Great Summer look

By CCee · July 8, 2009 · 12 Comments · 159 Views

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd come back with an amazing (and easy) summer look for you ladies. I hope this makes my absence of the last few months a little better ;) .

Face:
I've been soooo busy, that the first day I was free, I had I did a complete face for you. I'm starting to get more and more freckles because of the sun, which I love and hate at the same time. I love how it makes me look younger for some reason, but also it makes my skin look less flawless, which I don't love.

I started by cleaning my face using Shiseido - Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam followed by Shiseido - Daily Moisture Protection. I then used my favourite eyecream ever, it's by Elizabeth Arden and is called Prevage - Eye Anti-aging Moisturizing Treatment. I used Smashbox - Illuminating Serum to give my complexion more of a glow. This serum can't be bought seperately, they do however still sell it it the Smashbox - Master's Class Vol. 4 Rescue Beauty on the Sephora website. To make my eyes look more awake I used Smashbox - Photo Op Under Eye Brightner.

I used the Smashbox - Primer Light as a primer because it's the middle of summer here and it's sooo warm outside that every bit of makeup disappears if I don't use the Light primer.

To contour my face I used Baked Fusion Soft Lights by Smasbox, which is a Twice baked bronzer that looks amazing on my skin, on the apples I used a very light pink blush also by Smashbox called Soft Lights.

Eyes:

To prime my eyes I used Urban Decay - Eye Shadow Primer Potion. Urban Decay is bringing out a lot of primers right now

 

On my eyes I used a palette also by Urban Decay called Get Baked. This palette contains four eyeshadows (Twice Baked, Half Baked, Flipside and Baked) there is a mini 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the colour Bourbon and a mini Sin primer

I already primed my eyes with the normal Primer Potion by Urban Decay because I didn't want my eyes to be overly shimmery. On the inside corner of my eyelid I used Baked which is the lighter golden colour. I used this because this adds a sparkle to the inner eyecorner, this eyeshadow was applied with the Urban Decay - Wonder Brush. On the middle of the eyelid I placed Half Baked with the Urban Decay - Shadow Brush. I pressed the colour in to get this colour depth, I then blended the colours using a little smudging movement. On the outer corner I placed Twice Baked in a < shape with the Urban Decay - Wonder Brush and blended it with the Urban Decay - Crease Brush. To ensure the top was blended perfectly I used Smashbox - Vanilla matte eyeshadow with the Smashbox - Shadow Brush which is a very fluffy brush that eases the blending.

On the lower lashline I used the Twice Baked shadow with a Wonder Brush that I moistened with Make Up For Ever - Mix and Fix Spray because this means the eyeshadow won't budge the entire day. I applied the Twice Baked only on the outer corner. I then cleaned the brush and dried most of the water off on a paper towel and wetted it again with the Fixer Spray and made a paste with the Flipside shadow and applied this to the inner half of the lower lashline. I then let it dry and blended it with the Twice Baked and a little more Flipside.

On my waterlines I used the Bourbon and I also used this on the outer third of my top lashline. As a mascara I used Dior - Diorshow Iconic.


Lips:
On my lips I'm wearing Urban Decay - Rush. This colour is almost my real lipcolour and is therefor the perfect colour for my lips.

Nails:
The nailpolish I'm wearing is Custom Kicks by China Glaze. This colour is a bright blue but it also has a little warmth that you don't see on the pictures, but it real life it has a minimal gold shimmer in it that's amazing. The only downside of this polish is that it chips very very quickly (I've never had this problem with China Glaze polishes, so maybe it's a fluke), and also for some reason I also had trouble with the brush (it was not filled with polish or overfilled with polish) and the polish bubbled. So the colour is jawdroppingly beautiful but the application is IELGH.
