One Brand Makeup Look / L'ORÉAL

Hi everyone! Today's post is another One Brand makeup look just like the one I did for Maybelline. This one is about one of my favorite brands, L'Oreal. 

To get this look, I used five L'Oreal products. To start out I made sure my face was moisturized before going in with the Infallible Pro-Matte 24 Hour Foundation. This foundation only costs $12.99 and the bottle lasts forever! This is one of my favorite foundations because it stays on all day and has a range of 12 shades perfect for any skin tone. I wear 101 'Classic Ivory'. To blend this into my skin I used a beauty blender, which leaves a really smooth finish. 

Because the finish of the foundation is matte, I usually skip a setting powder. Instead, I moved onto my eyes. (my eyebrows were Glossier's Boy Brow) 

To get this look, I used both the Infallible Silkissime Eyeliner in True Teal and the Infallible Lacquer Gel Liner in Espresso. I used the gel liner to line both my top and bottom lid lightly and then went in with the Silkissime liner on my upper lid to create a fun and striking eyeliner look. The gel liner, which stays on all day, creates a great primer for the teal liner for added longevity.

To finish off the eyes I applied one of my favorite mascaras, the L'Oreal Telescopic. Even with a few simple coats of this product, your lashes will instantly lengthen and look incredible. I really love this mascara and often, on a simple makeup day, I'll wear this alone with some concealer and brow product.

To finish off this one product makeup look, I used the Colour Riche La Lacque Lip Pen in Choco-Lacque. I love this lip pen because it's so pigmented and you only need one swipe to fully coat your lips. 

  

 So that's the finished makeup look for L'Oreal. I love this brand for its quality, affordability, and the fact that everything I wear from them is long-lasting and beautiful!

Hope you all enjoyed. What should my next #OneBrandLook be?

One Brand Makeup Look / MAYBELLINE

Hi everyone! Today's post is a makeup look using just one brand, Maybelline! Maybelline has consistently been one of my favorite brands because of their amazing products and affordable prices. Since I have so many amazing Maybelline products, I thought I would do a fun makeup tutorial using them, and them alone. 

To start this look, I primed my T-zone using the Maybelline Baby Skin Primer. It leaves a perfect base for the rest of your makeup. I didn't want a heavy foundation so I used the Dream Fresh BB Cream to create a seamless base. Next, I went in with two concealers. First, to conceal my blemishes and dark circles, I used the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (no surprise here!) and then the Better Skin Concealer to add a bit of brightness under my eyes. It's great because it's so lightweight that it doesn't feel heavy to add onto the other products. 

To finish off my face, I set my under eyes, forehead, and the rest of my T-zone with the Dream Wonder Powder. 

Next up, I'm using The Nudes Palette to create this beautiful gold eye look. But before that, I used the dark brown matte shadow in the palette to fill in my eyebrows. I used a spooli brush to comb through them, making the hairs appear more natural!

For my eyes, I first went in with the light brown matte shade into my crease, blending it until the color got darker and darker. To give it more definition, I went into the crease with the same brown matte shade I used for my eyebrows, darkening it further. When I found it was dark enough, I then went in with a flat eyeshadow brush and packed the gold shimmery shadow from the palette onto my lid. To give it even more shine, I wet my brush beforehand, making the color pop. 

To finish off my lids, I blended some of the gold and browns into my lower lash line, to bring the look together. 

Because I wanted the gold shadow to be the main attraction for my lids, I chose not to use liner for this look. If I had decided on it, I would've used a brown pencil liner to smudge out the look.

Next up I used Maybelline's Great Lash Mascara in 'Blackest Black' to lengthen and volumize my lashes. This is one of my favorite mascaras of all time because of its consistency and ability to keep my lashes looking thick and lengthened all day long. I love it!

For a bit of face shimmer, I went in with the shimmery white shadow from The Nudes Palette to give my cheeks a bit of highlight. I love this palette because as you can see, I used it not only for my eyes, but my brows and cheeks! It's incredibly versatile.

For a final touch, I wanted a bold lip so I used my favorite lip product at the moment, the Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid Lip in 'Orange Shot'. It's so easy to apply, looks amazing, and stays all day!

I hope you guys enjoyed this Maybelline makeup look! Do you have some favorite brands that you could do a #OneBrandLook with as well?
