Makeup Monday: Glowing Natural Summer Makeup




Hello everyone! Welcome to Makeup Monday, today's makeup look is a natural and glowing summer look. It is super quick and very easy to do. This look is great for school, church, or for running errands.


Face:

1. Start off with a matte or semi-matte foundation and apply it all over your face, making sure to blend it down your neck. I used Vichy Norma Teint Foundation this is a serum foundation that helps to control oil and prevent blemishes.

2. Next take an angled brush with a matte bronzer and contour your cheekbones, sides of your forehead, and underneath your job. I used the Elf Contouring Bronzer in St Lucia, this is a dark bronze with a little bit of shimmer, very similar to Nars Laguna.

3. Take a shimmery peach blush and apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards. I used the blush from the Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer in St Lucia, very similar to Nars Amour.

Eyes:
1. Choose a matching brow powder and using a small angled brush fill in your eyebrows. I used the Elf Eyebrow Kit in Dark similar to the Benefit Brow Zings. 

2. Take a cool pink cream eyeshadow and apply that all over your eyelid and along your lower lashline. You can use your finger or a brush, I used my finger and applied Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo in Inked in Pink. 

3. Using a flat eye shadow brush apply a cool toned bronze eyeshadow over top of the cream shadow you just applied. You can really pat this colour on as the cream shadow will cause it to stick and create a different dimension. I used YDK from the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.

4. Tightline your upper lashline with a black eye liner pencil. Just take the point of the pencil and rub it in between the lashes, this will create soft definition and a fuller lash effect. I used a black liner from Beautique Beauty.

5. Run a creamy nude eye liner pencil along your lower waterline to create a wide eyed effect. A nude coloured pencil is a lot softer than using a white pencil. I used Rimmel Scandaleyes Kajal Pencil in Nude. 

6. Curl your lashes and apply a black/brown volumizing mascara to both your upper and lower lashes. Using a black/brown mascara will create a softer eye look than if you were to use a dark black mascara. Black/brown mascara is a lot more flattering and natural looking. I used Maybelline Great Lash BIG Mascara in Brownish Black. 

Lips:
1. For the lips apply a creamy dark brown/raspberry nude to your lips, I used the Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle but some other great colours Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Asia or Paradise. 



That is the completed look I hope you enjoyed it and if you'd like to see exactly how I created this makeup please watch the video:

Makeup Monday: Victoria Beckham Makeup Look

Victoria Beckham is a style icon, and personally one of my top fashion and beauty inspirations. Her fashion line boasts beautiful structure and lines. One half of Britain's "other royal family" Victoria rules the fashion world with an iron fist, having recently launched another successful denim and accessories line. Her makeup hasn't changed much from her Posh Spice days, it has only become more chic and polished. Her signature smokey eye and nude lip can be adapted for any event, outfit, day or night. Here is a lighter daytime version of her signature look that Victoria has been sporting more and more often. Face: 1. Victoria has oily skin so a primer is a must. Pop a little all over your face, making sure to blend down your neck. Jessie's Pick: Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer 2. Smooth a cream foundation over your face, blending it down your neck. Jessie's Picks: Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Foundation or Rimmel Match Perfection Cream Foundation. 3. Dot
