Spring Ballerina Makeup

Achieving the "No-makeup" makeup look isn't as hard as it looks, let us show you how. This look is a perfect blend of sexy and sweet for Spring 2013.
Hello Everyone! Happy April J Today’s makeup look is ballerina inspired. Lancome’s Spring 2014 line is called French Ballerine and features Lily Collins. This look is perfect for spring as it is delicate, fresh, pink and just reminds me of flowers.

Face:
1. Start off by applying a tinted moisturizer or BB cream to your freshly moisturized skin. You can use your finger or a brush, either way, make sure to blend down your neck. We want the skin to be as fresh and dewy as possible so a tinted moisturizer and no face powder is the best option. Jessie’s Picks: Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream. Laura Mercier Tinted Moiturizer- Oil Free.

2. Next take a creamy concealer and blend it under your eyes, around your nose, and on any blemishes. Jessie’s Picks: Mac Studio Finish Concealer. YSL Touche Eclat.

3. Blend a baby pink blush onto the apples of your cheeks and up along your cheekbones. You can choose a cream or powder form blush, whatever you feel most comfortable working with. Jessie’s Picks: YSL Crème de Blush in Baby Doll. Benefit Boxed Powder in Dandelion.

Eyes:

1. Brush up your brows and fill in any sparse areas with a matching eye brow powder or eye shadow. Jessie’s Picks: Anastasia  Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo. Clinique Brow Shaper.

2. Apply a wash of a light gold eyeshadow all across your lid. Jessie’s Picks: Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Easy Baked. L’Oreal Infallible Eye Shadow in Eternal Sunshine.

3. On a fluffy crease brush, blend a matte medium brow through your socket and gently buff away any harsh edges. Jessie’s Picks: Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Buck. Mac Eye Sahdow in Wedge.

4. Next grab a small accent brush, mix together the light gold and matte medium brown eye shadow, and run it along your lower lashline. This will create soft definition and appear more ethereal.

5. Take a black liquid eye liner and line your upper lashline with a thin, thin (very thin) line. Jessie’s Picks: Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eye Liner in Black. Lancome Artliner in Noir.

6. Curl your lashes and apply a coat of black volumizing mascara. Jessie’s Picks: Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara. Benefit BadGal Lash Mascara.


Lips:
1. Prepare your lips by applying a deep conditioning lip balm. Jessie’s Picks: Dior Crème de Rose. Smith’s Rosebud Salve.

2. Apply a sheer petal pink lipcolor, starting from the centre of your lips working outwards. This does not have to be a heavy opaque application as the goal is to have a sheer wash of colour. Jessie’s Picks: YSL Volupte Sheer Candy in Juicy Grapefruit. Dior Addict Lip Glow.


I hope you enjoyed this makeup look and that you are excited for spring (I know I am).

So if you have tried any of these products or have products that you want to try out in 2014 feel free to comment! 1. Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder . I have heard so much about this bronzer and I think that after my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer runs out this will be my next bronzer purchase. 2. Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in Plum Pop. I have a feeling this blush is going to become my go to for the spring and summer. It looks like a grogeous plum shade which would be perfect for my light-medium cool toned complexion. 3. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I am already in love with the original Naked Palette, and I just kn...
