Create the Day Look ....

Want to know how to create a simple day look ? If you saw my post yesterday ' Back to Basics ' I talked about getting your foundation, concealer and powder right. Once you have that done, this look is really easy to follow and such a gorgeous day look.

Tools that you will need to create this look

  •  Eye shadow brush
  •  Blender brush
  •  Eye Liner brush
  •  Powder / Bronzer brush
  •  Blusher brush
  •  Brow brush


Step by Step guide to recreate this look

As discussed in my previous post about foundation, concealer and powder make sure you have the right colour and the right type for your skin type. Once you have applied your foundation, concealer and powder you are ready to recreate the above look
  1. Brush your brows using a brow brush and make sure they are in shape, fill in any gaps using a brown powder to give them that fuller look.
  2. Apply a base colour on your eye lid. I used a natural tone just to get rid of the concealer colour from my eye lid.
  3. Using your eyeshadow place your darker colour in a ( side ways triangle shape < / >) starting from the outer corner of the eye lid working your way to the inner corner. 
  4. With your blender brush, brush this back and forth in the same direction you applied your eyeshadow, building up the colour on the outer corner and brushing this in to the inner corner of your eye.
  5. Using your eye liner brush you want a thin and simple eye lined effect. Start from the outer corner and work inwards and always create a  thicker line on the outer corner and a thin line working towards the inner corner.
  6. Use mascara on your upper lashes and then wipe the excess off your mascara wand. Without adding extra mascara, apply to the lower lashes to avoid clumping and smudging.
  7. Apply your Bronzer to the areas you want to shade, i.e Temples, forehead etc
  8. Apply blusher to the apples of your cheek working upwards towards your temple
  9. Use a Lip gloss to create a shiny lip , or a matte lip colour if you prefer more of a matte look
  10. Your look has been created. This is such a quick look to create and you can use any colour in this look.
