While I love dramatic smokey eyes and playing with colors, sometimes less is more. This is my go-to look for when I don’t feel like putting on a lot of makeup but still want to look and feel as good as I do when I’m going super-glam!
P.S. – This is a great look to wear during the day, especially to work or school.
Continue reading to see a list of all of the products I used in creating this look!
PRODUCTS USED
FACE:
Covergirl Simply Ageless Foundation in shades 210 + 205 (great cream foundation! It’s a combination of foundation and moisturizer. It’s like skincare an makeup in one. Winter favorite!)
Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Concealer in “Ivoire” (long-lasting. Doesn’t settle into fine lines around the eyes too much.)
Bobbi Brown Powder Blush in “Apricot” (matte bright pink blush)
Translucent setting powder I used was from MAC
BROWS:
Anastasia Brow Wiz Retractable Pencil in “Brunette” (Favorite brow pencil for the past few months!)
EYES:
Urban Decay Primer Potion (keeps all eye shadows + eyeliners from creasing and moving around. If you have oily lids, you need this!)
Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette — “Foxy”, a light, fleshy color with a bit of a yellow undertone, was used all over the lids to brighten them up a bit and even out pigmentation. “Tease”, a soft, warm browny-mauve shade, was used in the crease and along the lower lashline to add a bit of definition.
Clinique High Impact Mascara
Elite #18 False Lashes (In the tutorial, the ones I was using were brown but I didn’t mind as I was planning on using mascara on top of them anyway. At $2.50 a pair, they’re pretty inexpensive. I’m able to use each pair about 3-4 times before tossing them.)
LIPS:
Kat Von D Lipstick in “Lovecraft” (neutral rose shade that is close to the natural color of my lips, but slightly brighter. Adds a bit of life without looking like I’m really wearing lipstick. Dab the product on so you get a sheer wash of color for a natural effect.)
Nivea Kiss of Moisture Lip Balm (Inexpensive and one of the best lip balms I’ve used.)

hi Jessica,
you look amazing in this look!
can you recommend me any drugstore cream foundation that works best for oily skin?
great tutorial!
xo
OMG I love your makeup in this video! My boyfriend is against makeup and I’m SO not
This should be a great middle ground for me!(:
Where did you buy the Elite #18 False Lashes?
This is so great because you still look fabulous but in the same time really natural. Sometimes the make ups like this one look a bit…too natural if you know what I mean, so I would totally go for this look just because it’s a bit different
What color brow wiz from Anastasia do you use Jessica?
your gorgeous! what do you use to remove acne scars?
Makeup is pretty, hair so bouncy & gorgeous but overall your SMILE RADIATES HAPPINESS!
I really like your blog for the inspiration and the makeup/fashion tips, much success in 2012!
Jessica, please tell me or provide a website were I can buy the elite #18 false lashes. I have looked everywhere!!! but have been unsuccessful!
Thank you
absolutely in love with this makeup look
Hi, what false lash brand do you suggest are best & where can I buy them?
Love this look! I’m learning so much from your videos. Thank you!!
HI!
. Is there something that you can do about it?
I absolutely love it. It’s the cutest look ever. I have watched all of your videos and you are fabulous. I am the kinda person who is always looking for the right kind of makeup and once I find it, I use the same brand or shade for life. I know it’s crazy but I’m too nervous to try new stuff specially make up since it’s so expensive. but i love make up. I fell in love with the my glam bag and wanted to subscribe, but the monthly subscription is out of stock
Any way, you are gorgeous as always and love your tutorials.
xoxo
Samia.

New look at http://carol-mkup.blogspot.com/ visit
I love this tutorial. I actually do this kind of make up everyday. I find natural look much more attractive and charming than something bright. You have a nice citrine ring.
Oh Jessica!!! This looks so flawless on you! I am so amazed by your beauty, not fair
LOL Love you<3
