Hi beauties!
I'm so proud of myself for keeping this up! Today's makeup was pretty simple with just a hint of edginess. It looks better when you see it on both eyes, but that thought didn't occur to me until after the picture was all edited. Just trust me, I guess ;)
Alright, let's get glowing!
I did an exaggerated cat eye with a little bit of glitter today. I was feeling like my eyes could use a break from eyeshadow, so this look is done simply with liquid liner (and primer and mascara).
1) I primed my lids with Sephora's Perfecting Eye Primer and MAC's Painterly Paint Pot (as usual)
2) I took my Kat Von D tattoo liner in Trooper and lined pretty close to my lash line. I start from the middle and work my way out, then work from my inner corner and meet it in the middle. (Leave me comments below on how you all apply your liquid liner!)
3) I created a pretty dramatic wing in my outer corner.
4) I took a NYX Glitter liner in Crystal Silver and applied it to my inner corners and along the inner third of my lower lash line, and then I took it and drew a thin line directly above the wing. I took it from the very tip of the wing to about halfway across my eyelid.
5) I curled my lashes and applied mascara, and that's it!
If anyone decides to try any of my makeup of the day looks, I'd love to see them! Good luck!
Hi beauties! I have a makeup of the day for this natural, springy look for you today.
It was pretty simple, and the lip color is the same color that's on my cheeks (hooray for multi-tasking products!) but I'll tell you all about that later...
Let's get glowing!
1) Primed my lids as usual with my Sephora Perfecting Eye Primer and MAC Painterly Paint Pot
2) I applied concealer today- something I don't normally do, but I was noticing a lot of redness around my nose and on my chin (and my concealer didn't even completely cover it but hey, I tried). I used Clinique's Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer in shade 02. This concealer contains salicylic acid so for those of you that are breakout-prone, this stuff is magical.
3) For my eyes, I used my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette (this thing is my go-to when I put my makeup on in the morning. I highly recommend it). I applied the shade Suspect all over my lids and into my crease with a medium shadow brush.
4) Then, I took the shade Tease on a crease brush and blended it into my crease, making sure I didn't take the color up too high. I'm trying to stay really natural today!
5) I took the shade Blackout on a really skinny smudge brush and with the tiniest amount (this black is SUPER pigmented) I essentially drew in my outer-V.
6) Blend, blend, blend! With a clean, fluffy shadow brush I blended Blackout until there were no harsh edges, just the most subtle bit of darkness in the outer corners.
7) I curled my lashes (as usual)
8) I applied my Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper (my favorite liner ever ever ever!!) really close to my lash line and added the tiniest inkling of a wing (it makes your outer lashes look more defined and longer if you extend the wing just the smallest bit)
9) I applied my Physician's Formula Organic Jumbo Lash mascara
10) I went ahead and popped some color on my cheeks today. I used Benefit's Posie Tint...3 tiny dashes and blend as fast as possible before it dries, otherwise you have blotchiness and no one wants that!
11) I also used Posie Tint on my lips (about 3 coats) and blended with my finger until I got the desired amount of color.
I know it seems like a lot of steps, but it was actually a pretty quick look! Good luck, everyone!
