Natural Holiday Makeup
Holiday makeup is always pretty, but not always natural looking. I wanted to do a look that is still fun and festive, but isn’t so over-the-top that if you don’t wear a lot of makeup you’d feel like an imposter in your own skin. 
I started with all the basics. Also, in the following paragraphs I am being a bit more detailed because I want you guys to understand why different products work for different things <3
Foundation: Airbrush (this set gets you all the basics you need to figure out your exact color match, plus you have options if you are more fair in the winter or more tan in the summer. Also great for anyone wanting to do makeup on others.) You can also apply the foundation with a normal foundation brush. I love this brush here A good foundation for oily skin is Double Wear Light A good foundation for normal dry skin is this one from YSL For normal/combo or normal to dry skin I like this contour cream Use this Armani brush to apply the contour to the sides of the nose, and under-curve of the cheekbone then blend with a damp beauty blender. If you’re more oily or prefer a matte finish, I like this Sculpting Powder Undereye Concealer: Lancome Effacernes Eyes: Urban Decay Anti-aging eyeshadow primer (makes your eyeshadow stay on) MAC eyeshadows ( Light under-brow is Blac Type. Warm brown in crease is Saddle. Darker brown outer corner is Brun.) Use brush MAC 239 for Blanc Type Use brush MAC 213 for Saddle and Brun. Mascara is Lancome Hypnose Brows: This Anastasia brow set is error-proof. To figure out which stencil fits your brows, hold them up to your brow and whichever one lines up closest at the peak (or arch) of your brow and where your brow starts, is your stencil. Lips: Native lipliner. On lid add the gold: To get a reeeeally good metallic finish I used Makeup Forever Flash Color (gold) This case is SO USEFUL! I remember when I bought it thinking “I’m not sure if I’ll use all of these colors.” But this thing has come in handy SO many times! I’ve used it as a cream blush, I’ve used it for face painting, and for a million other things like on the back up kiddos in this music video (Despicable Me inspired ;)) Add the gold from this For metallic shadows and creams I like this brush MAC 242 Eyeliner on top: Chanel Liquid eyeliner Eyeliner on bottom: Lancome Le stylo Noir Lashes: Ardell 122 Lipgloss: Bobbi Brown Crystal I like this gloss because you can put it over anything and it doesn’t change the color, just makes it crazy shiny and smooth. Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! <3 Photos by Jessa Kae
