Makeup Monday: Berry Lip and Glowing Skin Makeup



Hello everyone! Welcome to Makeup Monday, it is time to break out your berry lip shades as we are going to create and ethereal and earthy makeup look. The focus is on glowing skin and deep berry stained lips.

Face:
1. Start off with a moderate to full coverage foundation and apply it with your favourite foundation brush. We want the skin to be as flawless as possible. I used Clinique Even Better Makeup in Golden Neutral, and applied it with a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. 

2. Contour the face using a matte bronzer and an angled brush. Focus on contouring underneath the cheekbones, then lightly contour the sides of your forehead and under your jaw. I used the bronzer shade from the Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer duo in St Lucia

3. Next pick a shimmery peach blush and using a big, fluffy face brush dust it onto the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards.Look for a very shimmery and light blush as this will enhance your glow and keep with the natural earth shades. I used the peach blush shade from the Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer duo in St Lucia. 

4. Time to go highlight crazy!! Alright, start off with a liquid luminizer/illuminator and dab it on top of your cheekbones, blend this in using a face brush. I used Benefit High Beam and blended it with a Real Techniques Contour Brush.  

5. Take a shimmery highlighting powder, and using the brush that you blended the liquid highlighter with, dust this powder on top of your cheekbones, down the centre of your nose, middle of your forehead, and onto your cupid's bow. I used a Stardust Powder. 

Eyes:
1. Lightly filll in your eyebrows using a little angled brush and matching brow powder or eyeshadow. I used Elf Eye Brow Kit in Dark and a Body Shop Angled Brush. 

2. Prime your lids with a neutral eye shadow primer. This will cancel out any redness or blue/purple veins that can appear on your eyelids. I used the Benefit Stay Don't Stray Eyeshadow Primer. 

3. Take a shimmery bronze cream eyeshadow and apply it to your lids. Blend the colour using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Continue to blend it until it becomes just a soft shimmery shadow. Put a little bit of the colour onto the brush and run it underneath the lashline. I used a bronze lipstick ( Yes, lipstick as eyeshadow) and then blended it out with a Real Techniques Base Shadow Brush.  Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in Tough as Taupe would work great as well.

4.. For eyeliner choose a blue/black eye liner pencil and dab it along the upper lashline in quite a thick line, this doesn't need to be neat as next you are going to take the same eye shadow brush you blended with and blend that eye liner into a soft shadow. This will create a grey smokey effect. I used Annabelle Eye Liner in Black Ink. 

5. Curl your lashes and apply two coats of a black volumizing mascara. I used Maybelline the Falsies Big Eyes Mascara in Black. 


Lips:

1. Prep your lips with a moisturizing lip balm. I used Smith's Rosebud Salve. 

2. Choose either a deep berry lipstick or lipstain and lightly apply it to your lips, rub your lips together to spread out the colour and create more of a "just bitten" effect. I used Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Crush. 


That's the completed look, if you would like to see exactly how I created this look please watch the video here.

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 ...
