Quick Smoky Eye

Beautykacee geoffroyComment

It's holiday season and we all know that we are gonna try and looking smoking hot at all of our holiday parties!!  Smoking hot = Smokey Eye.  This is seriously the number one tutorial I get asked to do.  This quick and super simple tutorial will make your holiday makeup prep a breeze!  Don't forget my amazing Beauty Gift Guide to find all your must haves from the beauty department!  

Quick Smokey Eye tutorial

Step 1: Prep your skin with moisturizer and primer.  

Step 2:  Apply favorite foundation with moisten  beauty blender.  Tip!!!  Check foundation ingredients to make sure your formula doesn't have to much metal in it.  Nothing worse than that horrific white picture face.  If a foundation has to much metal it can kick up the flash and make you look ghostly white in pictures. 

Step 3: Almost done with face and will soon be on to the good stuff I promise….Okay, set foundation and concealer with a translucent powder.  This is important to help with any eye shadow fall out.  

Step 4: Eyes!  Yay! Apply a bronzy yet grey eye shadow to whole lid. 

Step 5: Blend crease with a mid tone brown to create seamless smokey look.

Step 6: Line lash line with a thick line of either dark brown gel or pencil liner.  

Step 7: Blend that messy thick line line with dark brown shadow.

Step 8: Apply 2 coats of black mascara

Step 9: Line under eye with waterproof dark brown pencil liner. Blend with mid tone brown eye shadow under whole lower lash line.  

Step 10: Make sure to bronze and blush and top off look with a great nude lip ( my fave happens to be dirt cheap, yay! ). 

Voila!  Hottest girly at any party!

Why not put your left over pumpkin puree to good use!  The enzymes in pumpkin are so good for your skin and work as natural exfoliators leaving your skin smooth and glowing.  It is packed with Vitamin A and C , zinc and alpha hydroxy acids that help aid in skin turn over.  And best part is you can grab all the ingredients out of your pantry and fridge.  

You will need:

2tsp pumpkin puree ( I used canned)

1/2 tsp honey ( raw is best)

1/2 tsp milk 

 

PumpkinEnzymeMask

Step 1: Mix ingredients together to create smooth consistency. 

Step 2: Grab a small handful of the mixture and massage into face avoiding eyes.

Step 3: Let mask sit for 10-15 minutes then rinse with warm washcloth.  Follow with favorite moisturizer.

Tutorial Tuesday: How to use a Beauty Blender like a pro

Beautykacee geoffroyComment

I get asked constantly what the heck you are supposed to do with that "pink egg" aka Beauty Blender.  Why are their so many options?  Why do you need one?  Don't fret!  This little "pink egg" will be your new best friend after my easy "how to" steps. 

Step 1: First, moisturize your face then apply your favorite primer to your full face and neck.  Moisten your Beauty Blender with Rose water spray.  I use MAC Fix+.

Step 2: Apply a nickel size amount of your favorite liquid foundation to the back of your hand. Dab damp Beauty Blender into foundation.  

Step 3: Using dabbing motions , press foundation into skin.

Step 4: Continue dabbing until you've blended your face fully. For fuller coverage, apply more foundation. Top foundation with dust of loose setting powder and continue with bronzer and blush.

Tutorial Tuesday | Quick Fall Makeup tutorial

Beautykacee geoffroyComment

I love a quick and chic makeup look that gets me out the door quickly and stays put.  Below are my tried and true favorite makeup products along with my super quick Fall makeup look. 

Step 1: Exfoliate and moisturize skin before applying a medium coverage foundation.  

Step 2: Using a brightening concealer, conceal dark circles by creating V shape from center of eye to end of nose to outer corner of eye.  Pat with finger to blend.

Step 3: Using a fluffy brush set makeup with loose powder to keep makeup in place all day.

Step 4: Dust bronzer onto cheeks and temples with a fan brush.  Top with favorite blush. 

Step 5:  Apply 2-3 coats of black mascara to lashes and brush up brows to wake up eyes.  

Step 6: Line lips with lip liner and apply your favorite fall lipstick shade.  I swear by lip stains when using a darker lip. 

Step 7: Top off look with an illuminator to cheekbones and temples to make skin glow.
