“Jump for joy” make up break down.

A few days ago I posted a look called “jump for joy” with a fun pin up make up look. This is the break down for that look!

“Just Chill” make up break down.

This is a make up info post for the outfit I posted on Thursday titled “I promise we will just chill.. just chill.” It was a really fun look to do, and the cheeks/lips combo was somewhat unusual for me.

I generally love a really pink, cool-toned cheek, but on this occasion, because I was wearing such a pretty, beige/yellow toned maxi dress, extremely pretty, extremely romantic, but extremely warm, with all these bronzy, brown, warm-toned autumn colors, I decided to try to work with warmer colors, with a splash of frostiness.

I wear brown smokey eyes pretty often, so this is nothing new. However, I went with a peachy, apricotty cheek, created with a mix of Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick (Apricot), Dior Harmonie Blush (Coral Riviera), and Nars Orgasm. Also, for an extra glow and to diffuse light on imperfections, I blended everything together all over the face after everything (but before mascara!) with Guerlain Meteorites in Teint Beige. They are seriously my HG setting powder. I set my foundation with something else (a generic translucent-ish powder), but the Meteorites are seriously where the magic happens. It blends together everything so wonderfully and adds a subtle glow to my skin that is just right but never sparkly, resulting in the beautiful, subtle, and never over the top glow that you see on my nose, chin area, and forehead (the cheeks are the help of the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick). Seriously my Holy Grail product for the face.

I hope you will enjoy the full, super-detailed break down below as well as some more photos, all below the jump:

Summer is almost over! My top bronzer for this year:

I’m so sad summer is over. However, I still have fond memories of it to go back on. My summer really began as early as March–I officially graduated, though I didn’t walk the ceremony until June. I went on a trip to Hawaii over spring break in March/April, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s when summer began for me. It’s been a long ol’ summer.

Anyway, on the subject of summer… I don’t think I’ve ever loved a bronzer as much as I loved Guerlain’s Terracotta Light Summer edition in 02 Brunette. I’ll probably be still using this to warm up my complexion well into the winter.
