HOW TO GET THAT BEACHY GLOW

Do you ever wish you could keep that beautiful summer beachy glow all winter long? We all know, there is nothing more depressing than watching our summer tan's fade away during those horrendous winter months.

Well, today I am going to be giving you some tips and tricks on how to get that sexy natural healthy glow in just minutes that will easily be a part of your daily beauty regime.

I came across a few different products from a few beauty lines and found that Urban Decay, Hourglass and NARS cosmetics were the best finds to achieve this glowy look.

Step 1:

You want to always start with a freshly cleansed/ moisturized face before any makeup application. Apply UD Naked Skin Bronzing Beauty Balm all over the face and down the neck to get an even and blendable finish. This product gives enough tint and glow but also enough to even out the skins complexion as well.

Step 2:

You then want to highlight by using the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette to the tops of your cheek bones, down the bridge of your nose, to the cupids bow, under your brow bone and just above and between your eyebrows.

If you wish to use a liquid formulation to achieve this look, then I love the UD Naked Illuminating Beauty Balm. Apply this to the exact same areas as mentioned above.

Step 3: 

Complete the look with Naked Flushed Palette. Apply the bronzer where the sun would naturally hit your face (to the temples, along the hairline, a dusting on the nose) and finish it off with perfectly flushed cheeks.

Top your lips off with my personal favorite Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 in the colour Tulip.

CURRENT DAILY MAKEUP ROUTINE

UD Primer Potion || UD Naked 2 Palette || Nars Laguna || Sugar Rose || MAC Pink Swoon || MAC Skinfinish Natural || MAC Concealer || MUFE HD Concealer || Revlon Brow Fantasy || Maybelline Mascara

 

 Good Morning!

 

 I haven't done a "current daily makeup routine" in ages so I thought it was time to do one now.

My makeup routine changes so much as I get tired of the same old thing but since the colder months are approaching, my makeup routine will definitely be changing.

Stay tuned for that post!

 

FACE

 

After I have applied my daily moisturizer from washing my face prior, I will then use my MAC concealer in NC20 and apply it to any blemishes and spots that I want to cover. Once I have finished with that, I will apply my Make Up For Ever HD under eye concealer before applying MAC's SkinFinish Natural foundation. If you are using a powder foundation, you will want to add your concealer first before powder, if you do it the other way around then you will look a little funky, TRUST ME it's not a pretty look.

 

Once I have applied my powder foundation, I will then apply Nars Laguna bronzer to the hollows of my cheeks, along the hairline, a dusting down my nose and along the jawline/ neck. I then apply MAC Pink Swoon blush to the apples of my cheeks and a little dusting on my nose. This color is gorgeous and looks amazing on any skin tone.

 

EYES

 

Can I just say that I absolutely love this palette? Urban Decay seriously has one the best eye shadow palettes ever and the formulation of them is amazing also.

 

Before I apply any eye shadow to my lids, I will ALWAYS apply Urban Decay Primer Potion first. This stuff is seriously my holy grail product and I really couldn't live without it. It's legit and works amazing!!

 

I have been wearing:

- The colour "Tease" all over my lid and in the crease of my eye

- The colour "Busted" in the crease and the outer corner of the eye and I also bring this colour down to my lower lash line as well. 

- The colour Foxy and Bootycall {mixing the two together} applied to the inner corner of the eye and brow bone.

- I then add Sephora's Eyeliner in Gri Gri on the top lash line only and then I apply mascara to the top and bottom lashes

 

I then lightly fill in my brows with Revlon's Brow Fantasy in Dark Blonde. I have been using this product for over a year and it's seriously the perfect shade for my brows and it's cheap which is a bonus! I also love the fact that it comes with a tinted brow gel as well to make your brows even more polished.

 

LIPS

 

Now this changes almost everyday as I feel like wearing different colours all the time but since the weather is changing, my lips are becoming a little drier. I have been resorting to Fresh's Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15. It has a slight rose colour which is perfect for everyday wear and it's extremely moisturizing. There are several different colours to choose from but this one is one of my favorites. I want to get a few more colours and will definitely be adding them to my wishlist for Christmas, they are the best!

 

 

If you would like me to do my date night/ weekend makeup routine, then let me know and I will do one!

 

Have a great week everyone and thank you so much for stopping by, xo!!
