Are you tired of my Valentine’s Day posts yet? No? Good! This one’s for the girl who doesn’t one to wear a full face and prefers the natural look (and by natural I mean your behind still has to wear a bold lip, mmkay?)
Cover FX Mattifying Primer // bareMinerals COMPLEXION RESCUE™ Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream // Milani Rose Powder Blush // Real Techniques Bold Metals Brush // bareMinerals Smoothing Face Brush // mark on the edge liner // MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara // Milani Matte Lipstick
So you’re not a cake face. That’s okay! If you prefer a more natural look or are looking for something to provide coerage without clogging your pores check out nareMinerals’ new COMPLEXION RESCUE™ Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream. This sheer-to-medium gel gives you slight coverage while hydrating dry skin (perfect for the dry winter air). If you have oily skin, like I do, you can apply Cover FX Mattifying Primer With Anti-Acne Treatment beforehand to control the excess oil. To finish off the face, lightly apply Milani Rose Powder Blush in Tea Rose using Real Techniques‘ new Bold Metals 300 Tapered Blush Brush. Tea Rose is a dusty rose that applies beautifully and provides great coverage.
On the eyes, apply Colour Pop Cosmetics’ TO-A-T eyeshadow- – a matte mid-tone warm brown- across lids for a hint of color and line using mark on the edge liner (winging out a bit). This has been my staple liquid eyeliner because it’s dark and lasts forever without smudging off. Finish off by applying MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara, one of my all time favorite mascaras because it gives volume and length.
Finish off with Milani’s new matte lipstick in Matte Orchid (fuchsia). This color does require some attention. You’ll have to touch up after eating and the scent may annoy some (smells like watermelon candies).
