Apply a Face Primer

Lancôme La Base - $42
Smashbox The Original Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer - $36

Place a little foundation on the base of your hand by your thumb (the natural heat will reduce the cakey look once applied to your face). Using a beauty blender or a foundation brush apply evenly all over the face, mainly focusing on the center of your face and spreading outwards.
Use an Eye Primer and spread it on your lids.
My favorites are:
PROOF IT! Waterproof Eyeshadow Primer - $7
Trish McEvoy Eye Base Essentials - $35
Using either a soft liner (one with the ability to smudge) or a powdered shadow, line above the base of your lashes and smudge lightly.
Use an earth tone Eye Shadow on your lid and apply softly and evenly.
Apply Mascara as desired (thin layers or thick)
My Favorites are:
Le Volume De Chanel - $32
Monsieur Big Mascara - $25
KORRES Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara (for natural lovers) - $20
Apply a cream blush (they tend to last longer than powder)
Use a Setting Powder to set the makeup in place.
My Favorites are:
Laura Mercier Invisible Setting Powder - $39
Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder - $3
Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder - $3.99
Use an earth tone NUDE shade lipstick. Matte will last longer. For luster, look add a lip gloss.
My Favorites are:
Fair Skintone - Jubilee by MAC - $19
Medium Skintone - Velvet Teddy by MAC - $19
Dark Skintone - HourGlass Femme Nude Lip Stylo - $32
There you have it, my BEAUTIFUL Ladies. Easy does it. Clean & straightforward look. No Stress & Still Impress!
Heartily,
