{beauty} 10 minute face: au naturel

Everyone is going au naturel with their faces this spring, and I am most definitely on board!  Kahlia and I did a 10 minute face that you can easily recreate with your own tools at home.

We began with Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum.  Apply morning and evening on your beautiful face and neck before you moisturize.  And then you MUST moisturize – I insist!  If there is one beauty tip I do know, it is that moisturising your face is très importante.  Kahlia likes Kiehl’s Acai Damage Correcting Moisturizer.  It’s 100% natural,  rich with antioxidants, and non-greasy.  Definitely sounds a lot better than the Oil Of Olay I normally use.

Time for a little BB Cream, like Dior Hydra Life.  It will even your skin tone out while moisturising and even has SPF 30.  We used Revlon’s Photoready Skinlights under my eyes and as a highlighter.  I don’t normally wear concealer, so we just used the Mac Pro-Conceal and Correct Palette for spot treatment and peachier tones under the eyes.  Then Kahlia applied Mac Mineralized Skin Finish to set powder under the eyes and on any visibly shiny spots.  For the brows, we brushed them and then used an angle brush and Mac Eyeshadow in Espresso to fill them in.

Keeping things more natural looking, we were very minimal on the eyes.  Just a shimmer base and then using an eyeshadow brush applied Mac Eyeshadow in Malt.  A simple black liner using Mac Dip Down Fluid Line and an angled liner brush only on the upper lid.  And lastly, mascara like Revlon‘s Lash Potion in Blackforest Black.  Since I’m naturally pink in the cheeks, we opted for Mac Warm Soul Mineral Blush which is almost like a bronzer and blush in one!  We finished off the look with Clarins #10 Lipstick.

It was definitely more skin product than I normally use, but the difference was VERY noticeable. A few different people comment on how “fresh” I looked that day, which isn’t a compliment I normally receive.  I love how easy this makeup routine was and I’ve been recreating a similar one each day at home.  Thanks to Kahlia for showing us how it’s done!
