Clemence Poesy - natural + quintessentially french

Welcome to today's Fab February! For my next Hair, Makeup, and Outfit series I will be doing all Paris/French themed looks! French women are considered some the most beautiful in the world, and this look is inspired by French beauties such as Marion Cotillard and Clemence Poesy. Let's get started:

Face:

1. Start by spritzing your freshly cleansed face with a vitamin infused face mist. Jessie's Picks: Avene Facial Mist. Kora Organics Balancing Face Mist.

2. Next take a deep moisturizer and blend it into your skin. Jessie's Picks: Nivea Moisturizing Day Cream. Embryollisse Lait Creme Concentre.

3. Take a cream bronzer and apply it to wherever the sun naturally hits your face. Blend out well using your fingers or a buffing brush. Jessie's Picks: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Bronce. Benefot Cosmetics Sun Beam.

4. On a big fluffy powder brush dust a luminous loose powder foundation all over your face and down your neck. Jessie's Picks: Revlon Colorstay Aqua Mineral Makeup. Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder.

5. Smile! And blend a pink cream blush onto the apples of your cheeks to add a youthful glow. Jessie's Picks: Stila Convertable Colour in Petunia. Tarte Cheek Stain in Fearless.

Eyes:

1. Take a brow gel and brush it onto your eye brows to set them into place. Jessie's Picks: Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel. Revlon Brow Fantasy.

2. Sweep a matte nude eye shadow all over your eye lid. Jessie's Picks: Mac Eye Shadow in Brule. Urban Decay Naked Eye Shadow in Naked.

3. Curl your eye lashes and apply a coat of dark brown mascara. Jessie's Picks: Maybelline Great Lash Mascara. Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara.

Lips:

1. Apply a tinted lip balm to your lips. This is a great product because most of them are small enough you can pop them into your bag to bring with you. Jessie's Picks: Burts Bees Tinted Lip Balm. Nivea Fruity Shine in Cherry or Strawberry.

That is the completed makeup look. It is nice, fresh, and youthful. Perfect for a weekend or whenever you feel like looking posh. Coming up soon: Paris Inspired Outfits and French Chignon Hair Tutorial.

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

Throwback Everyday Makeup Tutorial

But I can't help it, I just love it so, and I honestly look forward to putting my makeup on every morning. So today I decided I would do a quick post on my fave go to glam look for daytime. It looks quite heavy, but because I'm using mineral makeup it feels like I'm wearing no face makeup at all! My skin is quite sensitive and dry, so for the longest time I thought that mineral makeup wouldn't work for my skin, but boy was I wrong! I was at Winners recently and saw that they had a couple Bellapierre Cosmetics mineral makeup sets on sale for $14... So I thought I'd try it out, and now I can never go back to regular liquid foundations! Mineral makeup is considered to be better for your skin as it is natural, and usually only contains 3-4 natural ingredients. Bellapierre foundation has an SPF of 15 which can cause a little bit of flashback, so if ...
