Get ready with me

I've decided to let you guys tag along while I got ready today...yah I know this is probably the most exciting thing that has happened to you today ;)!!

Amazing what a little bit of makeup can do right! This was super quick and easy, check it out...

 1. I started off with a clean dry face. Always ALWAYS wash and take care of you face, if you dont your makeup will not look as good as it could. 
2. First I applied the Primer (dont even get me started on the importance of a primer that in itself is a whole other post) apply it to your T zone and spread outwards. Let that sit for a few minutes, this is where I would normally brush my teeth or blow dry my hair. Apply your foundation using a brush.
3. Apply your concealer. I am doing it after foundation because I had no blemishes to cover. If you do then apply it on the blemish then apply your foundation. I am going to be using the concealer as a highlighter as well. Apply under eye area and use any excess on bridge of nose and above the arches of your eye brows. Then use Hazelnut mineral eye shadow as your contour color (the one with a heart). Apply below your cheek bone, on your temples and on your jaw line and blend into each other like the number 3. Then apply contour on the sides of the bridge of your nose and down to the tip and blend downwards. Take the excess powder and apply directly under your bottom lip. The word of the day is, BLEND BLEND BLEND!
4. Apply blush to cheek bones and sweep outwards along the cheekbone. Apply highlighting powder to tops of cheek bones and cupids bow (upper lip).
5&6 Fill in those brows. SO important, brows frame the face.
7. I used Truffle (top color) and Lavender Fog mineral eye colors, Ultimate mascara and liquid eyeliner. 
8. Using a damp cream eye shadow brush apply truffle to bottom of eyelid to crease and blend out using Lavender Fog. Tight line upper lid using liquid eyeliner and apply liner to bottom corner of water lines. Then take a little of the Truffle color and line bottom lashes. Curl and apply Ultimate Mascara to top and bottom lashes.
9. Tada and you're done!

Natural Beauty Mary Kay Set by jennyanne84 featuring brown eye makeup

 This is my little sister Angie, isn't she purty!!! She was over yesterday and surprised me by asking if I could do her makeup....ummm let  me think....YAH! Angie is a already a pro at applying her makeup and always looks amazing so it meant a lot when she asked if I could find a new "natural" look for her. Angie and I are both big fans of a smoky eye with eyeliner so this was definitely a step in a different direction. The lighting in my house is HORRIBLE so you may not be able to tell a lot but I still managed to smoke out the corners of her eyes but in a more natural way.

The key to any "smokey" or any applied eyeshadow is to BLEND!

* I applied the lighter color (Moonstone) to her whole lid, lash line to brow bone. 
*From the center of her eye lash line to crease I applied  the medium shade (Chocolate Kiss). Just pack it on there don't worry about being neat.
*Then take your strongest color (Copper Glow) and put it on the outer corner of your eye and up into your crease.
* Wipe off your crease brush so there is no color on it and start blending out your crease and lash line. Think a backwards C motion, you will be going about half way across your eye. You want to buff it out so there are no harsh lines and so it goes from soft and light at your inner to strong and darker on your outer corner. 
* Take you smudge brush and dab  little of the Copper Glow on it and run it along your bottom lashes. Start on the outer corner of you eye and blend it into you inner corner. It will be strongest on the outer corner and almost nothing on the inner. 
*Curl lashes and apply mascara to top and bottom.

The rest of her face was primer, foundation, blush blended from apples of cheeks down into cheek hallow, high lightening powder on top of cheek bones and cupids bow (upper lip), Natural lip liner with a little of True Dimensions Color Me Coral lip stick.
