For my very last blog post I decided to do a more
natural type of makeup you could easily wear to school or work. I had to dig
deep into my book for this makeup look to find the tricks to a more natural
type of makeup. First thing first, eyebrows. “The eyebrow should look
well-groomed and defined and be of color slightly darker than the hair” (Corson
255). At this point in time my hair was dyed to a mixture of blonde streaks and
dark brown streaks so I decided to have my eyebrows match the dark brown
section of my hair. The book said the eyebrows should be well groomed so I used
pomade because it worked the best for making the eyebrows crisp and well-shaped.
My next step was adding a small about of blush. “Choose colors that complement the lips and provide a matte finish” (Corson 254). I chose a pinkish brown lip color so I decided it would be best to do a very subtle pink blush. I blended it on the apples of my cheeks where faces are naturally more flushed.
My last piece of research was what color eyeliner I should use. When you go to the store there are many colors of eyeliner so I was curious which I should be purchasing. “Those with medium to dark brown hair should use dark brown, or charcoal eyeliner” (Corson 256). Since for this look I wanted elongated winged liner I decided to go with a charcoal colored eyeliner so my eyes would be the center point of this look. In the end I applied a cut crease to my eyes, some foundation, and other products to finish up the look. The final product turned out nice and would work great for a day at school where you want to feel dressed up.

What type of makeup do you find yourself applying most?

Hey Alana! I have to say I find myself applying eye make up more then any other make up. I love how it can make your eyes pop, and you can mach it with what you are wearing that day. I am defiantly a natural make person and that's why I am so happy that I read your blog to see what you had to say about it as well. stay beautiful my friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Elisabeth! Thank you for reading my post. I totally agree that eye makeup is a good way to make your eyes pop. It's super cool that we have the neutral color scheme in common! Have a great day!
DeleteFirst off, to answer your question, I would have to say I find myself filling in my eyebrows the most lately. I also use the pomade dip brow, and ever sense I got it I have been doing my eyebrows on the daily. My favorite kind of makeup look is a natural look so I am glad I found this post to get ideas. I would have to say your eyeshadow looks so nice, I do not think I could ever get it perfect like yours. I think this look really blends nice with your hair and eyes. I hope you do this makeup routine often because it looks good on you.
ReplyDeleteHey Abby! Thank you for reading my post. I too use a dip brow for my eyebrows most days and much like you eyebrows are my top priority when it comes to my daily makeup routine. I hope you have a great day!
DeleteAlana, this look is beautiful and very neutral especially with the nude lip. But i feel with the cut crease and winged liner its not much of a natural eye look. Mastering winged liner AND a cut crease is hard for some girls and for them to want to have a natural quick look for school mornings sometime won't include winged liner and a cut crease. I think the look is so beautiful especially on you and with your eyes but I think I might have labeled it a neutral look or something with light colors because for some girls this is harder than it looks. Just my opinion, still thought it was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Alana! Your makeup looks amazing! I wouldn't say a cut crease is quite practical for everyday but applauds to you. When I wear makeup, I tend to focus on my base, and enhance my natural features through light bronzing. But most importantly, I live for bold brows with an instagram gradient. What products do you use for your base and brows?
