a red-carpet level are in luck. Here's a step by step guide on how to obtain Salma’s stunning "vintage vamp" makeup look:

Glowing ComplexionThe key to obtaining Salma’s glow-from-within complexion starts with the skin. Charlotte first applied her celeb-prized Charlotte’s Magic Cream followed by her Magic Eye Rescue, which she lightly tapped around the delicate eye area. Next, she enhanced Salma’s flawless complexion by blending her Magic Foundation with the Light Wonder Foundation. This created for an illuminated and smoother canvas. Charlotte then applied the Magic Away Concealer to conceal areas that needed a little extra coverage. To contour and add extra definition to Salma’s stunning cheekbones, Charlotte lightly brushed the Filmstar Bronze and Glow in light/medium on the cheeks, jawline, temples, and nose. Next, for that highly coveted megawatt glow, the Charlotte applied the Hollywood Beauty Light Wand on the top of Salma’s cheekbones. Lastly, she added a pop of color with the Cheek to Chic blusher in Climax.

Smoldering EyesTo recreate Salma’s smoldering smokey eye look, Charlotte used her Vintage Vamp Luxury Palette and followed her four-step sequence of Prime, Enhance, Smoke and Pop. Next, she elongated her eyes by creating a cat eye effect with the Rock ‘n’ Kohl eyeliner in Barbarella Brown. To add further intensity, Charlotte finished Salma’s eye makeup with her Legendary Lashes Volume 2 mascara which she applied on her top and bottom lashes.

Next, she applied her Supermodel Lips lipstick in the shade Super Model, a matte, natural-looking nude-rose shade. Salma obtained a glossy finish by applying a layer of the nourishing Collagen Lip Bath.
