Happy Friday, everyone!
I’m here with a blast from the past… why? I have got a wedding to go to this weekend and I needed a refresher course in getting that dewey, fresh-faced look that I LOVE. Sydney to the rescue! This look is amazing on anyone, and I plan to WORK IT, SISTA~! – Bobbi
I’ve gotten requests in the past for demonstrating my daily make-up routine. Heaven knows why, ’cause most of the time I try and go for the “I’m not wearing any” look. Guess I fooled, oh … NO ONE. But that’s OK. Cause today I’m spilling my guts and showing you my 6 step daily routine for natural looking beautification. Great on its own … or as a base for more dramatic looks.
Step 1. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. This is key for getting that Dewy Glow. Personally, I don’t have a favorite facial lotion … sometimes I even use body lotion {eek! BAD SYDNEY}, but the point is to just moisturize. Then, I like to use a little foundation primer {I use bareMinerals Prime Time} which LITERALLY goes on like silk and doesn’t leave you looking oily or overly shiny. Just evenly toned and dewy. And then I like to smother my lips in the super moisturizing {but with a pretty pink color} Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine. Or sometimes just good ol’ Vaseline. So anything goes.
Step 2. Brush on a little foundation and/or cover up. I like using Bare Minerals or Maybelline FIT. But most people are probably fancier than me, so go ahead and use your Laura Mercier. I shop at Walmart.
Step 3. To prevent ourselves from looking dead, next step is to liven it up with a bit of color. I use a combination of powdered bronzer {on my forehead, temples and cheeks} and gel blush {for those apples}. I normally get the knock-off brand of bronzer … they all look the same in my opinion. But I really like Maybelline’s Dream Mouse Blush in #20 Peach Satin. Goes on like butter. And keeps up with that dewy glow we were going for in step 1.
Step 4. is simple. I lightly pencil in my eyebrows and then use a little lipgloss to tame and shape them. Those things can be caterpillars.Step 5. Highlighter. I know there are other products out there that are SPECIFICALLY for highlighting, but I just use Sephora’s Eyeshadow in Aspen Summit. It’s multipurpose. You’ll pat this on with your finger into the inner rims of your eyes focusing especially on the area nearest your tear-ducts. This will just brighten up your eyes a bit and make you look wide-awake. Even if you’re faking it. Step 6. Last one. Just a few brushes of mascara on the top lashes only. I swear I change my mascara preferences every week. {Don’t they come out with a new one every week?} But right now I’m loving on Revlon’s 3D Extreme Mascara. Waterproof of course. Because I’m pregnant. And voila! You’re done. Subtle and natural. Like you’re definitely born with it; and no it’s not Maybelline. Even though it totally is.
Cheers natural beauties!
