Welcome to day three of Fab February. Today's makeup look is inspired by Kim Kardashians' bridal shower makeup. Yes, I know that her marriage only lasted 72 days but that was almost 3 years ago and her bridal shower makeup is still gorgeous 3 years later. So why not do a pretty makeup in the midst of cold and blustery February. This makeup look has a nice flawless base, warm eyes, and sweet pink lips.
Face:
1. Start with a moisturizing primer and blend it all over your face with your fingers or a brush. Unless it is actually your bridal shower you don't have to use a photo friendly primer, so don't worry about finding one. Jessie's Picks: Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Foundation Primer. Korres Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Primer.
2. Pick a sheer to medium coverage luminous foundation and apply it with a buffing brush. Jessie's Picks: L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation.
3. Next take a pink cream blush and blend it along your cheekbones to create a fresh and youthful glow. Jessie's Picks: Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Pink Frosting. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Pale Pink.
4. Set your makeup with a luminous finish powder
5. Fill in your eye brows with a matching powder or pencil, and set with a clear brow gel. Jessie's Picks: Benefit Speed Brow. Anastasia Brow Gel.
Eyes:
1. Start with a matte cream coloured cream eye shadow or paint pot. Jessie's Picks: Clinique Touch Base For Eyes in Canvas Light. Mac Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre.

4. On the same brush take a dark brown eye shadow and apply in your crease to darken the colour. Jessie's Picks: Mac Eye Shadow in Swiss Chocolate. Too Faced Eye Shadow in Tanline.
5. Going back to your flat eye shadow brush and add a small amount of shimmery white eye shadow under neath your eye brow. Jessie's Picks: Mac Eye Shadow in Vanilla. Too Faced Eye Shadow in Porcelain.
6. Take a black liquid or gel eye liner and line your top lash line creating a small flick. Make sure to bring the eye liner right into the inner corner. Jessie's Picks: Mac Fluidline in Blacktracks. Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Pen.

7. Curl your eye lashes and apply 2-3 coats of a black mascara. Jessie's Picks: Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. Benefit They're Real Mascara.
Lips:
1. Line your lips with a waxy pink lip liner to create full lips like Kim's. Jessie's Picks: Yves Rocher Lip Pencil in Rose. Smashbox The Nude Lip Liner.
2. Fill in your lips with a creamy pink lipstick or lipgloss. Jessie's Picks: Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Stick in Airy Fairy. YSL Gloss Volupte in Rose Jersey.
This makeup is defintely heavier on the eyes, and may be a bit or lot more than what most people wear on an everyday basis. I quite like this eye makeup look and am planning on wearing soon. Until next time!
