I hope your week is going well! Mine has been comprised of inordinately long teaching days, afternoon meetings and photography and late night writing sessions..not much sleep to speak of, but each round of 24 hours is definitely not boring ; )
Today, I am excited to share a simple, easy to acheive look featuring some tested, tried and true products that hold up for hours on end!
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images of the products in action as well as the Bottom Line…
For the look below, I used the following products:
- Edward Bess Flawless Illusion Transforming Full Coverage Foundation in Medium (reviewed HERE) applied with a damp Beauty Blender.
- *Rodial Glamtastic Contouring Powder (reviewed HERE) to lightly contour.
- *Clé de Peau Beauté Bronzing Powder #01 (also available at CdPB and reviewed HERE) to add warmth to the mid-cheeks…applied with my *Surratt Beauty Artistique Sculpting Brush (reviewed HERE).
- Becca Shimmering Skin Pefector Poured in Pearl (reviewed HERE) along my upper cheek bones and down the bridge of my nose to add illumination.
- Natasha Denona 5 Palette in #02 (reviewed HERE) applied with the *All Over Eye Brush from the Jenny Patinkin Gem Collection (reviewed HERE)
- Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara (reviewed HERE)
- Bobbi Brown Art Stick in Bare: I am in love with this creamy, opaque, velvety smooth lip color option…it is hydrating and comfortable with tremendous longevity…Bare is a nude lip lover’s must-have!
- *Edward Bess lip gloss in French Lace (reviewed HERE) to add a soft shine atop Bare; this lilac nude cream is incredibly unique and is flattering on its own or over nearly every shade imaginable.
- *SK-II Mid-Day Essence (reviewed HERE) for a dewy finish.
