Hi there everyone!
With the fall fast approaching, not only does home decor make a switch but so does makeup! Today I am sharing Autumn eyes and little tutorial on how you too can achieve the same look. Thanks to our friends over at Mary Kay® these ready to wear looks can be achieved by just about anyone. I admit, I get stuck in a makeup rut. I tend to wear the same look every day. In fact, sometimes I think I am stuck in the 80’s. I loved that my new make up actually came with a guide and how to achieve the look. I am not an expert and this was my first go at it. I am sure in time I can only get better at it.
Let’s start with the Emerald smoke look. The day I did this we were going out that evening so it was great to give myself a little makeover. When I tell you, everyone noticed, I mean everyone. Even at the grocery store I was getting compliments from strangers. Made this ole gal feel pretty nice.
I look pretty drab without makeup on. Perhaps, most of us do. The older we get the more our faces and eyes tend to change with the process.
Makeup can really make you come alive again.
For the Emerald Smoke look you will need
Mary Kay®
Cream eye color-Meadow grass
Mineral eye color-Emerald
Mineral eye color Lime
Eye smudger brush
eyeliner in black
Lash Love Lengthening Mascara
Liquid Foundation brush
Cream Blush-Cranberry
Lip liner Cappuccino
True Dimensions Lipstick in Mystic Plum
Translucent Loose Powder
Eye color brush
Cream eye color concealer brush.
Green is one of the hottest shades for fall and I love how it brightens any color eyes!
Taking pictures along the way was a little difficult. But the steps are quite simple and easy to share.
Get the smoldering green gaze that’s sure to entice.
First: Apply Mary Kay® cream eye color in Meadow grass to eye lids as a base to make the color pop and apply Mary Kay® Mineral eye color in Emerald on top. Brush Mary Kay® Mineral eye color in lime to the inner thirds of the eyes with the Mary Kay eye smudger brush for an eye-brightening effect.
Second: Line the base of your top and bottom lash lines with Mary Kay® eyeliner in black and smudge slightly to create a smoky look.
Third: Apply two coats of the Mary Kay® Lash love lengthening mascara in I love black.
Fourth: With your fingertips or a clean Mary Kay® liquid foundation brush blend Mary Kay® cream blush in cranberry onto the apples of your cheeks. Start sheer and build the intensity as you see fit based on your skin tone.
Fifth: Line lips with Mary Kay® lip liner in cappuccino and top off with True dimensions lipstick in Mystic plum directly from the tube.
When wearing a darker lip a lip liner helps perfect their shape.
It looks pretty spunky wouldn’t you say?
Next the
Graphic eye look
There is nothing cooler than a cat-eye look right now.
You will need
Mary Kay®
Mineral eye color-Moonstone
Mineral eye color Driftwood
Eye crease brush
Bold fluid eyeliner
Gel eyeliner with expandable brush applicator
Bronzing powder light medium
Bronzing powder Medium dark
Ultimate mascara Black
True dimensions Pin cherie lipstick
NourisShine Plus Lip gloss- Au Naturel
Makeup finishing spray by Skindinavia
Powder brush
Cheek brush
This look indeed is more natural for me.
However, this look certainly can be for every day.
Again starting a clean face
First: Apply the Mary Kay® Mineral eye color in Moonstone to the eyelids as a base and brush Mary Kay Mineral eye color in the driftwood
to the creases and under the eyes with the Mary Kay® eye crease brush to create depth. I love that everything has a special brush. This was again, all new to me because I don’t use makeup brushes except for applying blush. This experience certainly has changed that. The brushes made a huge difference.
Second: Apply Mary Kay® at play bold fluid eyeliner in blue my mind in a very thin line from the upper inner corners to the middle of the eyes. Apply Mary Kay® gel eyeliner in jet black from the outer corners until it meets the blue eyeliner.
Third: Apply Mary Kay® Bronzing powder in light medium to the cheeks as a highlighter for a bronzed look. Apply Mary Kay® bronzing powder in medium dark to the hairline and under cheekbones to create a really modern contour on the face.
Fourth: Apply two coats of Mary Kay® ultimate mascara in back
Fifth: Apply true dimensions lipstick in Pink Cherie directly from the tube and top off with Mary Kay® NouriShine plus lip gloss in Au Naturel.
And there you have a casual graphic theme going and ready to throw on a few accessories and go out for the day.
Pink lips are the perfect combination for a look that’s fashionable and playful.
