Sultry Beach Photo Shoot Makeup

11:57 AM

I had a beach shoot the other week and I was in control of doing my own hair/makeup. It was so early that I didn't really take any photos of my makeup that day so I recreated it a couple days later!

I hope you enjoy!

So first you will want to prime your face,

I used the Skindinavia Primer Spray.

After that prime your eyelids- Urban Decay Professional Eye Primer.

For eyeshadow I used a couple palettes:

Smashbox Full Exposure-M2 in the crease with a blending brush w/ windshield wiper motion. Then added some of M1 in the outer corner w/ the same blending brush.

Then with my Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics- Stark with a blending brush and used that in the inner lid/crease. Skimp on my brow bone with a flat shader brush.

Then on my lid with a flat shader brush I patted on an individual eyeshadow from Smashbox in the shade ASAP.

Eyebrows I used a pencil by Rimmel, in 002 Hazel. And used a spooli brush to blend the hair & color then added a clear gel over to hold my brows in place.

Eyelashes-

Brushed through eyelashes, then curled them.

Loreal Telescopic mascara (gold tube)

*top & bottom lashes*

Face-

Foundation; Covergirl 3-in-1 (shade 845 warm beige). Applied w/ damp beauty blender

Powder; Rimmel Stay Matte (shade 020 nude beige). Applied w/ fluffy powder brush.

Highlight/conceal; Maybelline Age Rewind (210 fair Claire) on forehead, bridge of nose, under eyes, Cupid's bow & chin (blended w/ beauty blender).

Bronzer; Victoria's Secret Baked Mineral Bronzer (shade Goddess). Applied w/ a finishing contour brush, then with a precision sweep brush, then blended with my dense powder brush.

Then added a blush by NYX (shade terra cotta) with a blush brush to give a blush/bronze/highlight effect (3 in 1 lol).

Lips-

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (shade Bettina).

Then added a lipgloss I got w/ one of my naked palettes from UD (lip junkie- Naked).

Then sprayed my setting spray with my Skindinavia Makeup Setting Spray.

Spring Lippies!💋

5:26 PM

Hello babes!

Today I'm going to show you various lipsticks/lip glosses for this spring! With different brands, colors, finishes! I don't know about you all but I'm a lip fanatic, I love purchasing new lip products... Oops!

First is MAC's Cremesheen Creme D'Nude with MAC's Florabundance Lip Glass on top. This is a little too nude for me, but people with darker skin tones this will look fab!

This is also a MAC product, a Cremesheen finish in the shade Sweet & Sour which a peachy/coraly color! Perfect pair with your summer tan!

This is a NYX Butter Lipstick.. These are literally like butter on the lips! I have the shade Lollies, which is also a peachy/coraly shade. It's a little more sheer than the MAC Sweet & Sour.

NYX Butter Gloss is a lipgloss version of the Butter Lipsticks! In the shade Maple Blondie which is more of a pinky shade despite the coral packaging.

Perfect rosy shade for those spring night outs! Or even during the day like I wore! It's Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in the shade Wild Rose! It is a more satin finish.

Now this is to die for! It's so pigmented even with just one coat! Cannot wait to wear this out this spring & summer (even during the day time!)

Stila Stay All Day Vinyl Lip Gloss in the shade Hot Pink Vinyl!

A dupe for this (maybe not shade fully, buy at least the brand and style) is the Maybelline Color Elxir by the Color Sensarions (shade Fuschia Flourish).

Another MAC lipstick - Amplified (vibrant & semi matte I would say) in the shade Morange! Definitely a spring and summer shade due to it being "orange"!
