Blogmas Day 15: My Daily Makeup Look

Jessica Alba actress hair hairstyle makeupMiranda Kerrlove this ombre look so much!
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. 
For a list of all of the products in my makeup bag, and the full names of the products that I use everyday, just head over to my Blogmas Day 10: What's in my Makeup Bag? Winter 2013.

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
