Gorgeous Jessica!

For my client Jessica, I wanted to do something a little extra special because she is a natural beauty. She works extremely hard and has just become a registered nurse. So excited for her and all her endeavors! For this look, she wanted a subtle smokey eye that would last her through the day.
The look:
Start with smokey eyes: Mary kay eye shadows : spun silk, crystalline, copper, truffle and precious pink.
Other shadow colors used: L'Oreal emerald infallible eyeshadow and Lise Watier Havanna bronzer for the crease.

I prepped the eyelids prior to this with Mary Kay's eye primer and Makeup forever HD foundation to maintain a water based lid, making it Much easier to blend my mineral based eyeshadows well and even.
Eye liner cateye look: nyx liner (smudge proof!)
Purple 24/7 urban decay liner in the inner lower lid
Skin: prepped with Dermalogica moisturizer (as per request of the client, it's what she used that morning)
Mary kay foundation primer

Used MK concealer in beige 1 and yellow. Blended it in and applied Ben nye banana powder visage under her eyes to set the concealer and highlight

Base: dinair air brush golden beige mixed with their bronzer (she wanted a more sun kissed look b/c she wore white), the peach dinair blush and the Lise Watier Havanna bronzer to contour

Set the skin: Clinique translucent powder using a puff
Used MK dark cherry blush to add to her glow

Lips: MK neutral liner with pink n' plaid by MAC and just a you h of nymphette gloss by Mac

Brows: Anastasia brow wiz combo with makeup forever "aqua brow"

Such an awesome gal! So blessed to work on such a gorgeous face


Eye lashes: duo glue with Katy perry eyelure lashes "oh honey"

Cream foundation sticks, a little goes a long way :-)

For today's look, I started with the eyes! It's always great to start with the eyes so not to mess up your foundation with eye shadow pieces. Prep the eye lids with foundation or eye primer to keep the eyeshadow in place, then apply your colors :-)

The base in my opinion is the most important part of your makeup. It's basically the foundation of the house that you are essentially building, brick by brick. For today's look, I used naimies brand foundation cream stick with SPF 35. I started with priming my face with primer then, using a wet "beauty blender",, take your cream foundation and apply your foundation in rows, like you are laying bricks to your house. If you apply the foundation in rows with a wet sponge, you will spread the product more evenly, give you fuller coverage and you will use less product. After applying your foundation set your foundation with a loose powder and a powder puff using a rolling pin effect, you will cover up any scars or enlarged pores this way. After you have applied your powder, use a large powder brush and sweep off excess powder to not look cakey!

Then apply your contour and highlighting as well as your blush! Feel free to ask me any questions about this look! Have a great day.
