So today I decided to try to capture a daytime look on camera for you guys. I had some problems capturing the look since daytime looks are softer and lighter looks. I hope this helps out though.
I tried explaining the steps but if you'd like anything elaborated please let me know. Maybe on the weekend I could do a more detailed night time look :) I hope you guys like!!
These are the products I used today:

For my brows I use Anastasia's Brow Wiz in brunette

For my eyes I used Urban Decay's Naked pallet. I primed my eyes with Urban Decay's eyeshadow primer potion.
For my lids I used half baked (6th color in). For my darker contour color I used buck (5th color in). To blend buck in and any harsh lines I used naked (3rd color in). For my highlight color right under my brows I used sin (2nd color in). I also used a little bit of darkhorse (8th color in) for the outer corners of my lids.
I lined my lids with Maybelline eyestudio gel liner. I lined the bottom with Urban Decay's 24/7 double ended pencil liner. I used the black side.
I curled my eyelashes with a regular eyelash curler. The mascara I used today was Salma Hayek's Nuance mascara.
For blush I used MAC's mineralize blush in moon river. I used that on the apples of my cheeks. I mixed top and bottom just a little. To contour my cheeks I used light over dark and just used the bottom color.
I lightly dusted the pinky color on. I like using it more for a shimmer during the day and more of a blush at night.
Lastly, for my lips i lightly lined them with Mary Kay's signature lipliner in chocolate. VERY LIGHTLY! I then put a little bit of NYX's soft matte lip cream in Istanbul all over my lips blending it with the lip liner using my fingers. I then used a little bit of MAC's satin lipstick in myth just in the center of my lips. For a little gloss I used Nars turkish delight all over. <3
This is the final look. Hopefully you could see the colors more in these pictures. Usually daytime looks are a little harder to capture on camera just because they are a softer lighter look so hopefully you could see the jist of it. Hope you like :)

I like that you use a variety of makeup, not just expensive ones. I would like to know what are some of the things you would recommend we splurge on vs. drug store brands and what are just as good. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI suggest you splurge on good foundations. If you buy a really cheap one, in my opinion and experience, it makes me look really cakey and I never find the right color. Also eyeliner. Especially pencil eyeliner. If you find the right one it won't smear.
