Steal this look: Simple, quick and easy all-day wear

Every now and then, Cosmo features a “Get this look” short beauty special of a celebrity’s makeup. From simple looks to glamorous styles, every woman has her own taste.

Here’s an easy look that I like. It takes about 10 minutes in the morning and lasts all day with little touch-ups (usually only the Carmex!). I use this look for school, work, church and even when I go out. It is light and natural yet it adds something special to the everyday casual look.



Products and techniques:

Concealer: Use concealer to cover up dark circles (mine are bad!). The particular concealer is in a medium shade (item H69) from Event Cosmetics.

Powder and Kabuki brush

Powder: Powder up. I use bare minerals from Sephora, the matte golden medium. Use any kabuki or round brush for application.

Cheek definition: I use a bronzer to define my cheeks and add a little bit of color to my face. This particular bronzer is the Sunset Strip Shimmer Strips from Fred Meyer (approximately $8). I apply with a miniature round brush along the hollows of my cheeks and blend, blend, blend.

Define the brows: I use M.A.C.’s matte charcoal brown eye shadow (these types of individual shadows are approximately $13; try something cheaper!). I use a miniature angled brush.

Liquid eye liner

Eye liner: I use Maybelline’s Line Stiletto, a liquid liner in black. Start from the inner corner of each eye. Draw the line. Flare out at the outer corner of each eye. This product is approximately $5 from Walmart.

Mascara: I like the waterproof Maybelline Falsies Volum’ Express with a curved brush. The curved brush follows the natural shape of the eye which helps eliminate mistakes. Start at the base of the lashes and move to the tips. This product is approximately $5 at Walmart.

Color shadow

Adding color: Use any color to add a little bit of fun to your look. Use any angled brush and apply the color below your lower lashes. This particular product is M.A.C.’s Stars ‘N’ Rockets eye shadow.

Lips: I use Victoria’s Secret’s Scrumptious lipstick. You can use a gloss over the color, but I love my Carmex.

This same style with a variation of strokes and colors can definitely change up the entire look. Note that while these are the products that I have and use, any other products to your liking can do the job. Experiment and have fun creating your very own style!
