Beauty How To: My 5 Minute Mommy-Makeover….
Hello my beauties!!! Meet my girlfriend Christine….busy mom of 3 (yes, I said THREE) girls all under the age of seven, she is ONE mom-on-the-go (what is the STAY-at-home mom thing supposed to mean anyways?). I wanted to show her an easy, FAST makeup technique that would enhance her already gorgeous natural beauty…and did I say FAST?
Skin: I used one of my all time favorite liquid mineral foundations…Illuminare Fantastic Finish Foundation ($27). This moisturizing foundation gives beautiful medium-coverage while providing an SPF of 21! I applied to the center of her face blending outwards….just using it where she needed it. After that, I set it with my good old standby Cornsilk Shineless Classic Translucent Loose Powder(<$6)…if you’ve ever read anything I’ve wrote, you know my devotion to this magic powder. I’ve used it since I was 13…YIKES!
Cheeks, Eyes and Face: Then I used my handy-dandy favorite blush/bronzer combo EVER…..Nars Bronzer/Blush Duo in Orgasm and Laguna($37)…I applied the bronzer in my classic horseshoe shape along the hairline of the entire forehead and tops and sides of cheekbones….and then to the contours of her eyes with a big fluffy blush. I topped it off with the blush just on the apples of her cheeks…..SMILE pretty Christine!!! 
Eyes: Before I put the bronzer in her crease, I highlighted her browbone and inner corners with another all-time fav…Prestige Loose Eye Shadow in Jump (<$5). After the bronzer I brushed a quick coat of Cargos’ TexasLash Mascara ($17) to her lashes, top and bottom (and you really only need one coat with this stuff!). Next up was Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil in Medium Ash ($22) to fill in her brows and frame her face. This handy pencil has it’s own brush …I just love multi-tasking…..
Lips: The finishing touch was a newbie I picked up at Target the other day…Pixi Lip Blush in Purity($18)…this stain is perfect “natural” lip and blush color for practically everyone (who is caucasian) and has major staying power…I topped it off with Bobbi Brown Shimmer Lip Gloss in Rose Sugar ($22)…. and Christine was out the door!!!
This look is perfect for anything from picking up the kids at school or a well-deserved (and seldom taken) lunch with the girls (sans kids)…And the best part? It took me like 5 minutes MAX to get the look.……..Doesn’t she just look fab? Did you ever think that just bronzer could bring out your eyes this much? Thanks so much Christine for being such a doll and letting me plaster your beautiful face all over the internet!!! lol
If you have any questions at all about how to get this look email me anytime!!!
Be Beautiful Ya’ll….
