A Summer Ready Full Makeup Look

June 17, 2013

When I do my summer makeup I like to stick with a fresh faced look that says “I look good without trying”. Always remember to start off with a clean and moisturized face before putting on any makeup.

1. Apply a very sheer coat of your favorite foundation and powder. (I used Revlon Photo Ready Foundation in Medium Beige and Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Powder)
2. Apply a cream highlighter with your fingers along the top of your cheekbone. (I used Benefit’s What’s Up)
3. Now let’s add some “coraly” whipped blush. Always apply with your fingers to get the most natural looking application. (I used L’Oreal whipped blush in Angelic) 
4. It’s time to give ourselves that warm summer glow! Add a little bronzer along your temples, nose, and the hollows of your cheeks. (I used Hard Candy in Tropics)
5. Bold brows are all the rage right now. Do your eyebrows just how you like them; the thicker the better! (I used Coastal Scents Brow Tones)
6. Now for those eyes! We are keeping it really simple, so go ahead and give yourself some eyeliner. I put eyeliner from the “tear duct” into a small wing. (I used Jordana in Black Rocks)
7. Now for that glitter! Give yourself an identical line just above your black eyeliner. (I used NYX Liquid Crystal Liner in Crystal Hip)
8. I like my lashes big and bold. For mascara I applied two coats to the top and 1 coat to the bottom lashes. (I used Rimmel Glam Eyes and L’Oreal Collagen Power Volume, both in Blackest Black)
9. Last, but definitely not least, those lips! Apply a single coat of Maybelline Color Whispers in “Coral Ambition”.

Voila! You are now officially summer ready!
