Today I want to show you a makeup look that I
have enjoyed doing this summer when I do wear make-up. I am sure it would also work in winter time but
it is now one of my favorite for the summer. I love it because it is very
versatile in the sense that with the exact same products you can easily adapt
it to be natural or
more sophisticated.
more sophisticated.
How did I do?
1/ I used a thin layer of my Alpha H
SPF 50 moisturizer. I always use a SPF 50 to moisturize my face in summer
time. If you want to know why I choose so; please click

2/ I applied a small amount of my
foundation with a sponge. The dream matte mousse foundation is the only one I
apply with a sponge. That is also one of the rare foundation that match my
skin complexion.
3/I used my fingers to apply a light
pink creamy eye shadow on my entire lid. Creamy eye shadows are perfect for the
summer as it last all day. As the eye shadow is lighter than my
skin, adding mascara on my lashes is enough to make my eyes look bigger and well
defined. There is no need of an eyeliner here to
get a good impact.
4/I applied 2 layers of my favorite long
lasting mascara.
5/I applied a nude lipstick from the
bullet. It is a brown color with some pink undertone. It is a perfect
nude lipstick on me.
6/I brushed my eyebrows and lightly filled them in with a
brown/black pencil . I said lightly because I do not like when the eye brows
are so defined that you can see the trace of the pencil. And with the other
side of the pen (the wax) I was able to stick them in place
7/I applied a small amount of blush
focusing on the apple of my cheeks. The color is a bright pink and is really
pigmented; so when I say that I applied a small amount; I mean it. Don’t be
afraid of this color, it looks very beautiful on very dark or very light skin.
Here are some changes I would have
done for a more sophisticated look:
-Use a black eyeliner on top of my
lids to get more impact on the eyes and make them look bigger. To avoid a harsh
look use a pencil instead of a pen.
-Use more blush on the cheeks but
also go higher on the cheekbones.
I love this look for its
versatility. I can wear it for day time or night time; for work, dinner or a wedding.
To perfect your final look you just have to pick the appropriate accessories:
hair accessories, jewelry, outfit, nail color, hair style shoes and purse…
