Happy Aloha Friday!!!
I woke up this morning feeling like I was on top of the world! It's funny because my daughter went to bed late... around 11 p.m. and then she woke up at 4 a.m.! Still, I felt an enormous amount of gratitude for life and God and all things possible! Maybe it's all the endorphins flowing through me because I finally organized our room. Everything is in its right place...clothes, accessories, make-up, etc... I love to label things so you could say I got too excited and went label crazy... hehe!
As I was winding down last night after the princessa went to bed, I looked up some make-up ideas on my IG. I came across über beauty Adriana Lima's pictures and I noticed all these Victoria's Secret models look so natural and stunning. I decided to research their make-up artist and I saw a common style with all the goddess' make-up. It's very natural, soft, and glowing.
Here I attempted to create a similar look...
Today's Make-up Inspiration: Adriana Lima
To get a flawless look, I used all Loreal products:
Age Perfect Day Lotion
Moisture Blur
Lumi Foundation in W3 - 2 pumps only. Use very little!
Concealer: For my designer eyebags, I used Hourglass and Bare Mineral's Well Rested
Eyes: Rihanna's Phresh Out Deluxe Pearl Fusion Shadow by MAC - a gift from Julius from last xmas? my birthday? wait... hmm...
hehe! Thanks Juju! This mama memory loss has got me trippin'!
I used the darker color at the outer corner of the lid and used the gold color in the inner corner of my lid.
I used the lightest color right on the brow bone and at the inner corners of my eyes. Then I used a Taupe color in the crease of my lid to blend all the colors together.
Liner: I used a black liquid liner for the top of the lash line and used a shimmery brown shadow to define the lower lash line.
Mascara: Loreal's Butterfly Effects in Black. I love this Mascara! Apply to top and bottom lashes.
Brows: I lightly defined my eyebrows with Anastasia's Brow Wiz in Dark Brown and clear brow gel.
Contour: Nars Paloma - A gift for my 3rd Annual 33rd Birthday from my sistah, E! Anastasia's contour kit was out of stock at the time so she got me this aaaand it works just as great!
Blush: Mary Kay in Sunny Spice
Highlight: Dior's Shimmer Powder in Amber Diamond. I just added a bit to my cheekbones, nose bridge and above the brows.
Lips: nude lipliner and Covergirl's Darling
No face powder today to give a natural dewy look.
Hair: Used my Instyler to get healthy, shiny looking locks.
Voilà!
(did I do ok? lol)
Sexy Sleeves V.I.P.
Today, I decided to wear my VIP t-shirt from Express (a gift from my sweet redhead voice student, Kristi) and my Levi's jeans with a belt. I threw on a grey camouflage open Cardi to cover my arms and it came out "perfs." I put on some black wedge platforms and I was ready to go! So simple but effective!
My darlings, if you have a very hectic schedule with work or children or both (like me), making time to look your best is a game changer in how you approach the day. I must admit, it takes more time and effort, but it really does make one feel like a
Very. Important. Person.
"Wake-up...
Say a prayer...
and Hustle" with your Sexy Sleeves!
