Mermaid Vibes

What do you do on a rainy Tuesday morning? You got it, BLOG. Although I always post details of what makeup products I'm wearing on my Instagram (you can find me at scmakeupartistry) I find I don't go into full details on the steps I take when applying them. Personally I hate typing on a phone screen it literally drives me madddd, so while I update the blog this week with a ton of past makeup looks and videos, I will be including more details that you can't find on my Instagram! Bare with me while I post 6,700 photos of my face  :)

MERMAID VIBES

 

MAKEUP DETAILS: 

Face: Primed with Sephora After Glow Primer. This stuff is amazing for creating a luminous glow underneath your foundation OR mixed in with your foundation. So obsessed! Followed by Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Foundation applied with a damp Real Techniques sponge. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer to conceal and brighten the under eye. Laura Mercier Translucent Powder applied over the areas I applied my concealer to set and bake. I have really dry skin so I don't like to let the powder sit too long on my skin, I typically wait only a minute max where I know a lot of people will let their powder sit on their skin for 5 minutes +. To cream contour my skin I used the darkest brown shade in the Tarte Rainforest Of The Sea Colour Correcting palette and applied to my forehead, sides of my nose and cheeks. To blend it out I used my RT sponge again. Then using my Bahama Mama by the Balm I went in over the cream contour to set and define the contour. The most bomb highlight ever comes from the Anastasia Beverly Hills That Glow Kit in Sunburst!

Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow in Soft Brown applied with a thin angled brush. To blend the product in I used a small spoolie and then set with a tiny bit of the clear brow gel from ABH

Eyes: I always prime my eyelids with a tiny bit of concealer because I also love how it cancels out the redness on my eyelids and creates a flawless finish. I set with a tiny bit of my Rimmel Stay Matte powder and then go in with my shadows. I used the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Sugar Frost as my base colour and applied it right from the stick then blended it out with my fingers. Then I took The Balm Shady Lady Palette (favourite for fresh summer looks) and used Jet Setting Jennifer on the lid, also applied with my fingers followed by All About Alex in the crease, outer corners and lower lash line.  Jealous Jordan on the outer V. Both applied with fluffy crease brushes and a lot of blending. Lashes are Ardell Lashes in Double Wispies with duo eyelash glue. For mascara I used the Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious Washable mascara for the top lashes and Mac Extended Play. Seriously the best bottom lash mascara ever! 

Lips: First I applied Motives Nice, which was a bit TOO light for the look I was going for, so I dapped Revlon Primrose over top and then took Sunburst from the That Glow palette and applied it on the center of my lips. I have seen Amrezy applying her highlight over her lips on snapchat and just LOVED IT but had never thought to personally try it, so I was totally over the moon when it looked incredibly gorgeous. Only down fall was once it dried it looked a bit cakey but amazing for photos. 

 

Let me know what you guys think! I personally loved this look because it was giving me glowy mermaid vibes and lets face it... who doesn't want to be a mermaid?

Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
