LIKE TO KNOW IT

There are few things I love more in this world than neutral full glam makeup, and this look is one of my best yet. Inspired by one of Makeup x Kelli Anne’s master classes, it’s a more elevated, dramatic version of my everyday glam.

{FACE} 

For a lit-from-within glow, I applied the Saie Glowy Super Gel in ‘Starglow,’ a champagne shade.

The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation and Concealer formulas embody the natural glam look because they provide great coverage without looking heavy at all. I wear shades ‘230’ and ’24,’ respectively.

Finally, I set my undereyes with the e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Setting Powder in ‘Light Pink.’ I love the subtle luminosity and brightness that it provides.

{CHEEKS} 

To achieve a bronzed yet sculpted effect, I used the Makeup By Mario Soft Sculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer in ‘Medium Dark’ and the Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Crème Contour and Powder Bronzer Duo in ‘She’s Sculpted.’

I didn’t want the blush to be too overpowering, so I opted for two soft, rosy pink shades. I started with the Makeup By Mario Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil in ‘Barely Blushing’ and then added the Milani Baked Blush in ‘Petal Primavera.’ Both formulas are luminous, so I skipped highlighter.

{EYES} 

The Makeup By Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette was key for this look. I used the lighter nude shades in the top row as a base, and then I used one of the darker brow shades in the middle row to deepen the outer corner of my eye.

For a refined, glossy glitter, I pressed the Urban Decay 24/7 Moondust Eyeshadow in ‘Space Cowboy’ all over my lids.

Using the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner in ‘Blackest Black,’ I lined my eyes, creating a thin wing. I then used the black shadow from the Makeup By Mario palette to smoke out the liner as well as my lower lash line.

For mascara, I used the L’Oréal Lash Paradise Mascara in ‘Blackest Black,’ and for my brows, I used the e.l.f. Cosmetics Brow Wow in ‘Deep Brown.’

{LIPS} 

To complete this look, I lined my lips with one of my favorite products: the Make Up For Ever Lip Liner in ‘Anywhere Caffeine.’ It’s a warm brown shade that lasts so long.

On top, I added the Patrick Ta Major Glow Lip Shine in ‘She’s An Influencer,’ a warm, shimmery pinky bronze.
