Spring Awakening Beauty: In Bloom

So far I've shared my Spring Awakening posts on how to highlight your face and how to get your hair glossy. Today, I thought I'd put it all together with two beauty looks. These are quick, fresh-faced, and pretty. Enjoy.

L O O K  1 (Natural Beauty):

• This the the fresh-faced and barely-there look, for those who just want natural beauty with minimum products.
• Apply tinted moisturizer (I used CoverGirl), since in spring/summer the trend is always lighter/less foundation.
• Wiggle the mascara (I used NYC Big Bold) wand back and forth on lashes and apply two coats.
• Dot lip stain (NYC 16-Hour) on the cheeks and rub in.
• Brush lip stain on lips. Add a clear gloss or just lip balm if desired.

L O O K  2 (In Bloom):

• I decided to do two looks, one that was very subtle (in fact, so subtle that it didn't show up on camera!!), and one that just takes it up a notch.
• Apply BB Cream (I used Garnier) or tinted moisturizer.  
• Dot in highlighter around the eyes, cupid's bow, and under bottom lip.
• Apply white eyeliner on the bottom waterline to look more awake.
• Using the Revlon 12-Hour shadow quad in Berry Bloom, brush the lightest shade all over the lid, the pink shade in the crease, and the darkest shade in the outer corner and blend.
• Brush eyeliner (Maybelline Lash Stiletto) on top lids, slightly winging at the ends.
• For dramatic eyes, use two mascaras, (NYC Big Bold and Rimmel Max Volume Flash). Two coats each (after using an eyelash curler).
• Brush the lip stain on lips and add the lipstick if desired (Maybelline Pink Me Up...so pretty!)
• Dot lip stain on cheeks and rub in for a slightly flushed cheeks.

T I P S :

• No tinted moisturizer? Make your own with facial moisturizer and foundation.
• Use a stippling brush when applying the tinted moisturizer to give your face that dewy, airbrushed effect.
