Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Campaign Makeup

I know it is and old campaign, but I have always loved the look. So, I decided I would write a quick (or maybe not so quick) tutorial about it. It's a glowing, bronze, summery look; which is everything I need right now since it has been getting quite cold where I live.

Face:
1. Start by mixing a bronze illuminator in with your foundation, a liquid bronzer works perfectly well if you don't have one. Preferably pick one that has SPF.  Jessie's Picks: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25++ in Topaz. Clinique Even Better Foundation SPF 15.
2. If  you like you can now powder your face with a very fine finishing powder.  Jessie's Picks: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. Make Up For Ever HD Powder

Eyes:
1. Apply a dark bronze cream eye shadow all over your eyelid. Then take a fluffy eye shadow brush, and blend the edges and the crease, softening all harsh edges. Jessie's Picks: Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes in Fuller Fudge
2. Run a bit of the cream shadow along the lower lashline.
3. Take a dark brown eyeliner and line your top and bottom waterlines, making sure not to forget the inner corner. Jessie's Picks: Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Eye Pencil in Coffee
4. Take a cream coloured eye shadow and place it in the inner corner of the eye. Jessie's Picks: Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes in Bountiful Beige
5. Apply volumizing mascara to the top and bottom lashes. Jessie's Picks: L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Excess.
6. For your eyebrows, brush them through with a spooly and lightly fill in any  sparse areas with a brow powder.

Lips:
1. Exfoliate your lips, and apply beeswax based lipbalm. Jessie's Picks: Lush Lip Scrub. Burt's Bees Lip Balm
2. Pat a matte or cream finish rose pink lip stick onto your lips, and smooth out with your finger.  Jessie's Picks: L'Oreal Clour Riche Lipstick in #165 Tickled Pink. Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lip Colour in True Pink.

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
