Today the weather has been rather dull so i thought i'd rope a friend into a make-over to cheer us up. During the day, either going to work or meeting friends a 'natural' make-up look is great to master. You look healthy and glowing without looking like your caked in make-up. Even though the sun isn't bright, there is no reason why your face shouldn't be so.
I've taken before and after shots so you can see how minimal make-up can make a real difference.
To create Poppy's look i started off by using Laura Mercier's Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer in Natural Radiance (the link for this is available in my 'Tinted Moisturizer' post). I applied this with a simple foundation brush and gently worked this into her face. After this i applied Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage in SC3. I applied this under the eyes and on any blemishes. I then gently added NARS Laguna Stick (link in the 'Be Bronzed' post), i applied this with a foundation brush on the cheek bones to give some definition and shade. I then used the same stick on the eye lids to brighten eyes and give them a bronzed finish. To highlight the brow bones i added the much famed YSL Touche Eclat and added a dab in the inner corner of the eyes. For the final touch i added a thin layer of MAC's False Lashes which gives the lashes a longer and thicker look without being 'too much'. The whole process took less than 10 mins but the results are great. Poppy is now glowing on this rainy afternoon.
