My Go-To Weekend Look

Hello everyone and welcome to today's post. For me the weekend is my time to run some errands I didn't get to in the week. It's also a time for me to catch my breath from the week and relax some. I tend to lean for a more casual outfit - jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers - and slow down my normally hectic pace.

And when it comes to my makeup I stick to the basics - foundation, concealer, powder, etc. But when it comes to my eye look I've found myself reaching for my *Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette and doing one of the easiest eye shadow looks I've ever done. Honestly, I only use 5 shadows, some gel liner, a little mascara and I'm out the door.

On the weekend I'm all about products that will control shine and give me a matte finish that lasts all day. Which is why after I've cleansed and moisturized my face I prime my face with the *L'Oreal Matte Lock Primer. Then I blend the *L'Oreal Pro Matte Foundation all over my face with my *Sigma F80 brush. I love using this brush for my foundation because it has a flat top with dense, soft fibers that makes even the thickest foundation blend like a dream. And who doesn't want that?

For concealer I use my trusty *Maybelline Fit Me Concealer and I put in the usual places - under my eyes, down the bridge of my nose, on my chin and forehead. Then I set everything with my *Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder. I have been loving this powder recently because it has a nice finish and it holds up through the day really well. 

Then it's time for one of my favorite combos - bronzer and blush. For bronzer and blush I'm still sticking with my current favorites, the Benefit Hoola Bronzer and the Doll 10 Hydragel Cream Blush. I swear by these two products because both the Hoola Bronzer and the Doll 10 Cream Blush give a natural, long-wearing look to the face. While I do apply the bronzer with a brush, I stick to what God gave me and use my finger tips to blend the blush into the apples of my cheeks.

Once all of this has been laid down then the face is done and it's time for the eyes.  

As I said earlier this is the one of the easiest eye looks I've ever done and I love doing it when I'm in a hurry because it takes about 5 minutes to do. If you're interested in recreating my Weekend Makeup Look just keep reading >>>>

These are the products I used:  

*Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette,  

*NYX HD Finishing Powder 

*NYX Eyeshadow Base,

*Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz  

*Maybelline Precise Brow Mascara

*L'Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara

*L'Oreal Infallible Gel Liner 

Step 1 - After you've primed your lid with your favorite primer take a flat, stiff brush (like the *Mac 239) and sweep Caramelized all over your lid.

Step 2 - Then with a blending brush (such as the *Sigma E25) lightly blend a mix of Puree and Summer Yum into the crease and outer V of the eye. These two colors are perfect to use for transition shades as well as blending out any harsh lines. Because, girl, the last thing you need is harsh lines.

Step 3 - Finally, with a domed-shaped brush (like the *Makeup Geek Outer V brush) apply White Peach above the crease under the brow bone. Doing this will instantly highlight your brow and help to soften your transition shades even more. Basically, you're applying the colors from darkest to lightest. For the last shadow, use your ring finger and lightly pat Luscious over the lid. This gives the lid a little bit of shine. Then add your favorite gel liner, some mascara, and you're good to go.

HERE'S THE FINISHED LOOK >>>>>

And that's all for now, my lovelies. Until next time . . .

XOXO,

Nellie
