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.

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.

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
