... Winter Go - To Makeup Look ...
Ever since I
can remember myself, I have always been interested in makeup and fashion. Yes, I
was one of the classic little girls snooping around my mums’ makeup bag and closet-
FYI I still to this day share closets with my mum and I love it!
The reason I love
makeup is because of its endless potential. It can change the way you look or
enhance the features of your face, it can lift your mood up or make you really
mad if you fail at it, it can change somebody’s life.
Do I think it’s
necessary for everyone? Definitely not.
Do I think it’s
fun anyway, gives you the option to experiment, go crazy and change your look while
still being able to go back to your natural look at night? Hell, yeah and that’s
why I love it!
This post is
all about that. This is a step by step guide on how to achieve this makeup look.
It has been my favorite for the month of January and February because it adds a
bit of color to every outfit and makes me start the day a little happier.
Plus, it’s so
gloomy this time of the year and I think all of us kind of fall in a rut, so it’s
good to try and lift our spirits up a bit and get unstuck.
If you want
to know how I did this look keep reading!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first
step to a good base for you to start building your look is a healthy and moisturized
face. Make sure you start with a clean face and put on your moisturizer 5-10
min before you put on your foundation.
Next is the
base. Choose a foundation that suits your skin consistency and pigmentation. My
face gets really dry this time of year, so I try to go for a more “wet” look to
make my skin look healthier. I put the foundation from the middle part towards
the outer part of my face, that way I have the best results without putting a
lot of product on my face and making the look heavy.
Continue with
concealer half to one tone lighter that your foundation and put it under your
eye area in a “V” shape. Blend in and finish the base with a little powder to mattify
and secure the base.
Now you need
to start giving some dimension to your face and that were bronzing powder comes
in. With a brush place a small amount of bronzing powder to the areas that are
naturally shadowed aka right under your cheekbones, on your temples and under
the jaw.
Blend that in
very well and make sure that there are no distinctive lines. Proceed with blush
to give some of that healthy winter glow to your cheeks.
Next for me
is brows. If your brows are quite defined and you are happy with the way they
look skip this part, but my ones are in serious need of help and I have to fill
them in every time I do my makeup or else I look like I have no brows. Charming,
I know!
Next on the
list is eyeshadows. Place the first color in the lid right until the browbone.
With the second color, take a small angled brush and place the colour in the
outer corner of the eye and give your eye a cat look by making a corner, from the
end of the outer part of your eye, going up and to the middle part of the lid.
For the lighter
color, with a small brush you put it in the inner corner of your
eye and on the browbone.
Take the first color again with a blending brush and
blend the eyeshadows together.
If you want a
more intense look add some eyeliner and finish with curling the lashes and
adding mascara.
For the lips I
opted for a natural pinky color. I didn’t go for a matte option because I think
the glossy version looks a bit healthier and suits the look more for this time
of the year.
And there you
have it! This is the final makeup look!
I really hope
you liked it and as always if you do decide to re-create the look tag me on Instagram
or twitter I would love to see what you have done!
