MAKEUP
Primer: Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
- For events like these, we want our makeup to stay on our face all day long. Also, I'm pretty sure this is my new holy grail primer - I've fallen in love with it.
Base: BareMinerals Complexion Rescue - Spice
- This tinted moisturizer is perfect for color correcting and it's not as heavy as foundation! I used my beauty blender for application.
Concealer: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer - Ginger
- I applied this generously using my beauty blender underneath my eyes, the center of my forehead, the bridge of my nose and my cupid's bow for a brightening effect. I went back in with a concealer brush afterwards to get anything my beauty blender didn't.
Powder: MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation - C5
- To make sure my concealer stays in place, I set with this powder using a Real Techniques powder brush. This powder is a winner in my book because it locks my makeup in place while adding more coverage.
At this point I sprayed Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray to ensure my base wouldn't budge throughout the day.
Bronzer: Too Faced Dark Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
- My favorite! Using a Real Techniques blush brush, I applied this all over my face to warm my skin because bronze goddess = goals. Ya feel me?
Contour: Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit - Medium/Tan
- Using the Real Techniques Bold Metals Flat Contour Brush I mixed Macchiato and Nutmeg and placed the product in the hollows of my cheeks to give the illusion of a slimmer face.
Highlight: BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfecter - Opal
- My other favorite! Using a Sonia Kashuk fan brush, I applied product to the tops of my cheekbones, the center of my forehead, the bridge of my nose, my cupid's bow and my chin to give my skin that sun-kissed, dewy look.
Eyebrows: Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade - Medium Brown
- You know the drill with eyebrows. Using the spooly/angled brush made specifically for Dip Brow, I filled in the brows and set them in place using Elf clear eyebrow gel.
Eyeshadow: Lorac Pro Palette
- Literally the easiest eyeshadow look ever and I was so happy with the end result! Taking "Cream" on a fluffy brush I placed it all over my eyelid and then using a crease brush I put "Mauve" in my crease, adding more product to the crease until I was satisfied with the depth of the color, and that's it!
Lashes: Maybelline Lash Sensational & Ardell Lashes - Demi Whispies
- Since I'm fancy like that, I decided to put on fake lashes and after I applied them I added mascara to blend the two together.
Eyeliner: L'oreal The Super Slim Infallible Liquid Eyerliner
- I applied this over the lash band to hide any eyelash glue that didn't dry clear.
Lips: MAC Lip Liner - Spice & L'oreal Collection Exclusive 610 - Eva's Nude
- Seriously the BEST lip combo ever. Lined and filled my lips with Spice and put Eva's nude on top and honestly I've found my new favorite nude lip combo. And it lasted all day long!
Add a few more sprays of the setting spray and that's the makeup done!
HAIR
Suuuper easy, I just massaged Not Your Mother's Dry Shampoo & Lush No Drought Dry Shampoo into my roots and straightened my hair using a Chi Flat Iron. In the end I chucked on a hat from Urban Outfitters to add more to my look.
