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.

oh these looks are so pretty!!! You look gorgeous. I have a question about lip stains, though. Every time I use them all the color just migrates to the edge of my lips so it just looks like I'm wearing heavy lip liner! I've tried waiting to let the color sink in, applied two or three layers, but nothing seems to work! I love the look of stains and would love to be able to pull them off. Help? :)
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous!
ReplyDeletei love makeup!
ReplyDeletei'm so bad at putting it on though!
hahaa
Perfect look. Love the lip color!
