Sunny Spring Break Look!

With spring break at its start, I thought it would be the perfect time to create a look that fit the feel of warm days and sunshine! It's a fairly easy look, and it is great for hanging out with friends, going shopping, or for vacation.. Let's get started (:

1. First off, you are going to apply a layer of your favorite liquid foundation & blend it in. To do this nicely, you can use a Flat Top Kabuki brush or a Beauty Blender. Start by placing a small nickel sized amount of foundation on your hand, and place little dabs over the areas of your face that you want to perfect. If using a brush, blend with small circles, and if using a Beauty Blender, lightly dab the foundation in! (L'Oreal True Match Lumi)














2. Using a fluffy blush brush, gently swipe a very light amount of coral blush to the apples of your cheeks, along your cheekbones, all the way up to your temple. This makes the color look more natural on your face! (MAC "Peaches"). Next, brush on a bit of cheek highlighter to brighten the look. (Too Faced Candlelight Glow).





 3. Eyeshadow


Pat a shimmery golden yellow all over your eyelid, but stop at the crease

Blend in a coral orange color a little over the yellow and into the crease, just under the brow bone

Finally, apply a slightly darker color, such as "Nooner" from the U.D. Naked Palette (mauve/red), onto the outer V. This creates the look of a sunset, getting gradually yellow to red.

Optional- Curl lashes and apply black mascara
 4. Added touch (:
 L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in 254 "Everbloom" (gorgeeeouss watermelon color!! LOVEE!)  I highly suggest getting this color because it is perfect for spring!


And here is the final look!!




Have fun on spring break everyone, and enjoy the weather!
I will see everyone soon; Next monday we are leaving to go to Florida for a week so I will try to post when I come back.. As for now, let me know in the comments some suggestions/comments/questions!
Friends & Fam: If you need someone to do your makeup for pretty much any occasion, I am available as well!
Thank you!

Update!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to check in and apologize for not posting in a while! I will try to post some more blog entries within the next few weeks, and I will do a review of some of the things that have been happening since I have last posted! As for now, check out a video from my FAVORITE makeup artists on youtube +Jaclyn Hill and +Nicole Guerriero! It's from August, but I was watching it yesterday & I thought it would be a fun thing to share (maybe inspiration for a future post?? hmmm) I watch them all the time, and their videos are so helpful. Much love
