Naturally Glamorous Everyday Makeup

Face:
1. Start by applying a tinted moisturizer to fresh and clean skin. Blend well into the skin and apply a second layer where any extra coverage or moisture is needed.
2. Follow up by applying a highlighting and illuminating concealer under your eyes, and slightly thicker concealer over any blemishes or imperfections you wish to conceal.
3. Apply a cream blush in a cool pink or peach shade just along your cheek bone, and a slightly brighter shade to the apples of your cheeks. This will give you a healthy pop of colour. Remember to blend, blend, blend. Tip: If you can see a line of blush on your face, you haven't blended the edges enough.
4. If you like you can set your face with a translucent powder, or you can leave the makeup as is for a dewy glow.

Eyes:
1. Apply a matte cream coloured shadow all over your lid.
2. Next blend a matte brown shade into your crease, and the outer corner of the eye. This will elongate the eye and make it appear wider.
3. Line your upper lashline lightly with a black kohl eyeliner, add a small flick.
4. Take a fluffy eyeshadow brush and blend over the eyeliner, making it a shadow. As you are blending slightly pull up with the brush. This will give you a softer looking cat eyeliner. Continue to reapply the black eyeliner and blend until you reach your desired intensity.
5. Curl your eyelashes and apply 2 coats of thickening/volumizing mascara.
 6. If you like you can apply false eyelashes, preferably in the summer use a waterproof lash glue.

Lips:
1. Apply a light tinted lip balm (One of the best inventions ever). I really like Smith's Rosebud Slave because you can use it on everything, like dry cuticles, dry hands, lips, hair, everything.

Makeup Monday: Victoria Beckham Makeup Look

Victoria Beckham is a style icon, and personally one of my top fashion and beauty inspirations. Her fashion line boasts beautiful structure and lines. One half of Britain's "other royal family" Victoria rules the fashion world with an iron fist, having recently launched another successful denim and accessories line. Her makeup hasn't changed much from her Posh Spice days, it has only become more chic and polished. Her signature smokey eye and nude lip can be adapted for any event, outfit, day or night. Here is a lighter daytime version of her signature look that Victoria has been sporting more and more often. Face: 1. Victoria has oily skin so a primer is a must. Pop a little all over your face, making sure to blend down your neck. Jessie's Pick: Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer 2. Smooth a cream foundation over your face, blending it down your neck. Jessie's Picks: Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Foundation or Rimmel Match Perfection Cream Foundation. 3. Dot
