Naturally Glamorous




This is a naturally glamorous look that will have you glowing for the entire day!  It is definitely my go-to process for everyday makeup (minus the lashes).  Here is what I did to achieve this look:



Start with a fresh face - don't forget to moisturize! I use Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel.



Primer is your friend - I promise!  The Sephora brand works just fine:



Add highlight underneath your eyes and along the bridge of your nose all the way up to your forehead:


(Looking crazy as hell)


I contour with NARS dark concealer:


I use it on the sides of my chin and just below my cheekbones.  Don't forget to blend...well!




Lightly dust Ben Nye Banana Powder over the highlighted areas:



Apply liquid foundation starting at the jawline and lightly build your way inward.  I never really used to like MAC, but their foundation is amazeballs!



I also add my foundation on the sides of my nose to create more structure to my nose.

Now is when I load on the lip balm (my lips tend to get dry after applying foundation):


EOS is my go-to!

Time to bring everything together with powder foundation.  MAC does it again!


Let's tackle those eyebrows - I use MAC's Fluidline dipdown gel liner and Espresso eyeshadow:


BAM!

I use this Elf highlight (concealer) for under my brows:



I used my Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette on my eyes (Semi-Sweet and Haute Chocolate)




Lastly, apply mascara.  My all-time fav is 'They're Real' by Benefit.   (My eyelashes are so short and this stuff really brings them to life!)


BOOM!

I don't normally wear false eyelashes, but when I do, I use the individual ones. (Black eyelash glue is a must for me)


Finish with Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray if you want this ish to last for the whole day:


Et Voila!
