Fun and Flirty | Makeup Look

Monday 11 February 2019

If you did not see my Instagram stories over the weekend I've been obsessing over Korean/Japanese soap operas lately and it just got me inspired to create a make-up look that feels and looks light, airy and natural because who doesn't love a no makeup makeup look? I went by @erie.plaza.boutique in Leamington (big thank you to Anisha and Daniela for your help) and got a few goodies to create a flirty look that would be perfect for Valentine's day (but really any day)! As a busy mom of two I'm always looking and gravitating towards products that will enhance my existing face without taking too much time and effort.

With that being said I picked out a few items that I thought would not only give me that effortless look but also become products I hope to enjoy on the daily. Starting with the base of my face I ended up choosing Camera Ready CC cream by Smashbox. I wanted something that was light as foundation can be quite heavy and having that SPF factor is always a bonus. My girlfriend Lisa was kind enough to come over and give me some tips which I thought I'd share with you on how she achieved this look on me. She used the beauty blender by Lise Watier (dampened) and started with pea sized amount of CC cream (always start small and build up). I was pretty impressed with this particular sponge as it features a flat edge that helped blend the product into my skin. The CC cream itself was a great match (light/medium) and gave me enough coverage without totally blocking out some of my freckles and did not feel super heavy on my face.
Up next grabbed a pretty apricoty-pink blush by L'Oreal in their new Paradise Enchanted line. It's described as a fruit-scented powder blush with a velvety soft texture. I would like to say it was not that great smelling but was quite velvety and applied decently with OK colour pay-off. I applied only onto the apples of my cheeks to give a soft glow. For an even more luminous look I grabbed Stila's Heaven's Hue Highlighter in Kitten and goodness what a beautiful product! I believe this is a great universal highlighter that would be perfect on all skin tones that gives just enough to maintain a natural glow (the ultra-fine particles as described totally helped soften the highlight). Lisa also applied this on my lids over some light brown eyeshadow. Do not forget to highlight the nose and cupids bow!





Saving the best for last, I can already confidently tell you all after two days of using Clarins' Water Lip Stain in Rose Water I am totally obsessed! It is definitely a new must-have product for myself that totally enhances my lips (I gotta go back for the orange). I love how the product is totally buildable! For those who just need a bit of colour this is exactly what you're looking for. It's non-drying and does not even feel like you have anything on your lips! I had reapplied chapstick on top throughout the day with no issues. To give that more natural lip stained look Lisa actually patted some concealer onto my lips and then emphasized the stain at the centre of my lip. This product dries quite quickly and I love the smell of it!

To finish off the look I loosely curled my hair and tied it up (leave some strands out for a more flirty look) with a cute hair scarf. I love how fun this looks without being too fussy. We're actually doing a pretty low-key Valentine's Day (sushi with friends) so this look is totally what I was envisioning! It really took no time at all (less than 20 minutes) and I'm pretty sure it will become my normal routine because of how easy it is! Hope you enjoyed this look and wishing you all a great little Valentine's Day with those you love!
