Barely there Makeup

Hey readers,

  Today I had an interview for a job that unfortunately I won't get because I'm only available to work in the summer and they needed someone to start right away :(. Sad for me, but good for you guys because I am going to show you my look and focus on my beauty routine for that barely there makeup I use as an everyday or occasions like interviews. Below is the picture of the outfit and a selfie (sorry it had to be a selfie I was in a bit of a rush). 

As for what I do, bellow are the products I use and the steps, still I'm going to give a little briefing on the steps. 1) I use concealer in my eyes as a primer and to cover blemishes. 2) I use the CC cream (I already presented this product on my previous post) as foundation. 3) I apply powder with a brush just to take away a bit of the shine a make everything look even (the one I use is from Clinique). 4) This is a pallet my mom got me for christmas so any pallet of colors will do; I choose barely there colors just to give it a little bit of color. In this step I included blush because its from the same pallet, but here bronzer and any color of blush will do. *) I forgot the picture but I used black pencil eye liner on the half of the bottom eye lid. 5) Mascara on both upper and lower lashes. 6) Finally, lipstick.




In brief, these are the steps I use. You can mix and match these steps anyway you like and use any colors you want. For me the good things about this routine is that it can become a day to night look with very little effort. And before I forget, I should have used a bit more of blush and lipstick, but I was in a rush. Hope this posts help some of you out there!

Spring/Summer Colors 2014

Hello,

Today I want to talk about the colors for Spring/Summer 2014. For every season the colors change; well not so much change as they look for different shades and mixes of the primary colors. This season I am loving every single color!! The top 10 colors are:

            1. Dazzling Blue
            2. Violet Tulip
            3. Radiant Orchid 
            4. Celosia Orange 
            5. Freesia
            6. Cayenne 
            7. Placid Blue
            8. Paloma
            9. Sand 
            10. Hemlock 
Out of all the colors, my favorite has to be the Radiant Orchid. Since my favorite color is purple and I tend to go for pinks, I find that this color is the perfect combination of both! Sephora decided that this was going to be the color of the year, so they came up with a makeup line strictly  for Radiant Orchid. The result: A GORGEOUS COLOR! I'm dying to go to the store and try on the lipstick; I do hope it is still in stores because it sold out online :(. Still it is a color I think would make any girl/women feel feminine and fresh. If I do get the chance to try it on or buy it I'll let you know. Underneath is the picture of the lipstick and the eye pallet! Enjoy :)
