Fresh Spring Makeup Tutorial

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share with you a fresh and simple makeup look to easily brighten up your face. When Spring comes around, all I want to do is clean up, cut back, and streamline my process from my closet to my makeup routine and this is an easy first step. Check out the tutorial below!

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:
foundation | bareMinerals Original Foundation in Medium Beige concealer | bareMinerals Concealer in Summer Bisque eyeshadow primer | Too Faced Shadow Insurance eyeshadow | Urban Decay Naked Palette gel eyeliner | Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner eyeliner pencil | Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil in Freak eyeliner pencil (alternative) | NYX Slide-On Pencil in Green Papaya eyelash curler | Shiseido Eyelash Curler mascara | YSL Mascara Volume Effect Faux Cils in Babydoll eyebrow pencil | Lioele Auto Eyebrow bronzer | Too Faced Milk Chocolate Light/Medium Matte Bronzer blush | Clinique Cheek Pop in Ginger Pop lip gloss | Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Poutrageous
The main elements of this look are definitely in the two types of eyeliner used:
First a wide, black winged line with gel liner was used on the upper lids. I especially like using gel liner like Bobbi Brown's for this because you can get a really matte look which is always classy when you have a thicker line.

On the lower lids I used an Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Freak to add a pop of unexpected brightness.

Just to show a comparison, here's a comparison of UD Freak and NYX Slide-On Liner in Green Papaya. I knew they were similar but didn't realize they were nearly identical until they were side-by-side!

For the rest of the face, I kept everything warm and natural with a peachy cheek and lip using Clinique's Cheek Pop blush in Ginger Pop (my full review & swatches) and Benefit lipgloss in Poutrageous.

Oddly enough, it was a bit tricky to find the right peachy-coral gloss shade for this look since many of my glosses were too pink, but I love how Poutrageous pulled the whole look together without completely covering the shade of my natural lips. A very nice MLBB gloss if I say so myself!

Definitely let me know if you try out this look and instagram, tweet, or facebook a photo because I'd love to see it!
