Makeup Monday: Country Vacation Makeup

Nude makeup...nudes are fun because you can play around with your eye make-up quite a bit. But what’s even more fun is wearing very little eye make-up and playing up the blush. So simple & pretty!

Hello Everyone! Welcome to Makeup Monday. Today’s makeup look is a simple nude makeup which reminds me of a vacation in the English countryside. It is inspired by earth tones like mossy greens, beiges, mauves, and greys. This makeup is perfect if you are actually going on vacation in the English countryside, or if you just want to sport a fresh light makeup look.

Face:

1. Start with a freshly washed and moisturized face. Directly on top of your moisturizer apply a matte foundation. This will give you a natural looking face, without all of the powder. Jessie’s Picks: Clinique Stay Matte Oil Free Foundation. Maybelline 24hr Super Stay Makeup.

2. Take a cream blush in a rosy pink shade and blend it up along your cheekbone. Using a cream blush will give you more of a glow like you have just come in from the cold outside. Jessie’s Picks: Makeup Forever HD Blush in English Rose. Revlon Photoready Cream Blush in Flushed.

That’s the face done! If you’d like you can dab a sheer highlighter, like Nars Illuminator in Copacabana, across your cheekbone to brighten your face.

Eyes:

1. Start by brushing up your brows with a spoolie, then fill in any sparse areas with a brow powder. Jessie’s Picks: Anastasia Brow Powder Duo. Clinique Brow Shaper.

2. Dust your eye lids with a shimmery eye shadow one shadow lighter than your skintone. Jessie's Picks: Mac Eye Shadow in Naked Lunch. Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Virgin.

3. Contour your eyes using a moss green eye shadow through your crease. Jessie's Picks: Mac Eye Shadow in Fiction (Limited Edition). Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Mildew.

4. Line your top lashline with a brown eye liner pencil. Jessie's Picks: Essence Long Last Eye Liner Pencil in Hot Chocolate. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Whisky.

5. Curl your lashes, and apply a coat of dark brown mascara. Jessie's Picks: Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Black/Brown. Dior Diorshow Waterproof Mascara in Chestnut.

Lips:

1. Moisturize you lips and add a slight tint by using a tinted lip balm. Jessie's Picks: Dior Creme de Rose Plumping and Smoothing Lip Balm. Korres Lip Butter.

I hope you enjoyed this makeup look and that it keeps you looking forward to those days filled with sunshine.

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
