MY MAKE UP ROUTINE

To be honest, I feel like this is long overdue. My makeup routine isn’t an everyday lifestyle, to be honest people who have met me individually would admit to you that I don’t have all this glam look on most of the time, but in situations when I do it goes down like this, would write below each picture the steps taken ..and would list the prices of each item at the end of the post 
get a brow brush, brush off your brows to set, but before that you may want to get something to shed off extra hair hanging off then draw your brow shape 

Get a brow filler, in this case I’m using the Tara brow fillers which is amazing then brush it to give it a more natural look
get a light foundation and a brow defining brush and give it the perfect shape and dust it off with a little powder

get an eyeshadow primar, which will help your eyeshadow set properly
get your eyeshadow brush and use a darker shadow for the upper crease of your eyes
touch it up with a brown and then afterwards a little purple which I got from Tara at the Pandora event 
Then I apply my Mary Kay primar and let it dry up for at least five minutes before applying my foundation. you may choose to go on and apply your powder but if you want to contour below is a diagram 
facial contour lately has been the deal it defines your face and make it a bit slim lines while arching up your cheek bones I use a Lighter black opal concealer below my eye line and define the edges of my face and my nose with a more market concealer and you can see the difference 
then I apply my Zaron Eyeliner which isn’t liquid 
then next my eye pencil and mascara you can realize I added more to the eyeshadow to make it pop
I go on to apply my bronze pink blush I got from Konga after a certain delivery of a product 
Then I apply my eyelash which is for those of us who barely have any 
to finish up my look I apply my Tara pink lipgloss to my lined lips 
and this is the final look or finsihed look

    Great post …

    Grace as a former/on very rare occasions still model I knew what you looked like unmasked and you look equally as Beautiful either way! If most girls had your Natural inner/physical Beauty they would be Thrilled … for a week … then they/myself would start picking out whatever we would individually perceive as the weakest areas. But honestly you look Glam either way, Seriously!

    We compare ourselves to celebrities, models or bloggers, women around us and we're by nature way too hard on our own self while not even scrutinizing half other girls imperfections unless they are a complete mess, super glam or are attracting just too much attention. 😉

    You're a perfectionist I've noticed that and how much you've stepped up your photography + the new pieces you pick are Great choices along with your personal fab retro style. *hey I do get paid for my eye to detail*

    I'm just the opposite … Lazy! Like my hair, my makeup usually consists of baby oil/coco/shay butter, always a good SPF, mascara, eyeliner, color on my lids, blush and lip gloss to the office daily … foundation and everything else only when doing a shoot. Takes me about 3 min. and Trust me my face/skin is full of Imperfections … I just don't care.

    Not saying you should use less products … only saying I've seen umpteen of the prettiest girls modeling w/o MU and 90% don't have your natural looks! 😉 #fact

    You have the Talent/Eye to become a MUA … I've worked with some of the best and still think you're close to Jackie Aina (formally Jackie O makeup on point) on YouTube and while I've never worked with her, I consider her one of if not the best! That's a Huge Compliment to you 🙂

    Thanks for sharing! Be Safe and Well! Enjoy a Restful Weekend 🙂
