My daily makeup look is quick, and simple (in my opinion) and it leaves me looking polished and feeling confident. It is a little bit Jessica Alba, a little bit Miranda Kerr, and a little bit Anna Saccone. Alright so here we go:
Face:
1. I start with my Hourglass No 28 Primer Serum and I smooth it on with my clean fingers. I then go and do my hair to give it time to sink into my skin.
2. Then on a Real Techniques Buffing Brush, I take my Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, and I buff that all over my face, over my ears, and down my neck.
3. Under my eyes, I then blend my Clinique Airbrush Concealer using my ring finger. I then pat my Maybelline 24hr Super Stay Concealer over any blemishes or acne scars that are still visible through my foundation.
4. On an angled blush brush I contour my face using my Rimmel bronzer.
5. Using the same brush I apply my Yves Rocher blush just along my cheekbone, avoiding the apples of my cheeks.
6. I then take Benefit HighBeam, and apply two swipes on top of each cheekbone, one swipe down my nose, and another on top of my cupids bow. I blend that in using my ring finger.
7. Finally I set my makeup with my Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder.
Eyes:
1. I start with the second lightest shade from the Clinique Eye Shadow quad, and I apply it in a wash all over my eye lid. Next, I take the medium brown shade and blend it through my crease and slightly up onto my brow bone. I then take the darkest shade in the quad and use it to deepen my crease, and darken the outer corner.
2. Next I run the Clinique Eye Kohl in Black coffee across my top lash line.
3. On a small eye liner brush, I take the darkest shade and blend it into the line I just drew with the eye liner, as well as along my lower lash line. On days when I want a little more drama or definition, instead of the brown eye liner, I line my top lash line with Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Eye Liner in black. I Apply it in quite a thick line with a slight flick.
4. I then tight line my upper lash line with a black eye liner. And I run the green Avon eye liner along my lower waterline and inner rim.
5. Finally, I apply 2 coats of my CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara.
6. On my brows I just apply a little tinted brow gel.
Lips:
1. I apply some Smith's Rosebud Salve and then on top of that, I swipe on one of five lip products: Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Stick in Airy Fairy
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Stick in
Paradise
Clinique Full Potential Lips Plump and
Shine Lip Gloss in Glamour-Full
Mac Matte Lip Stick in Velvet Teddy
Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee
What I choose really depends on how I'm feeling that day, all of the products are a neutral colour and go with anything.
That's it! It usually takes me about 10 minutes however I can get it down to about 6 if I am really in a hurry.
