How to get the Perfect Romantic Valentine's Makeup with Beauty Bakerie?

 Hello World,

Happy Makeup Monday!

Today I have a makeup tutorial for you! Yay! I created this simple soft glam look, that can be used for any of the special occasions or holidays this weekend  - rather that's Valentine's Day, Galentine's day or what I celebrate on February 14th - Frederick Douglass's birthday. 

This post is brought to you in part by Beauty Bakerie... I'm just kidding. This is not a sponsored post, but I did use mostly Beauty Bakerie products to create this look. Not because they asked be to. I just used them because their products are banging! If you want to know more about Beauty Bakerie, you should check out my last post about Black Owned Makeup Brands you should be supporting right now!  Although, since I used almost all Beauty Bakerie products, this is almost a B.O.M.B. Makeup tutorial, it is not completely. So, since you guys requested it, I will be doing a full B.O.M.B. Makeup tutorial soon. I just need to, and by need to I mean just want to, get a few more items. So stay tuned. But here is the step by step tutorial on how to create this perfect romantic makeup look using some boss products from Beauty Bakerie.!

Makeup Tutorial: 15 Minute Full Face

 Hello World,

I'm back for another Makeup Monday post, and today I will be breaking down my everyday makeup look that l wear to work. It's simple, professional, and most importantly quick. When I'm getting ready for work, I'm not trying to take a long time, because I don't want to get get up any earlier than I have to. I like to be up and out the door in no more than 45 minutes, so I have mastered this routine that takes no more than 15 minutes ( I have done this makeup look in as quickly as 7 minutes).  Without further ado, here is my 15 minute full face routine. 

Step 1: Primer

Just because we're moving fast, doesn't mean we should skip primer. Primer is important in helping you makeup last longer. I use it as the last step in my skincare routine ( I will go over current skincare routine in another post). For primer, right now I switch between the Winky Lux Whipped Cream Primer and the e.l.f.  Poreless Putty primer. Both of these primers are really good for smoothing pores and giving your skin a smooth base. But you can use any primer that is most useful for your skin concerns. Like in the summer,  I would use a mattifying primer, because my skin is more oily, and as we get deeper into the winter, I'll probably start using a more moisturizing primer, since my skin is usually a little drier in the winter. For application, just apply a quick thin layer. I like to focus my primer in my t-zone, but I apply all over my face. 

Makeup Tutorial: Least Used Products

Hello World!

Whenever I do my makeup, I find myself always reaching for the same products. I have like 2-3 products that I'll just keep in rotation, or I'll buy something new, and then only use that for a few months. What can I say? I like what I like.


But I was going through my makeup collection, and I rediscovered some products that I really like, but for some reason, I never reach for. So, I created this look using the least used products that I have!

Here's the tutorial on how I got this look!

'Chocolate Brown' Makeup Look

Hello World! Here's a tutorial on how I got this chocolate brown makeup look!

Step 1: Wash and moisturize! I used Origins Checks and Balances Frothy face wash and Origins GinZing Energy-boosting moisturizer. I also used their GinZing Refreshing eye cream for the dark circles under my eyes. I received all these products and more complimentary and free from Influenster for testing purposes. See my review of all the Origins products I got on Thursday!

Step 2: Prime! I used BECCA Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector.

Step 3: Foundation!  I used Clinique Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup in the shade 29 Sienna.

Step 4: Concealer!  I applied concealer under my eyes, along the bridge of my nose, to the center of my forehead and on my chin. Then "baked" with a translucent powder.  I used  Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer in the shade Biscuit and the Sacha Buttercup Setting Powder.

Hello World! So today's look is a super quick and easy look, that you could wear everyday (if you were to wear makeup everyday). This look only took me ten minutes, so it's great if you're crunched for time!

'Fun Game Day' Makeup

      

Hello World! Happy NBA Playoffs! So yesterday was game day, so I decided to do a fun look to celebrate. And, of course my team  is the Golden State Warriors, so I used blues and yellows. Go Dubnation!

'No Makeup' Everyday Look

Hello World! Here's a tutorial on how to get a 'no makeup' everyday makeup look. (Please excuse my crazy eyes, I don't know how to take normal photos 😛.)

Step 1: Wash and moisturize you face. Skin care is the most important step in any makeup routine. Starting with a clean moisturized face will help your makeup stay on longer.

Step 2: Prime! For this look, I used the Maybelline Master Prime by Face Studio - Blur +Illuminate.

Step 3:  Color Correct! Color correcting is a lifesaving makeup trick. It allows you to use less foundation and concealer, while still covering up those little imperfections.  I used the orange corrector from L.A. Girl HD Pro Concealer. I applied it to the dark spots on my face, and under my eyes, and blended it out with a sponge. Check it out here!
