Sorry I haven’t posted in forever!! Things got really hectic with school, my boyfriend and I moved to a new apartment, excuses, excuses, etc.

But I’m back now, so let’s get right back into it with a crazy look. I was bored today and instead of studying for finals (yes, finals) I did this instead:

I tried to go for a really flawless face for this bridal look – perfect skin with pink lips.  This would work best for spring/summer daytime weddings. I’m going to do a more evening appropriate look next in this series!

*Tip: For a really flawless face you need five things: a great concealer, a medium to full coverage foundation, a highlighter, a blush, and a bronzer to contour with.

~ Conceal any dark circles and blemishes with the concealer.

~ Blend the foundation evenly over the entire face.

~ Again, conceal any blemishes that still may be showing through.

~ Apply blush to the apples of the cheeks sweeping a little back towards the hairline.

~ Contour the face in a “3″ shape – starting at the forehead just above the temples, bringing it down under the cheek bones, and finally back towards the ear and down to the jawline.

~ Finish with a light highlighter on the tops of the cheekbones, and any other place you would like to be highlighted (tip of the nose, cupids bow, above the eyebrows, and chin).

This look is not necessarily for everyday wear!

Sorry I’ve been completely MIA lately! It’s exam week where I go to school.

So, to jump right back in, here’s my sister! My family came to visit over Easter break and I did her makeup. She’s so gorgeous already all I focused on was giving her nice glowing skin and an earthy green eye look.
