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!

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
