Sweet Spring and Sultry Summer Look
For the Love of Makeup Series
::1::
Hello my lovelies!
In celebrating summer growing closer, I thought I'd share two looks today. A sweet spring makeup and a sultry summer makeup. Both share the same bronze and brown smokey eye, but the two lip looks are different (as I'm sure you gathered above). I also figured this would be a great way transitioning day makeup to night makeup, if someone (not me) had a social life. In high school, I seriously said I'd go clubbing dressed as a club sandwich. Some people thought that was funny, while most others just looked at me with pity in their eyes that sort of said, "You poor, sad, deranged girl. Stay away from us" or "It's no wonder she doesn't got any friends!" NAME THAT MOVIE.
Annnnnyway. Forgive the pictures you'll scroll through. I'm not a filmmaker. I wish all the time I knew how to make videos. I mean if this exits, I'm sure it's not that hard, but only time will tell. One day I'd like to upload a makeup tutorial video, but for now, pictures will suffice and I hope you'll bear with me! (:
The Goods
**If you have any questions or suggestions with the products I've used, feel free to leave a comment or email me!**
The Face
Start with a clean face! I use Neutrogena's Oil Free Acne Wash Creme Cleanser. After washing, I moisturize and prime my face, creating a barrier between my skin and the foundation. I've used NYX Studio Perfect Photo Loving Primer for a long time and I can't wait to try other products! If you have any suggestions, let me know!
After moisturizing and priming, I dot my foundation all over my face before dabbing it in with a foundation brush. My foundation is L'Oreal True Match in C5 Classic Beige. Then I conceal my dark circles under my eyes and my eyelids with MAC's Pro Longwear Concealer in NC25. I make a large triangle under my eyes and blend that area with my ring fingers. After that's done, I set everything with Ben Nye's Translucent Face Powder in Fair (YEAH STAGE MAKEUP KITS).
The Brows
My favorite part! I fill in my brows with Maybelline's Expert Wear Brow Pencil in Dark Brown. For a more casual look, I leave it at that. However, I wanted the big guns. After filling in the sparse hairs with a pencil, I set everything with my Clinique Eye Shadow in French Roast with an angled brush. It gives the brows a cleaner, sleeker, and sculpted look.
The Eyes
On my last blog post, I went over the same eye shadow look. I had some comments requesting I make a video with how I do my eyeliner and I promise I will! Once things are a little more stable with my home life. How I do a classic cat eye is pretty simple: Draw a line from the bottom lash line out. Create a triangle from the end point to the top lash line. Fill in the triangle with the eyeliner. I coated my lashes with the Zoom Fast Black Lash by MAC. You can see a comparison between mascara and no mascara! Crazy!
The Lips
For the Sweet Spring Look, I simply applied MAC's Craving lipstick and added a bit of highlight on my top lip. For the Sultry Summer Look, I first lined and colored in my lips with Maybelline's Color Sensational Lip Liner in Red 50. I then topped it off with Maybelline's Color Whisper lipstick in Who Wore it Red.
