Teen Beauty

When it comes to making over these beauties "less is more!" I wanted a pretty, natural, soft look. I love make-up and what girl doesn't love getting made up ... there is no need to over do it. Make-up is a great way to enhance your natural beauty and features! Now, I'm not saying never do a heavier look, because there is a time and place smokey eyes are hot and great for date night, parties, girls night out... photoshoots, weddings, special events, film and television of course you've got to play it up!

You want this look?!?? Well... here is what I did to create it!

Step 1: Jane Iredale Smooth Affair Primer and Brightener. I applied with a foundation brush all over in a circular motion to prime and smooth the skin. Primers are amazing at controlling oil, minimizing the pores, and keeping your make-up in place. I especially love JI's because it is the purist of them all, no harsh chemicals, dyes, fragrance, or parabens! It is truly a "skincare" make-up! It is an anti-aging primer, with antioxidants!

Step 2: I used Make-up Forever Matte Velvet foundation and mixed it with Nars Orgasm Illuminator. Matte Velvet goes on very smooth, has great coverage, and looks natural after applying. I love to mix my foundations with Nars to create an amazing "illuminating" and radiant glow! If you are taking pics its's gorgeous and captures light, naturally giving you a perfect highlight! I used a round foundation brush, an applied in circular motions as well, this will evenly smooth the foundation, giving you a more flawless appearance.

Step 3: I set the look with just a touch of powder, not heavy at all! I used Jane Iredale pure pressed in golden glow, with a large powder brush. Once again, I love it because it's breathable, pure and clean. Great for your skin's health.

Step 4: Time for "HAC"... highlighting and contouring! I used a contouring chisel brush with Jane Iredale So Bronze 1 to contour. I used NYX High Definition Photo Concealer Wand for highlighting and concealing. I also used Jane Iredale Pearl Powder for extra pop of highlight and to set the look. For the cheeks... I used Nars Orgasm blush, with a small blush brush, applied on the apple of the cheeks. Here is a diagram to help with HAC and blush!

Step 5: Eyes! I first applied L.A. Splash Enlightened Eye Primer to hold color pigment, shadow and to prevent creasing. Colors I used for eye: JI's sweet spot (triple pack), dreamy pink in crease, oyster for brightening under brow, in the inner corner, and applied a touch under the eye to brighten. I only used liner on the top lid, very thin on the lash line to enhance lashes. I used Jordana Fabu Liner, it is an awesome long wearing liquid liner in the form of a felt pen. Super easy to apply, and mess free! For the lashes, no false lashes were needed I used Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara. I filled in the brows just a little and naturally with JI taupe pencil.

Step 6: Lips! Jane Iredale Rikki Pure Moist Lipstick and Pink Candy Lipgloss. I didn't use lip liner on the girls, however if you love lip liner I would apply after lipstick to enhance lips. I like JI's Rose, or Nude.

Ta-Da!! Look accomplished ;) Here are the product pics...
