Easy 10 Minute Everyday Glam Make-up
// SMUDGE - Easy 10 Minute Everyday Glam Make-up //
At this point in my life I have mastered a very easy, daily make-up, that *bonus* looks like it took way more time/energy than it actually does. As a make-up artist I really do enjoy the “me time” I take every morning to get myself looking presentable for the world. I used to love playing with crazy eye shadow or lipstick colors and coming up with new make-up looks everyday! At this stage in my life though I really don't have time for that ( nor does my fiancé have the patience when waiting on me ). Thus my go-to make-up has evolved into this super easy yet everyday glam look that takes about 10 minutes :
STEP ONE: Wash ( Clarins One Step Exfoliating Cleanser ), Moisturize ( Clarins Multi-Active Cream-Gel ) and Prime ( MAC Prep + Prime Base ) your skin.
STEP TWO: Apply a light foundation ( Almay Smart Shade Make-up in Medium ) and concealer ( Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Medium ) with your hands. Apply powder and/or bronzer ( NARS Bronzing Powder in Laguna ) with a big fluffy brush ( NARS Mie Kabuki Brush ) for a soft flawless application.
STEP THREE: Fill in brows with a pencil ( Anastasia Brow Wiz in Soft Brown ) and define with a powder ( Anastasia Brow Duo in Soft Brown ) applied by an angled brush ( Anastasia Mini Duo Angled Brush ). Then apply a beige colored liner to your water line ( NARS Larger Than Life Eyeliner in Rue Bonaparte ), this really opens up the eyes and makes you look like you got more sleep.
STEP FOUR: Apply eye shadow to the crease of your eyelids ( I apply NARS Bronzing Powder in Laguna first, then MAC Brown Script , and a LITTLE bit of MAC Carbon ). Apply all with a great blending brush ( MAC 224 Tapered Blending Brush ). Under the eyes I apply shadow ( NAKED Basics Palette in colors Faint and Crave ) with an angled brush. To the inner corners of the eye and brow bone I add a cream highlight ( NARS Multiple in Copacabana ) applied with my finger.
STEP FIVE: Apply God’s greatest gift to earth aka mascara ( Covergirl Lashblast in Very Black ). Then apply blush ( I use a combo of NARS Outlaw and Orgasm ) then highlight on your cheek bones ( NARS Multiple in Copacabana ).
STEP SIX: Apply Lipstick ( I use a combo of NARS Audacious Lipstick in Anna and Charlotte ) topped with a bit of lipgloss ( NARS Turkish Delight. )
Well there you have it, easy glam in ten mins. If I’m wanting to feel extra fancy I’ll add a winged liner or for going out I’ll add more MAC Carbon eye shadow and throw on some fake lashes.
