Bridal Makeup How-To

9:11 PM Unknown 105 Comments


So this weekend I had the opportunity to fly to Ohio for a very special wedding.  Kate Boyle [and her entire family] have been super close friends for a long time, and I couldn't have been more excited to celebrate her wedding weekend!  Not only that butttttt I also had the pleasure of painting her gorgeous face with makeup on the big day.  #PRESSURE - YES, lots of pressure.  I mean this is only one of the biggest days of a girls life.  These pics will live on in photo albums, videos, and now instagram foreverrrrrrrrrr.  

Kate was stunning to begin with, so honestly it wasn't difficult to enhance her gorgeous features - but I had so much fun doing it.  Here's a breakdown of what I used.  Think of it as my own lil "paint by numbers." LOL

* SCROLL TO THE END OF EACH SECTION TO SHOP THE PRODUCTS*



SKIN:


1:  Make Up For Ever HD Foundation | 125


This is a great full coverage foundation that works well on all skin types.  I used a beauty blender and applied it all over her face and down her neck.

2.  NARS Concealer | Custard


This is my favorite under eye concealer.  It's got a good amount of moisture to it, so it won't dry out your under eye area and it's very full coverage so it can tackle the darkest of circles.  

3. Physicians Formula Bronze Booster | Medium to Dark


My go-to bronzer.  Love this stuff, and you can purchase it at your local drug store usually.   I applied it around the edges of her face, under her cheekbones and down the sides of her nose as a contour.  

4. Mac Peachykeen Blush


Whenever I want to add just a hint of a peachy glow, this is one of the first blushes I go to.  Peachykeen works with most skin types because it's not a harsh peach, but more of a pinky peach.  I love the subtle color that it adds to the balls of her cheeks. 

*SHOP THE PRODUCTS*

 

EYES:


1: Stila Metallic Gilded Gold Pot


This is my latest obsession.  I love this magnificent metals line so much I am going to have to do a video/tutorial featuring them specifically.  I applied the sparkle to the lid of her eye, being careful not to carry it up into the crease. 

2.  Mac Eyeshadow in Mulch


In her crease I used Mac shadow in Mulch.  This is one of those colors I always have with me because it's a really great neutral brown.  It's not too warm toned, and not too cool toned - so it works with almost any color you pair it with.  It also has a nice sheen to it, it's not glittery at all, more of a soft shimmer.   I also took a bit of this shadow and applied it just underneath her lower lash line, creating a very soft smokey look. 

3.  Mac Eyeshadow in Motif


Okay, so this color by Mac is the single most used item in my makeup arsenal.  In the pod, this color appears to be yellowish/orangey.  When you apply it, it's very different.  This is the color I use to blend all the other layers on the eye.  I start applying Motif just below my brow, and then blend it down on top of whatever color is in my crease.  Basically it warms everything up and adds a layer of iridescent almost pinkish sheen to your shadow.  

4.  L'oreal Voluminous Smoldering Liner


When it came to liner, I didn't want Kate to have a harsh line, so I went with L'oreal Voluminous Smouldering liner - something I could smudge out and soften a bit.  

5.  Lashes



I started with a couple layers of L'oreal Voluminous mascara in blackest black.  Kate's lashes were so long already so I didn't want to add anything too crazy to them, but I did want a bit more volume towards the ends so I went with my fav drug store lashes by Kiss.  They're made of 100% human hair so they won't give you that plastic-y look and they're fairly easy to apply. 

*SHOP THE PRODUCTS*

LIPS:


MAC liner in Oak | Smashbox Nylon Nude Lipstick



I mean does this girl have gorgeous lips or what?!?!  GAHHHH they're like the perfect shape already.  I simply lined them and then applied the lipstick and called it a day!

Mazel to the beautiful bride and groom!

The Perfect Pool Day

11:58 PM Unknown 0 Comments



So apparently Los Angeles hasn't gotten the memo yet that it's fall, and I'm not complaining one bit. These past few afternoons have been ESPECIALLY scorching so I thought I'd spend my #SundayFunday poolside.   Of course, in LA a "pool party" doesn't mean flip flops and an oversized bathing suit cover up... I mean, I have learned something in my 6 months here... so here's my OOTD!


My Louis Vuitton Neverfull is one of the best gifts I've ever gotten.  This purse doubles as my work bag, makeup bag, computer bag, carry on and now pool tote!   Let's take a closer look at the outfit itself... 


This sheer top is my latest obsession.  I snagged it from Target a couple of weeks back and have already styled it a bunch of different ways.  Today obviously I went with a more casual look, pairing it with my bathing suit [from Victoria's Secret] and some old jean cutoffs.   My fav tassel pendant necklace from Ellie's Sparkes added just the right touch of color.  


These ADOOOOORABLE shoes, from CICIHOT.COM, are the latest addition to my collection and I couldn't be happier with them.   I love rocking nude heels all year round, but especially when I still have my summer tan goin, I feel like the color pops even more! :) The metallic heel is what really takes these shoes to the next level - they're neutral and casual, but still add a ton of glam.  #LOVE

Gahhhh I am obsessing over these A Marmer necklaces for realzzzzz!


There's something empowering about wearing a phrase like "I overcome" around your neck, ya know?  -And the diamond "..." detailing doesn't hurt either. :)  Anyway, remember that you have until MONDAY to shop these deals! :) 

Okay onto my outfit deets.  This may be one of my fav #EXTRAhotdeals looks to date! I stumbled upon this skirt at Foreign Exchange and fell in looooove with it!  The floral watercolor print is so soft and feminine... Mix that with the edgy hi/low cut of the skirt and you've got perfection! 


I paired it with a fitted crop top (LOVE the "V" detailing along the bottom of it) and nude pumps to top it off.   The top was another find at Foreign Exchange and was on sale 2 for 1, so I snagged it in a coral color as well! #SCORE

Hello friends! :)  Did ya catch this week's #EXTRAhotdeals?  I'm still obsessing over "The Selfie" from last week, and I've now added this incredible skin mask to my obsession list - you should too!  Check out the video below for all the deets!

*CLICK HERE to shop these sales and remember you have until MONDAY!*


Now let's talk this fun lil outfit! 


These shorts I got for a steal... you're not gonna believe this but they were literally $9.99 at Zara last week.  #SCORE!  I paired them with one of my "ol faithful" black tops with a little bunching detail on the sleeves, and these super comfy wedges. 


My makeup artist Lyndsay Zavitz tried a new look on me today - we went for a reeeeeally smoked out eye with a berry lip.  This is definitely darker than I usually go for Extra but I LOVE how it came out!  


Now obviously on set I don't need to be carryin' a purse around with me but as soon as I saw this bag I knew it'd be the perfect accessory to complete this look.  Something about the subtle pink with the bright green pattern makes me fall in loooooove!  

This bag is avail until MONDAY on Stylemined.com... don't let this beauty pass ya by, it's a stunner.
