Ponytail Makeup

On days when you just feel like sporting a sleek ponytail; structured and girly makeup is a must have. It will take away from any greasy roots, and will let you feel more polished in leggings and a slouchy knit sweater
 ( my style from about  November to April).

 Face:
1. Start with a mattifying primer, and blend into the skin. Look for primers that melt into your skin, and make it feel nice and soft.

2. Apply a matte foundation and mix it with moisturizer, this will sheer it out, and make the foundation feel lighter.

3. Apply a highlighting concealer under your eyes and a heavier concealer (cream to powder) on any blemishes.

4. Add a touch of cream blush in a mauve shade on your cheek bones to give you a chiseled look.

5. Dust your entire face with a very fine finishing powder to lock everything in place.

Eyes:
1. Apply a matte off-white eye shadow all over your lids.

2. Blend a dark matte brown eye shadow into your crease.

3. Line your top lash line with a dark brown kohl eye pencil.

4. Tightline your top lashes with a black eye liner.

5. Rim your lower inner lash line with a white or nude eye liner.

6. Add a shimmery nude eye shadow to the centre of the eye lid.

7.  Curl your eyelashes, and apply two coats of a thickening mascara.

Lip:
1. Dab a matte or cream finish rose coloured lipstick over your lips. Smooth the colour out with your finger, and apply a lip balm over top.


This look will keep you looking polished and chic no matter how many days in a row you wear it!

Anna Edwin is a Norwegian blogger. She began her blog in 2009 and she blogs about everything from hair to bowling (well maybe not actually bowling). Her hair and makeup is always flawless, nice and bronzed.  So I thought it would be perfect for spring and to warm us all up.

Whatever Wednesdays: Victoria Beckham Hair How-To

  Victoria Beckham Ponytail: With her long dark brown hair, Victoria Beckham's hairstyle of choice has become the ponytail. This style is quick, and ultra chic. 1. Start with day-old hair (or even if you are starting with freshly washed hair) and spritz with a volumizing dry shampoo. 2. Pull your hair back with your fingers, smoothing over any stray hairs. 3. Once you have your ponytail in the desired place, fasten with a hair tie. 4. Take your straightener and run it over the ends of your ponytail, to give it a sleek effect. 5. Add a tiny dot of shine serum to the ends. Simply rub the serum between your palms, and run your hands over the end of your ponytail. Voila! Tu es fini, and you have a simple and chic hairdo. xx JD Please leave me a comment let me know what you think!  If you have any questions or suggestions: Email me: jessicadonna96@gmail.com

Throwback Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! If you know me, you'll know that I have a slight makeup problem... I have way too much! But I can't help it, I just love it so, and I honestly look forward to putting my makeup on every morning. So today I decided I would do a quick post on my fave go to glam look for daytime. It looks quite heavy, but because I'm using mineral makeup it feels like I'm wearing no face makeup at all! My skin is quite sensitive and dry, so for the longest time I thought that mineral makeup wouldn't work for my skin, but boy was I wrong! I was at Winners recently and saw that they had a couple Bellapierre Cosmetics mineral makeup sets on sale for $14... So I thought I'd try it out, and now I can never go back to regular liquid foundations! Mineral makeup is considered to be better for your skin as it is natural, and usually only contains 3-4 natural ingredients. Bellapierre foundation has an SPF of 15 which can cause a little bit of flashback, so if ...
