Perfect Waterproof & Summer Look

Hi all! I thought that today I'd put up the perfect makeup look for you guys using a mix of Holy Grail products and Newly Found Loves!

Begin by preparing your face by washing, moisturizing it and using any other facial products that are apart of your everyday skin routine.

Now, grab your foundation sponge and soak it with water, squeezing out any excess water. For foundation, I highly recommend CoverGirl's Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 foundation. You won't have to frog around with any primer, because it's already in the foundation. There is also concealer in there, but I like to add a bit more under the eyes for that well rested look. Blend in your foundation using that sponge.

Next, grab NYX's Incredible Waterproof Concealer Stick. Apply this onto any blemishes and under the eyes. Blend in with your fingers and sponge, depending on what you prefer.

Set all of that with Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder. Use a large powder brush to blend out the powder.

Cream blush will outlast powder. Try Maybelline's Dream Bouncy Blush in "Rose Petal". Simply apply it to the apples of your cheeks blending upwards towards your ears using your fingers.

 Just to totally lock everything in, spray a couple spritzes of Urban Decay's All Nighter Spray.

Let's move onto the eyes. First, prime your eyes using NYX's Proof It! Waterproof Eye Shadow Primer. Swipe this all over the lid. Blend up towards your brow bone using your ring finger.

Now, take NYX's Jumbo Eye Pencil in "Milk" and swipe this a couple of times strictly on the lid. Blend up towards your brow bone. What this does is even out your eyelid and provide a tackiness for the eye shadow to adhere to.

Next, grab Urban Decay's Naked Basics palette, and with a large and fluffy blending brush, blend the color "Naked 2" into your crease and only your crease.

Now, take L'Oréal's Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow in "Amber Rush" to your eyelid using a flat shader brush. Strictly keep it on the lid.

Now, taking the same brush that you did your crease with, blend Amber Rush and Naked 2 together at the crease.

Even though this eye look is quite easy to create and recreate, we are going to add some winged eyeliner to make it look as though we invested in more time than we actually did. If you prefer a brush tip liquid eyeliner, try Wet 'n' Wild's H20 Proof Liquid Liner. I have used the original countless times, and it is one of my favorites. If you prefer a felt tip, use Jesse's Girl Waterproof Eyeliner, which is a felt tip in marker format. (Winged liner tutorial up soon!)

Let your eyeliner dry. Now curl your lashes. Right now, I seriously have been loving, and have been quite pleasantly surprised with! It does a fantastic job!

Follow up curling with Maybelline's The Falsies Big Eyes mascara.

Lastly, fill in your brows using NYX's For Those Movie Star Brows Eyebrow Cake. To waterproof your brows, set them with NYX's Eyebrow Shaper. Wax has enough a waterproof property to seal the color into your brows.

If you really want your lips to stay on, use a stain, like Benefit's Benetint.

Enjoy! :)
