Soft + Sweet Makeup

March 17, 2015

After THIS post, there were some requests about my makeup technique so I thought I’d put together a girly makeup tutorial to show you a simple feminine look that’s universal for anyone, at any age. As mentioned in the video, HERE is the tutorial for my foundation technique applied before filming! Oh and in case you’re wanting more girly-soft makeup suggestions, you can see a round-up of favorites HERE. And there you have it short soft and sweet!

Make Up For Ever HD Foundation ‘150’ | Anastasia Brow Wiz ‘Taupe’ | Benefit ‘Rockateur’ Blush | Make Up For Ever Aqua Matic ‘ME -54’ | Too Faced Waterproof Eyeliner ‘Perfect Black’ | Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil ‘Underground’ | Too Faced ‘Better Than Sex’ Mascara | Tarte ‘Lights, Camera, Lashes + Best in Faux’ | Benefit ‘Watts Up’ | Urban Decay Illuminated ‘Aura’ | MAC ‘Pink Nouveau | MAC ‘Creme d’Nude’ | Buxom Lipgloss ‘Samantha’ | Too Faced Flush Blush ‘Peach Beach’ (alternative to rockateur + illuminated) | Costco Makeup Mirror (similar)

    Can you give me the details on your makeup mirror. I have recently been looking for one. Does it have a light?

    • missy March 21, 2015 at 5:15 pm

      It does! It’s from Costco (of all places) but have linked another that I’ve heard amazing things about!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

    Do you know what size barrel from The Jose Eber wand you used here? I have the trio and then I also have the 32mm wand!

    You look gorgeous! Hope you’re feeling great these last few days before baby girl makes her debut! Prayers to you my friend! Xo

      This is the medium sized one (not the large 32)… I actually forgot to run my fingers through to loosen it up. I normally do that post makeup – so the curls here are fresh and not exactly what they look like once completely done.

    Another amazing tutorial! Thanks for sharing Missy!

    Where did you get your makeup mirror from? I love that it’s more industrial looking than some I’ve seen.

    • missy March 21, 2015 at 5:17 pm

      Cathy, you’ll love all the soft shimmer! So pretty! For my lash serum I used LiLash and I almost had to stop using it because my lashes were borderline reaching my eyebrows! ha!

    Hey Missy! Another helpful cute tut 🙂 I just had a baby as well and you mentioned stopping your lash serum. I’ve been using an all natural one that I mixed myself and its bomb if you want to try: half castor oil half coconut oil and a few drops of avocado oil! Mixed in a travel bottle from dollar store- smells awesome and works great!!

    What do you use to curl your hair and how do you curl it?

    • missy October 29, 2015 at 3:36 am

      I use a Jose Eber curling wand (triple interchangeable barrel) and the 10 Min Loose Curl Tutorial I posted a few years back! 🙂

    My skin is fairly oily and all foundations and blush tends to turn orange on my skin. It also doesn’t last very long on my skin. Any tips or products to prevent this from happening? I love all of your tutorials and I am also a blonde. You makeup always looks so perfect!

  • wheat teller February 19, 2017 at 10:48 pm

    Hi Missy! I am just wondering what you use now that they do not make the make up forever aqua matic pencils anymore. I have always used the copper and pink one that you have used in your tutorials and I cannot find a replacement that I like as much as those. Thanks so much for any suggestions.
