Cierra Mais: mascara

Valentine's Day Makeup Look!

3:58 PM

Good afternoon lovelies! I'm excited to share this pic-tutorial I put together and created for this coming Saturday for Valentine's Day! It's more of a glam and lowly look but you can tweak it to your liking. Enjoy xx

First prime your eyelids- unused urban decay primer potion.

Then I used the 3rd to last shade (M3) from Smashbox Full Exposure palette

In my crease with a blending brush & did the windshield wiper technique.

Then do darken up the crease gradually I used M2- same brush & technique but mainly outer-V

Then M1 I used a finishing crease brush in the outer-v to smoke it out-

Also can add on bottom lash line too.

Now to highlight the brow bone- skimp from the urban decay naked 2 basics w/ a flat shadow brush.

Now back to the Smashbox palette- use S4 on the lid & inner-corner tear duct w/ flat eyeshadow brush.

Eyelash time! First comb through your lashes, then curl them and give a few pumps to them. *Do NOT curl lashes AFTER mascara*

Then use any mascara(s) you want! I first use 1 coat of the loreal telescopic then the rest with Benefits They're Real mascara.

Foundation & powder! I dampen my beauty blender, then a couple spiritz of my cover girl 3-in-1 foundation (shade 845 warm beige), blend all over face. Then I get my Rimmel stay matte powder (004 sandstorm) and use a powder brush and mattify my face.

Now tame those brows ladies! I come through them then do SHORT strokes of my eyebrow pencil (too dark for my hair color)- Rimmel professional eyebrow pencil in 002 hazel. Then brush/blend with an angled brush.

Highlight! Concealer that's light helps- 2 shades lighter than skin! Under eyes, bridge of nose, middle of forehead, chin & Cupid's bow. Maybelline instant age rewind (210 fair Clair)

Use your beauty blender or brush to blend in- stipple motions.

Bronze baby! I used Victoria's Secret baked mineral bronzing powder-goddess. & loreal glam bronze- matte bronze 947. Brushes: finishing contour, precision sweep & a dense fluffy brush (from vs)

Then do blush- I chose a deep rose: Mac pinch me & finish with a setting spray!

Now lips!

No flash

With flash.
