Face of the day: Natural with a Fall Twist

Hey Everyone! So sorry its been so long since I last did a blog post. These last few months have been crazy with starting an internship, working, doing my college classes and managing both youtube channels. But needless to say, I love every minute of what I do! SO....with all that said, let's get into my face of the day!




This morning I was singing in my church choir for the service and I needed my makeup to last, so I'm calling this look: Natural with a Fall twist; because I wanted natural eye makeup but still have it contribute to the season we're in. Just to give you an idea of how long I needed this to last,  I applied my makeup at 5:00 this morning and I wasn't finished singing until 12:30pm. Anyways, here's what I used:




Face...

  • Hard Candy Sheer Envy face primer
  • Neutrogena Visibly Even BB Cream in light to medium
  • IT ByeBye Undereye Concealer in Tan 
  • Revlon PhotoReady concealer in #004 Medium (spot concealer) 
  • Laura Geller Baked highlight in French Vanilla (to set undereye concealer)
  • NYX powder blush in Mocha 
  • Laura Geller Balance-n-Brighten powder foundation in Medium (all over finishing powder)





Eyes...
  • Lorac behind the scenes eyeshadow primer (not pictured) 
  • Smashbox Photo Op Cherry Smoke eye palette (details on the shades used below)
  • Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant Mascara (mini size) 



Eyeshadow How-to...

  • I applied that gold/pink shade (number 1) on my inner corner and a little up onto the inner part of my lid with a flat shadow brush 
  • With that same flat shadow brush, I applied the shimmery/metallic berry shade (number 2) all over the rest of my lid  
  • Next, I applied and blended the shimmery taupe shade (number 3) in my outer corner, the outer part of my lid, and up into the crease with a fluffy brush 
  • Finally, with the same fluffy brush I applied and blended the creamy beige shade (diagonally up from that berry shade) under my brow 


Lips...

I LOVE this line of lipsticks! This is one of the Essence Long Lasting lipsticks in #07 Natural Beauty. It's a beautiful nude/pink color without totally washing out your lips, it's that "My lips but better" kind of shade. 

Daily Nuggets....
