A few of my favorite things!

9/29/2015

A few products I used to create a romantically minimal look (see Romantically minimal post)

1.      MAC pro long wear concealer - lightly brightens under the eyes.

2.      Smashbox LA lights in Pearl - This chubby easy to blend crayon accents cheekbones and gives the skin a natural illumination.

3.      Sonia Kashuk’s Dewy Luxe Lip & Cheek Balm in Enchanted - create a realistic just-in-from-the-cold blush while keeping the skin moist (the plus is that it can be used as a tinted balm on the lips as well).

4.      Makeup for Ever Aqua Cream shadow in Pink Beige - give eyes a soft hint of color.

5.      Diorshow Mascara - builds volume and adds rich color so eye shadows can be kept to a minimum.

6.      Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil Dragon Girl - use as a stain over lightly moisturized lips, and blot for longer wear.

Fall Beauty 2015 Romantically Minimal

It’s hard to believe that Fall is right around the corner. September 23 to be exact the Autumnal Equinox, after that the days start getting shorter, leaves start to change colors and the humidity evaporates from the air. Shorter days and drier temperatures shouldn’t be reflected on our skin or hair. Fall is the perfect time to transition to creamier, richer products that will keep you looking radiant and healthy.

Because the light outdoors is diminishing my inspiration for our Fall Fashion Spread was to give Raina, our model, rosy skin with a light reflecting quality so she look lit from within. The look is defined by luminous skin, flushed cheeks and doe-eyed beauty, framed by glossy waves.
