EASY HOLIDAY MAKEUP LOOK (NATURAL GLOW)

by BLUSHING SNEAKERHEAD - 5:00 PM

The holidays is one of the busiest time of the year — the season filled with parties and get-togethers, shopping sprees and preps here and there. But along that, it is also the most wonderful time of the year. We get to spend time with our loved ones and enjoy each other's companies in the festivities. And as the celebrations pile up, most of us have lesser time to prioritize ourselves. So on today's blog, I am sharing with you my easy, go-to makeup look for the holidays. It is not the typical red lips and smokey-eyed makeup look rather a natural, cheeky glow look. Think blush and subtle nude lips to brighten up the skin. And I know what you're thinking, this post is days too late for the Christmas holiday, but hey! The New Year is still coming up, as well as the year-end parties and gatherings. So if you're into this type of makeup look, please keep on reading.

Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner and Clean & Clear Essentials Moisturizer

TONER AND MOISTURIZER

First, you need to prepare your face using a toner. The toner balances your skin's natural pH, as well as removing the extra dirt left after washing your face. I am using the Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner. Then, you also need to put on some moisturizer to hydrate your face (especially in this cold weather which dries up the face). I am using the Clean & Clear Essentials Moisturizer.

Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser , Revlon ColorStay Foundation in the shade 150 "Buff" and Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Foundation in the shade 01

PRIMER AND FOUNDATION

Time for the makeup! To keep it all in tact throughout the day of fun, you need to use a primer. I am using the Maybelline New York Baby Skin Pore Eraser. After that settles in on the skin, you can now put on the foundation. I am mixing together the Maybelline New York Dream Satin Skin Foundation in the shade 01 and the Revlon Colorstay Foundation in the shade 150 "Buff" for that glow look I want while making sure it will stay on at the same time. I just blend it on my face using my Zoeva 104 Buffer Brush. You can also use a blender for easier application.

the SAEM Cover Perfection Tip Concealer and Johnsons Baby Powder

CONCEALER AND POWDER

Next, I put light concealer under my eyes. I am using the SAEM Cover Perfection Tip Concealer. I blended it in with my ring finger. Next, I just set everything in using a powder. I am using the Johnson's Baby Powder.

Benefit Browvo Conditioning Primer , Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil in the shade 05 and Benefit 3D Browtones in the shade 2

EYEBROWS

For the brows, I actually used a lot of products haha! First, I prime my brows using the Benefit Cosmetics Browvo Conditioning Primer. Next, I fill it up using the Benefit Cosmetics Precisely My Brow Pencil in the shade 5 and for a natural look, I just brushed it off afterwards. And lastly, I finish my brows with the Benefit Cosmetics 3D Browtones in the shade 2 to keep my brows in place for the day.

MASCARA

For the lashes, I just lightly curled it and applied the mascara. I am using the Loreal Paris False Lash Miss Manga Mascara.

BLUSH

Once my foundation had completely set, I then go back to the face makeup. First, I put on the cheek stain and I am using the Benefit Cosmetics Benetint. I apply small amounts on the apple of my cheeks and I just feather it out up to the temples. And then, I put on the blush powder. I am using the Etude House Cookie Blusher in the shade 6 "Grapefruit Jelly". I just applied it in the same positions as the cheek stain using the puff.

HIGHLIGHT

Next, I put on the liquid highlighter on the highest point of my cheekbones and on my cupid's bow. I am using the Maybelline New York Master Strobing Cream in the shade pink. I just blend it in again using my ring finger.

Burt's Bees Lip Balm and Mac Pressed and Ready Lipstick (Lustre)

LIP BALM AND LIPSTICK

And to finish of my look, I put on lip balm first to moisturize my lips, and then add some color with a nude lipstick. I am using the Burt's Bees Lip Balm "Wild Cherry" and the Mac Lipstick "Pressed and Ready" (Lustre).
