Hey everyone! This is going to be a special blog post for those of you who are graduating whatever grade this year since summer is approaching! I'll show some cute makeup looks and list the info on how to apply them and list some of my favorite accessory stores if you have yet to match up your dress with one. Hope it helps! For those of you who aren't graduating this year, I will post later this week a cute last day look!
Makeup Looks for Graduation
To achieve some of these flawless graduation summery makeup looks, begin with a simple cleansing of your face, using a quick pore-clearing soap. Gently rub oil-free moisturizer into your face and neck, then let dry for about 2 minutes; this allows the moisturizer to soak in and heal any dry patches on your face. After that, begin by priming your face and eyes. If you don't have primer, but want the same effect, there are many websites that have home-made primer that you can make without even having to go out to buy ingredients. After applying the primer, put on a foundation or cc/bb cream to give your face a flawless, dewy look. If you have freckles and want them to show, you can skip this step or just avoid the freckles. Next, dot your imperfections with concealer and blend them in lightly with a finger or brush. After concealer, I usually apply a quick matte setting powder just to help achieve that flawless look and keep the makeup on, but it's up to you. For eyes, pick golden, lavender, or indigo shadows; they bring out the eyes and stay within the summer color range. Use a shadow on the lid and then the crease; feel free to add more if you like. Brush out your eyebrows and fill them in if necessary. Add blush if you like to your cheeks; a flirty pink hue is a good choice. Finally, apply an SPF chapstick then move in with a lipstick. Bright pinks or nude colors work best for a natural look, then lightly cover the lipstick with a clear lip gloss for a beautiful shine. There you go! Feel free to change any steps to your liking.
