10 Minute Winter Makeup

This look is perfect for winter or late autumn, it gives you that "just stepped in from the cold" look. It'll take you no longer than ten minutes, which is nice when it is dark in the morning, or on those days when you favour sleep over beauty.

Face:
1. Start with a nourishing/hydrating face primer. In the winter our skin tends to get dryer, and is more exposed to the harsh elements such as wind, snow and the drying heat. Jessie's Picks: Hourglass No28 Primer, this primer is amazing, it starts out quite oily, but it does absorb very quickly into the skin.

2. Buff a light reflecting foundation or a cream foundation into the skin. Pick a foundation that is more hydrating and gives a dewy finish. This will help you look more healthy admist all the drying heat and wind of the winter.  (If you need to apply a creamy, highlighting concealer) Jessie's Picks: Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. Mac Studio Tech Foundation.

3. Apply a baby pink blush to your cheeks. Think of where you flush when you have just been out in the cold. Jessie's Picks: Benefit's Dandelion Blush. Avon Ideal Luminous Blush in Antique Rose.

4. If you have oily skin you can apply a very finely milled setting powder, or you can leave the makeup as is to keep that dewy glow. If you want to keep the dewiness, but are still concerned about oil control or staying power, try a makeup setting spray, Urban Decay has a variety of them, and they are all vegan :)

Eyes:
1. Apply a matte nude cream shadow/eye shadow primer all over the eye area. If you can't find one/ don't have one just apply your concealer over your eye area. Jessie's Picks: Mac Paint Pot in Soft Ochre. Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Too Cool (This does have a slight shimmer).

2. Tightline your upper lashline with a black eyeliner. Smudge the liner into your lashes to make them appear fuller and thicker.

3. Curl your eyelashes, if don't have a pair of eyelash curlers, you can use a cold spoon.

4. Apply two coats of a rich matte black mascara. Jessie's Picks: My absolute favourite is Benefit's BadGal Mascara. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara (Original).


Lips:
1. Apply a red lipstain, or a red tinted lip balm (Nivea has a very nice one). If you have neither, take a red lipstick, dab it on your lips, and blend out with your fingers, apply a lipbalm over top and voila! Your own diy lipstain.

So start your stopwatches and look beautiful and natural in less than 10 minutes

Summer Lace OOTD and Natural Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today's OOTD is my favourite summer look. Lace, loose waves, and a natural makeup look. It was nice and warm today so I brought out one of my favourite dresses. It is from American Eagle, and was given to me by one of my friends a few years ago. I like that it is strapless as when I am outside enjoying the sunshine I don't have to worry about awkward tan lines! I went with a natural and glowing makeup look today, and I even filmed it for you! You can watch the video below. It is inspired by the gorgeous Gigi Hadid. xx Jess Instagram: jessicakinnari
