Exotic Look!


Okay, it's been like a month since my last blog. I'm ready for a fresh start after Disney World and midterms! Anywho, my favorite look lately is that kind of tropical looking, I just came back from the beach make-up. I tried to use as few tools for a more natural looking face.

1) First and foremost, I had put a few layers of Clarins Sunless tanner on...THEN, I took it a step further with Benefit's Talk to the Tan. It's kind of like a slightly heavier tinted moisturizer. It's only job is to deliver color, so it doesn't do anything about coverage.
2) I squirted 2 pumps of MakeUp Forever's HD Foundation and covered my blemishes/dark circles with Makeup Forevers Concealer Palette in #1 and YSL's Touche Eclat. I set that with Bare Minerals MineralVeil.

3) I went slightly heavy on the bronzer (Bare Minerals Warmth)
and used Benefit's Blush in Dallas.

4) Here's where you can get as creative as you want. I took the tip of my middle finger, dabbed it in my bronzer
and rubbed it evenly over my eyelids. I made sure to get the creases, because if you notice, usually when you get sun
the color is always slightly darker on your eyelids. Then I used my pinky finger to distribute bronzer
below my eyelids. I applied mascara, black liner in the creases, and bronze liner below the lower lashes.
I made sure to blend it it so it gives you those exotic looking eyes.

5) End with lipliner, DON"T FORGET to blend it in, and some berry colored lipgloss. It's the best
beach/summer make-up that can easily be worn in the winter.

Try it out and let me know!
