The Look for Less: Chloé
July 15, 2016
Chloé is a brand I greatly admire. I basically awe at everything Clare Waight Keller designs. Their pieces are sophisticated and feminine with a "boyish" touch which I love! Sadly, it's all too expensive for me to own any pieces yet but a girl can still dream and find look-a-likes for less! Here I share with you the most affordable versions I could find! I hope you enjoy and if you want me to prepare this same style of post for any other brand, let me know!

Espero que lo disfruten y si desean que prepare algún post similar de otra marca, ¡déjenme saber!

The Five Minute Face
July 13, 2016
STEP ONE: PRIME
 |
| Laura Mercier Foundation Primer-Hydrating, Make Up Forever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primer in Matte Finish |
Priming the face is such an important first step when applying makeup! It evens out the beautiful canvas which is your face, allowing for a smooth and lasting makeup application. My skin type is combination: dry in some areas and oily around the T-zone. To attack both of these concerns, I use the Laura Mercier Hydrating Primer all around the face and the Make Up For Ever Matte Finish Primer only in the areas I get most oily.
 |
| Dermablend Smooth Liquid Camo Concealer, Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid in Peach, Bésame Cosmetics Brightening Setting Face Powder in French Vanilla, Neutrogena Shine Control Powder |
As a medical student, a good night's rest is a rare thing and my eyes can be a tell-tale sign of that. To hide away dark eye circles I first use the Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid in Peach just in the corners of my eyes to brighten the area and counteract the darkness. I follow up with the Dermablend Concealer which has amazing coverage even though it's unbelievably thin! As I am not using any foundation for this look, I also use this concealer to mask any blemishes or dark spots quickly. I set the concealer under my eyes using the Bésame Cosmetics Powder and then use the Neutrogena Shine Control Powder on my T-zone.
STEP THREE: EYES & CHEEKS
 |
| Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow in Medium, Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara, Rimmel London Kate Sculpting and Highlighting Kit in Coral Glow |
All the makeup artists I've ever read or heard always encourage the same thing when doing natural makeup: pick your best feature and play it up! For me that's my eyes. I use the Benefit Gimme Brow to quickly give my brows some color and fill in the sparse areas. Then I use Maybelline's Lash Sensational Mascara to boost up those eyelashes! Its lengthening, volumizing and amazing! I finish the face with some blush which I tend to choose depending on my mood, the lipstick I want to go for or what I'll be wearing. Right now I'm loving this trio from Rimmel. I love a natural face with a coral blush paired with coral lips! The highlighter in this set is a great drugstore option to keep up with the highlighting craze!
STEP FOUR: SET
 |
| NYX Cosmetics Dewy Finish Makeup Setting Spray |
Last, I set my face with this makeup setting spray by NYX Cosmetics. Just as the name suggests it leaves you with a dewy finish without looking oily and is great for a mid-day spray to keep your makeup looking refreshed!
THE TOOLS
 |
| Real Techniques Setting Brush for setting under-eye concealer ,Real Techniques Blush Brush, Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge is amazing for applying concealer or foundation for a flawless, airbrushed finish, bh Cosmetics Face Essential 5 Piece Brush Set the black one for applying powder all over the face, the white one for highlighter |
