No makeup, makeup

The no makeup look is super popular this summer. I don’t know about yall, but I need makeup to achieve this look. Sounds so silly, but my skin isn’t even. I take care of my skin so it is clear, but I have discoloration! I have redness around my nose and some mornings my eyes are puffy and darker! I promise all of you, when you see this look on actresses and models they have on makeup too. Of course, start with a clean and fresh face. Foundation, concealer, and bronzer…. Just like that…. Flawless no makeup look! Completely even skin, with a bright glow! Moisturizer all over, the use a beauty blender to pat on foundation of your choice. Next, conceal under your eyes. Set the entire face with loose powder and hit the cheeks with bronzer. I also like to put clear eye drops in my eyes to make them clear and not so red. (That’s one of my favorite tricks) It brightens up your eyes and makes you look so fresh! Lastly, moisturizer your lips with a chap stick or Vaseline! Hope to see this trend on all you lovelies at some point this summer!

My take on this trend…  

Models love this look…. 

 

Summer Red

Most people think that red is a winter color, but I’m here to tell everyone that red can be worn in the summer too. It can be done wrong and I’m posting this to help each of you figure out the red lip trend. The difference between winter red and summer red is skin and eyes. In the winter you can wear red lips with a full on smokey eye. During the summer it’s all about skin! Prep your face with a delicious moisturizer, I love oil of Olay. Next, find yourself a tinted moisturizer, I personally use Too Faced beauty balm in nude glow. Then, with a beauty blender or sponge pat on foundation or a BB cream. I went for the Marcelle BB cream in golden glow. You may want to use foundation if you are wanting a heavier coverage. I know you may be thinking that is so much on your face, but each product is meant to be used lightly. I let each product dry completely before applying the next. After your face is done, use a shimmer eyeshadow all over the lid. Then, line the top of the eye with a black liner. Try to keep it thin if you are using a liquid liner and if using a pencil use it lightly and smudge it. Apply lots of mascara to top and bottom lashes. Next step is concealer, I concealed under my eyes with makeup forever concealer in number 6. Then, I used a bronzer with shimmer on my cheeks, forehead, and chin. Bronzing these areas give you a glow! When the sun hits your face, you appear to have glowing skin! I am in love with shimmery bronzer during the summer. My favorite bronzer during the summer is NARS in Laguna. Finally, brush your lips lightly with concealer. Then choose your red, my favorite red is Mac Ruby Woo. I think matte red looks better than anything else. Please try out this trend and tag me!  I cannot wait to see all you beautiful ladies rocking the summer red lips!

Summer nights 

Summer is here ladies and I’m so excited. Summer nights can be tragically hot and sweaty, but you still want to look fabulous. (Or at least I do) When I go out I want to look glamorous and done up, but with summer heat… lots of makeup doesn’t mix. I know that I leave my house feeling great then look in a mirror 2 hours later and see sweat marks, eyeliner running, and just so freaking hot from all the makeup! Well, I think this look is an amazing way to feel super glamourous and not so heavy! The key and most important part of this look is EYELASHES!!! I personally use just false strip lashes, but lash extensions are so amazing to have during summer. Some eyes don’t react well to extensions and certain glues. I happen to be one of those girls who can’t have extensions. My eyes just aren’t trying to have it… RUDE. Ok, so for this look it only takes minutes.. Maybe longer for people who aren’t use to applying false lashes. First step to summer skin, always start with a clean face and SPF moisturizer. Then I applied a BB cream with SPF. I personally used the Too Faced Buffed BB cream, but whatever you prefer will be just fine. I stress SPF because you don’t want a leather face, I promise you will still tan with a SPF! Then, I started on my eyes, just apply a light color over the entire lid and a golden bronze color to crease. You do not want to make it dark, stay away from dark shimmer colors. The effect you’re trying to accomplish is fresh! Then, I applied my false lashes to my top lash line. You will not need eyeliner for this look. Let your lashes dry and then apply a little mascara just to fluff them up even more! I put mascara on my bottom lashes and a white pencil liner to the water line. Applying white or nude to the inside bottom water line creates a fabulous look.. So bright! Lastly, I put concealer under my eyes to cover the dark circles! After you have finished, go all over your face with a shimmery bronzer and blush. Literally any lip color would work with these eyes, but I chose a nude. Please go get some lashes this summer ladies, if you don’t want to spend money on extensions go for the false strip lash. You can find false eyelashes at any drugstore for a great price. If you do chose the strip lash, make sure they are the full ones. Please go get you some lashes and try this look! I look forward to seeing all of your pictures! Happy summer dolls…

Summer Contour

Contouring is a trend that has been around forever! However, with hotter months arriving such a harsh contour is not what you want. I am not saying don’t contour this summer, I’m saying do a lighter version. Blending is totally the key to success in this look. My most favorite contour products are the Tarte contour stick and the Anastsia Beverly Hills powder contour kit. Your forehead, cheeks, and jawline are what you wanna hit. Do no do it too dark, you want an evenly blended soft shadow. HARSH LINES ARE A NO MAM!  The goal is to make your bones pop! Doing a super dark line will have you looking more like a drag queen than a summer goddess! Nothing wrong with drag queens, I adore them! Ladies, we just have a more delicate face that doesn’t require all that! Less is more in this look, the powder is dark so you do not have to go over and over in the same spot. A glowing face is your goal. Also, don’t get discouraged makeup application gets better with practice. Take time to try different things and  you will be a pro in no time! Love you my fabulous dolls!

POP OF COLOR

With summer right around the corner I’m really excited to share my favorite trends! There are so many fun things going on and the pop of color liner is one of my favorites! Yes ladies… BLUE is back! This trend turns any eye into something fun and flirty! The color possibilities are really endless! You can use any color you like, I chose to use blue today. I also really LOVE bright orange! I used a sephora liquid liner on the top lash line, and extended it out to a wing! Let’s be honest, I really love a wing! You can also use the color liner on the bottom inside the eye on the tear line! I urge you to go get some colored liners this summer and work it! I can’t wait to see some bright summer eyes! #lnhface

Barely There…

With summer right around the corner, a barely there post is a must! It’s a super runway trend right now and so easy to accomplish. First, pick a great foundation with SPF in it. I personally love Benefit Hello Flawless, it’s super light and contains SPF 25. After the foundation apply powder, whatever powder you love will be perfect. This may not be the foundation for you, just make sure it has the coverage and SPF you want. I stress the SPF because it’s a great makeup to wear to the beach or even a pool party! If you are blessed with completely even skin, AMEN, you can forgo this step and just use a moisturizer with SPF. Next, apply concealer as you normally do. I use my concealer under my eyes to brighten them up. Third, choose an eyeshadow that has a gold tint to it. When you apply the eyeshadow pat it all over the eye lid, patting prevents you from applying too much. Now you are ready for liner, I use a black liner and again pat it right against the lash line. The goal here is to just darker your lash line, you don’t want an eyeliner line. Then, hit your lashes with your favorite mascara! Lastly, apply your bronzer and blush as you normally do and give your lips a glow with a nude gloss. Also, with a quick switch of lip color you can be ready for a night on the town or a dinner with the girls! This is so simple and a great way to wear makeup in the summer without feeling too hot and smothered. !

Purple eyes

It’s been a while since I’ve written a post, I’ve been so busy with makeup! Wedding season is hitting me hard and I couldn’t feel more grateful for all my beautiful clients who keep me busy! Thank you so much! Now.. On to spring! Yes ladies, purple eye shadow is all the rage! It can be anywhere from a light brush or a dark purple smokey. It was on all the runways for New York fashion week. I know that purple seems like a scary color, at first I was like whhhhatt!?!? I really thought of recital, but it can be done so gorgeous! I used a light purple in the crease and under my bottom lash line and ladies it really brightens up brown eyes! So for all you brown eyed girls like me, you really must try this trend! Don’t be afraid of color, it’s spring time! 

This is the finished look! So delicate, and easy!

Wing It

I love a winged eyeliner, but I have the same issue any girl has.. How do I make them even and perfect? Ladies look no further I have found the answer to all your wing questions. It’s so simple to do a winged look with a piece of tape! Just get a piece of scotch tape and place it at the corner of your eye angling it up and away from the eye. Ladies it’s the simplest makeup artist trick in the book, anyone is capable of following a line! Once your tape is in place, just apply your eyeshadow and eyeliner as you always do. Use the tape as a grid, it can be messy and when you take the tape off you will be amazed at your results! Get in your makeup and try this makeup trick! Please use the pictures below to help you out.

Gloomy Daze

It’s a gloomy day here in southeast Texas! When it’s raining and freezing cold the only thing that sounds like a good idea is a long nap! Well, I say get up and get ready! Be creative and get your mind working.. The day is cold, but you don’t have to be! Todays makeup look is simple and fresh! I have a light shadow all over the lids and a light brown in the crease. I’m really loving the thin winged liner. Just a thin line and bring it out just a bit still following your natural lash line. I don’t love to go Amy Winehouse with it, but hey whatever floats your gorgeous boat!  I also lined my bottom lash line with brown shadow. Then I hit the bottom tear line with a white pencil liner, this trick REALLY  makes your eyes pop! Finish your look with a good bronzer and bright pink blush. It’s the perfect time to go to town with that blush! Hit your cheek bones and nose for that cold, but totally cute chilled look! Like you’ve spend the day in snow, but look totally amazing! Haha!! Use a natural lip color or gloss and your are ready to take on this gloomy day with a great fresh makeup and hopefully a positive attitude. Be sweet and compliment someone today, it’s raining outside and it may bring some sunshine in their day. Love you dolls! Happy hump day!
