"Feeling Sick" Day Makeup

Hi everyone! Today's makeup look is for those days when you aren't feeling to well and you want to apply some makeup to help you look (and sometimes feel) better. I think that on days like this it is super important to use products that you know and love. This will help prevent any frustration or added annoyance when applying your makeup because you will know how each item "behaves". For this look I used minimal eye makeup as well as multitasking face products that way you don't feel like you have a thick layer of foundation lying on top of your skin. 

Skin/Base:
1. Before I started I applied a mattifying moisturizer, and a thick lip salve to prep my skin and lips. 

2. Starting off I applied Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream in Light/Medium to my face and blended it out with my fingers. Your fingers are the best blenders and give you a sheer controlled coverage. This product can act as your primer, concealer and tinted moisturizer. 

3. Next I take my Rimmel Bronzer in 22 Sun Bronze, and using a fluffy face brush I dust it wherever the sun naturally hits my face: along my jawline, sides of my forehead, down my nose, and across my cheekbones.

4. Moving on to blush, choose a bright pink or coral shade to help brighten your complexion and give you a fresh youthful glow. I chose a bright baby pink blush and using the same face brush applied the blush in upwards stokes along my cheekbones, as well as onto the apples of my cheeks. 

5. For your eyes choose an eyeshadow palette which has matte and shimmer finishes and that you know works for you. I chose my NYC Custom Compact Eyeshadow Quad in Union Square. This is the first eye shadow quad I bought for myself and I love the consistency of the shadows. First I took the matte cream shade and applied that to the inner corners of my eyes to brighten up the eye area. Next I took the matte brown and applied just into my crease to provide a little bit of definition. 

6. Next take a black or brown kohl eye liner pencil and line the outer third of your upper lashline. Then take either the smudgey tip on the other side of the eye liner or a fluffy eye shadow brush and blend out that line so it becomes a shadow. I used Maybelline Line Express Eye Liner in Black. 

7. Curl your eyelashes and apply your favourite mascara. I used Maybelline Great Lash Big Mascara in Brownish/Black. 

8. Pick a matte or semi-matte lipstick in a bright pink or coral shade and apply it to your lips. I used Rimmel Kate Lipstick in 104. 

That is the completed look, if you would like to see exactly how I did it please watch the video below.

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

Hello everyone! If you know me, you'll know that I have a slight makeup problem... I have way too much! 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 ...
