Minimal Monday

Here's a little inspiration for your work week.


Minimal make-up is one of the hottest trends right now. The minimal make-up look helps you bring out your natural beauty & It's the perfect summer look!

Here's a few steps on how to obtain the minimal make-up look

BB cream & now CC cream is all the rage this season & it's my go to tool for foundation when I don't need much coverage & the best part it has SPF! You can still use your foundation when going for this look, just make sure you focus on certain areas such as around the eyes, the mouth and your nose.

You can check out a prior blog about BB cream here http://www.loriallisonartistry.blogspot.com/2012/10/bb.html

For a little blush and contouring, try a bronzer that is 2-3 shades darker than your natural skin tone & focus on the hollows of your cheeks, below the jawline, under your chin & the perimeter of your forehead. This will help create a more defined look.

To make the eyes pop while still maintaining the minimal look, line the lower inner rim of your eyes with a flesh toned liner, I like to use wet & wild eye liners (for just a buck, you can't go wrong) and apply waterproof mascara to the top lashes only. If your lashes are more on the lighter side, try using a brown mascara instead of the harsh black!

And for the final touch...your lips. To make sure your lips are moisturized apply a coat of lip balm and then apply a coat of lip gloss for that natural finish.

Until next time,

Stay Beautiful!
