Hey guys, long time no blog! I'm back today with my easy to get, everyday eye and face look. This is my go-to looks on days when 1. I don't have a lot of time, 2. I'm being lazy and want something easy that I know looks good, or 3. I'm going somewhere that I need a simple, yet glamorous look. The great thing about a look like this is, that you can tailor it to fit your needs; such as, you can change up the colors on the lid or lips or cheeks, you can make the eyeliner smaller or larger, or wear no eyeliner. I just love that I can wake and quickly throw this look on and I know that I'm going to look put together and like I spent double the amount of time to get it. I really hope yall like this look and keep reading to find out what I used and how you can get this look for yourself.
How To: EYES
-Apply a skin toned base all over your lids and underneath the lower lash line to prime the eyes.
-Take a satin finish ivory shadow and highlight under the brow and around the tear ducts to really help brighten and open the eyes.
-On a large fluffy brush, blend a matte, medium pink/brown shade into your crease to act as your blending/transition shade.
-Apply a shimmery pale pink shadow to the lid, leaving the very outer corner open. The reason I'm using ivory and pale pink shades is because I really want to create an open, bright eye and those shades and the finishes they are in really help achieve that.
-On a small blending brush, take a medium matte brown shadow and blend it into the crease and outer corner of the eye. You also want to run this color all along underneath the lower lash line. You want to bring this color down as far as you are comfortable, then blend it out with your original transition shade.
-Take a matte finish black liquid liner and create a semi-dramatic wing and instead of bringing the line all the way into the inner corner, stop halfway. This will, again, help to create a more open rounded effect to the eyes.
-Tightline your eyes with a waterproof black pencil, then curl your lashes and add mascara to your top and bottom lashes.
-Fill in your brows, but keep them natural and set them with brow gel to keep the hairs in place all day. Filling in your brows will completely change your face and help to frame the eyes.

How To: FACE
-Apply a pore erasing primer all over your face, focusing mainly in the center of your face where pores are normally the largest.
-Buff a light-medium coverage foundation all over your face and down onto your neck.
-Apply a corrector under your eyes to help erase dark circles and brighten them up.
-Apply a concealer that's the same or slightly lighter than your foundation to the center of your face, around your nostrils, and under your eyes, then blend it in with a damp beauty blender.
-Set all of the concealer with a light toned powder, then set everything else with a powder that matches the foundation. If you are pressed for time you don't have to use two different powders, I just like the effect it gives.
-Use a matte bronze to bronze and sculpt the face. While you want your face to have definition, you also want to buff and blend out the edges so it looks more natural.
-Apply a glowy pinky blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend back.
-Highlight the tops of your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, cupid's bow, and anywhere else you feel comfortable. I used the same eyeshadow that I used to highlight the eyes on my face, so that it all blended seamlessly.
-For my lips: I first used Sigma's lip concealer to conceal my natural lip color and create a blank canvas, then I lined my lips with a light pink lip liner, then I applied Urban Decay's Native Revolution lipstick straight to my lips.
I really hope you all liked this look! I'm so sorry I haven't been updating lately, but it's Mardi Gras season down here in Louisiana, which is like one of our busiest times of years. So I've had family down, a cousin staying with me, lot's of parades and family get togethers to go. It's just been non stop for a little while, but I really hope to start posting more regularly. So don't forget to leave me a comment with any requests or comments you might have and also give me +1 if you liked this look <3
