Want this face? Well, unfortunately I'm not physically able to give you my whole face, because, well...thats just gross. So, you can't have it. However, I CAN give you all the makeup resources in order to achieve this low key, super flattering, classic look!
First, we'll cover the base makeup:
1) I first applied the Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream with a foundation brush evenly around my entire face.
2) I apply my favorite Maybelline New York Age Instant Rewind Treatment Concealer. I love this stuff. I put it under my eyes, nose, and on any blemish. The reason its nice for under the eye is because of its EXTREMELY soft brush applicator. This way you aren't putting anything too harsh under the eye -- always want to be careful because it can loosen the skin if you're too rough. Yes, I'm doing everything in my power to prolong getting my wrinkles.
3) Next! Blush! I used City Colors Be Matte blush in Dragon Fruit! I got this in my IPSY bag last month and I love it! Its so soft and pigmented. You barely have to swipe your brush to pick up color! Love it. Gives you just enough pink on your cheeks for that healthy glow.
4) Finally, I applied my all time favorite highlighting powder just above my cheekbones, as well as underneath my blush line. I do this to create a more defined look for my cheeks.. a simple shortcut to contouring. Just didn't have the time this a.m! The highlighter I used is theBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer.
Now, onto the eyes!
1) Because I applied my BB Cream all over my face, I didn't put primer on my eyelids. So I started right away with my base color of Urban Decays Naked2 palette with "Bootycall." Then in my outer corner lid, I applied a bit of "Halfbaked," and blended that into my above crease, which I applied "Chopper." (Note all three swatches I've used are in the photo)
2) I applied my favorite black liquid eyeliner from Jordana Cosmetics. You already know how much I love this liner! If you haven't seen the post about it, check on the right side of this blog and click the link to "My All Time Favorite Eyeliner!"
3) Afterwards, I applied my sample mascara, pictured above :) Got this as a birthday gift last year from Sephora! Its the Badgal Lash Benefit Mascara. I really like the soft brush! Plus because the stick is so short, you can really work the brush in different angles to get every last eyelash looking perfect!
4) For my waterline I applied my Cliniques Purple Crush cream eyeliner. I received in my makeup set from Clinque that was gifted to me by a co-worker. Its a set of shadows, two liners, and two brushes. Love it. Unfortunately I can't find a link!
Finally! The lips!
1) Loreals Lipstick in Fairest Nude. This is an all time favorite lipstick of mine, as you can see from the tip! I use this quite often. Its creamy, smells good, and its a great nude/pink!
2) Same pic!
3) I covered the nude/pink with a soft plum lipgloss. I'm not attaching the link to this because I kind of dont recommend it! Haha, I'm sorry but it really doesnt taste good and it dries very quickly. The reason I always like gloss is because it normally keeps my lips moist..this lipgloss doesn't cut it. I do however, love the colors! Both the soft plum and the pearly pink look great for any over coat of a liner or lipstick :)
There you have it! My face!
Have a great rest of your day!
Stick with me <3
