5 Minute Face - The Pictorial

Penned by Mop Top Maven at 12:10 AM

I Used:
MAC Primer
Makeup Forever Face & Body Makeup in color 44
MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Spiked
Benefit Brow Zing [Powder] in Medium
Benefit Bad Gal Mascara
MAC Loverush Blush
Nars Giza Lipgloss

Apply primer to face, I use a foundation brush to ensure even coverage
Apply liquid foundation - I use the Beauty Blender, it gives a dewy, airbrushed look!
Just stipple the foundation on using the larger portion of the beauty blender.
With light strokes, draw a line underneath your brow following your natural arch. I normally go a bit darker at night.
Fill in brows with eyebrow powder
Now add two coats of mascara to top and bottom lashes
I add blush to the middle part of my cheeks first
I also add blush to the "apples" of my cheeks
Add gloss, and you are good to go!

    GORGEOUS! I've been using make-up for a few yrs now (mostly when I have a break-out to cover up). But, in my opinion, I still don't know how to use it correctly. So I always appreciate a tutorial. Thx!

    I love the makeup finish- very natural and pretty. Question- How often do you replace your beauty blender?

    There is a very subtle difference with makeup on and off your face. You have such lovely skin already, but the makeup adds to your natural dewiness! I LOVE your look. I don't use makeup except mascara, lipstick, and maybe eyeshadow, but this? This I like!

    @natstar thank you!!! I have had my beauty blender for about 6 months now and it is still going strong. - I will most likely replace it in another 6 months.
