quick makeup – BOLD BEAUTIFUL LIFE

Our last day! You made it to day 5. How has it been going so far? I hope you have learned a new tip that has helped you embrace your natural beauty more!

For our last day, I want to walk you through how to enhance your facial features. Pair this with the eyes from day 3 and you are ready for any occasion!

1. Start by using a foundation/concealer/powder, or any combination of the three. Level out any redness, dark circles, or blemishes.

2. Use a light powder, highlight, or light eyeshadow and gently sweep over your upper cheekbones and the top of your nose from the bridge to the tip.

3. Working in a line from your upper ear to the corner of your mouth, make small circles with a bronzing powder. I like to use a powder with a matte finish. Stop on your lower cheek.

4. Use the bronzing powder to lightly shadow the sides of your nose and the top of your forehead. Blend everything together with a large powder brush and translucent powder.

5. Apply blush from the center of your cheek up toward your ear.

6. Add a fun lip and you are set!

Thank you for following along with this series! Enjoy your weekend!

Welcome to day 3! Hope it is going well and you are feeling more beautiful already.
Today I’m sharing my most simple eye makeup tips to make the biggest impact. They are meant to enhance and highlight the natural beauty of your eyes. Also, they should take no more than five minutes, so they can be done even when you are running late!

The steps move left to right, starting with the top left, moving to top right, then middle left, middle right, so on…

1. Start with a primer, if you would like to, otherwise just a blank slate.

2. & 3. Use a light eyeshadow and soft brush to highlight under the brow (not the whole eyelid, just the brow bone) and the inner eye.

4. & 5. Softly brush a light layer of eyeshadow on the top of your cheekbone, under the outer corner of your eye.

6. Add eyeliner to your upper lids.

7. Add mascara to the upper lashes. If you want, you can also add a strip of false eyelashes to add a little oomph.

8. Begin shaping your brows. Use a brush to create a line from the outside of your nose to the inside of your eye. Mark it on your brow.

9. Next, create a line from the outside of your nose to the outside of your iris. This is the highest point of your brow.

10. Create a line from the outside of your nose to the outside of your eye. This is where your brow ends.

11. Use a brow kit, powder, pencil, whatever you prefer to fill in and connect the three points.

12. Soften your brows with an empty mascara wand. You can get them at the grocery store, or just get one from a cosmetic counter in the mall. Brush softly from the inner brow towards the outside.

That’s it! Quick, simple, and effective!
