Picture Perfect Makeup

Makeup Perfect for Pictures

Tips:

1. Exfoliate 

2. Do not use SPF on the skin

3. Moisturize 

4. Use an eyeshadow base to insure shadows stay in place 

5. Line waterline with a cream colored liner to bring out more pigmentation in shadows

6. Do a little matte eyeshadow look with little shimmer and be sure to blend

7. Tight line as best you can 

8. Use an eyeliner method you are comfortable with (I recommend doing something you know you can do)

9. Set eyeliner with a powder 

10. Curl your lashes and add a good coat (or couple coats) of mascara (I recommend a waterproof or long lasting mascara) 

11. Apply false eyelashes 

12. Apply a face primer 

13. Apply a medium to full coverage foundation with NO SPF (if you can find your perfect shade mix two shades together) 

14. Match foundation to neck

15. Moisturize your lips

16. Use a lighter concealer for under the eyes (NOT a light reflecting concealer) & a concealer that matches your foundation shade) 

17. Use a damp beauty sponge to blend everything out seamlessly

18. DO NOT forget about brows (fill them in with pencil or powder and set with wax or gel) 

19. Use a very light hand when it comes to setting powder- to much with look cakey

20. Use a semi matte or matte bronzer to warm your skin up and add a sun kissed look 

21. Use a lip combo that works best for your skin tone

22. Pick a blush that works well for your skin and is matte (I love little baby pinks for fair skin) 

23. Place a light white/champagne shadow in the inner corner 

24. Apply a very little bit of highlight to the top of cheek bones, down the center of the nose, and cupid's bow (I add a little to the center of my lips) 

25. Set everything with your favorite setting spray

Hello, I hope you guys had a wonderful Valentine's Day! Alex and I had a great night. We went to an early dinner at French themed restaurant called Mon Ami Gabi. The dinner was truly a pescaterains dream. We ordered escargot and lobster bisque soup as an appitizer. For the main course Alex had prime rib and I ordered the trout. The food was amazing! After dinner we did a little bit of shopping, we stopped by Lush and MAC cosmetics. Then we headed home for a relaxing evening. We started the new season of House of Cards on Netflix and later in the evening ordered a pizza. You can check out our daily/weekly vlogs on brittanyxovlogs on YouTube. 

Alex and I exchanged gifts as most do on this day. I gifted him a basket full of goodies, his favorite coffee, bottle of red wine, a big box of chocolate, and some red roses. Alex is always so generous he got me some chocolates, red roses, and my favorite Miss Dior perfume. I am so happy that I have spent the last 6 Valentine's with Alex and I know there are many more to come.   

Xo,

Brittany

I hope all of you had an amazing relaxing Thanksgiving; I know I did. I spent the day with Alex's family and we ordered in Maggiano's. Alex's aunt is an amazing host and wonderful decorator. We each had a milk chocolate turkey waiting for us at the table. The food was amazing as Maggiano's really knows how to make delicious food.  After dinner we all congregated into the living room for some good old fashion movie watching. We watched Movie 43, super weird by the way and then we moved on to something a little more classic, Pulp Fiction. I am happy to be surrounded by such lovely people this holiday season.
