Blogmas Day 4: French Beauty Makeup

Natural makeup and french braided crown.

Women in France are known for the extreme beauty, and natural makeup looks. This look is perfect for a date, a family dinner, or whenever you want to look polished but not overly made up. This makeup focuses on highlighting your best features.

Face:
1. Pop on your favorite tinted moisturizer and really blend it well into your skin. Jessie's Pick: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil-Free
2. Add a pink or deep rose colored cream blush to the apples of your cheeks. Jessie's Pick: Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Cream Blush in Honey

Eyes:
1. Brush over your brows with a tinted brow gel. If you must fill them in do so with a brow powder not a pencil to avoid to harsh and drawn on looking brows. Jessie's Pick: Benefit Cosmetics Speed Brow.
2. Tight line your upper lash line with a dark brown eye pencil. Jessie's Pick: Mac Eye Kohl in Teddy
3. Curl your lashes and apply a volumizing mascara, preferably one that does not make your lashes look hard or flakey. Jessie's Pick: Benefit Cosmetics Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Lips:
Pop on a tinted lip balm (like a Burt's Bees) or take a creamy neutral pink or brown lipstick and press it onto your lips. Then take your finger, and blend out the lipstick to create more of a stain, apply a lip balm over top to lock in moisture. Jessie's Picks: Clinique Almost Lipstick in Almost Violet or Mac Matte Lip Stick in Velvet Teddy.

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
