Natural Makeup

So I am absolutely in LOVE with the natural makeup look. I think it's so airy and best of all, IT'S EASY!!!! Here are some of my fav's I found.

The Key to Natural Makeup is DON'T OVER DO IT, IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE NATURAL!
 -Use your foundation as neatly and as thinly as you are comfortable with. I choose to only use BB cream for days like this. I put more in the areas I need more coverage and instead of rubbing, I pat my face until it's blended.
-For Eyelashes, don't worry about those falsies or 3D Lashes. Put a couple layers of your favorite mascara and call it good.
-Next step, Shadow. Pick a neutral brown and focus the color in the crease and under the eye. add a lighter or shimmery color on the inner corner of you eye to help make your eye pop as well as just under your brow bone. Feel free to add eyeliner but don't make it to harsh. Blend, Blend, Blend. my favorite brush for this is a liner/shader brush found here.
-For blush, choose a color that feels natural with your skin and is soft. Remember you don't want to go to harsh. I love Younique's blush color "Sweet" just for this. You can find that here.
        - Contouring and Highlighting is where it's at for the natural look. Contouring is going to really push your look from boring to beautiful. Feel free to make it as dramatic as you want focusing under the cheek bones, sides of your nose and your temples.
-For lipgloss go with a neutral/natural soft color. I chose a gloss called Luxe which is neutral with a soft darker pink shade mixed in.
Here is my re-created look:

Remember, You are beautiful Just the way you are. xx

Primer

Okay Today we are talking Primer.
What is Primer? Only the most amazing product ever! (okay, so I have a lot of those) Primer creates a flawless canvas as it enhances your skin's texture and primes and prepares your skin for mineral makeup. This primer is the best by far that I have found. It's called Younique's Glorious Face and Eye Primer. It's great because you can use it for your face and your eyes. You don't have to buy separate ones! This Primer is also SO silky smooth!!! Oh man my skin feels like velvet and looks like porcelain. It doesn't ball up like other primers, Lasts all day and ingredients are 100% natural, free of parabens, oils, synthetic fragrances, and cheap fillers. Also! (I know, how can this get any better?!) It's suitable for all skin types! It doesn't make me break out which is one of the most important things for me.
