I haven't done a makeup look in a little while so today I thought I would share with you the makeup I have been wearing a lot lately. It's fresh, natural, light, and perfect for spring with the subtle hints of pink. It is perfect as a 'no makeup, makeup look' and is easy to wear every day. I use quite a sheer base but if you're not a fan of that then go for a more full coverage option, but remember even if you a sheer base concealer can hide a multitude of blemishes and discoloration.
I haven't been using a primer lately because I have been putting on a ton of moisturizer before a base so I go straight in with the Bobbi Brown BB cream. I have been loving this because it has a SPF 35
built in so I don't have to worry about my skin out in the sun. I then conceal any blemishes, redness, and under eye circles with my favorite concealer, Estee Lauder's double wear. I love this concealer, its light and not cakey but has an amazing coverage to it. With this base I don't really need to set it with powder so I just set the concealer under my eyes with some bareMinerals well rested. Now I am keeping this look simple but my face looks like a football it I don't do a little bit of contouring, so I am going in with a little Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder in the hollows of my cheeks and sculpting my nose a little. Then I'm adding just a little of Nars laguna bronzer to warm up my complexion. I picked up this limited edition blush by Tarte last week and I am in love with it, the color is a beautiful neutral and goes with any makeup look. I add just a little to the apples of my cheeks. After that I take some MAC soft and gentle on the high points of my face for a little bit of glow. On the eyes I have gone really simple and just taken Hanky Panky by Colourpop, which is a beige slightly darker than my skin, all over the lid. To finish of the eyes I have used a thin coating of Makeup Forever smokey lash mascara. Lastly for the lips I have gone for a sheer pinky nude, this one by Marc Jacobs in the shade have we met? is beautiful and perfect for a simple daytime look.
