Get Ready With Me for Easter

4/5/2015

Hello friends!
Happy Easter to you all! I hope everyone's having a lot of fun and spending plenty of time with their families. Today I decided to share my Easter dinner look. I went for a Parisian style because I love the chic-ness of it. Instructions are below. I hope you enjoy!

Instructions:

[Some steps are not shown in the video due to poor filming quality.]

1.) I began my look with a clean face, my hair pinned back. I used E.l.f. BB Cream (I believe in 'fair').
2.) Next I used Maybelline New York Fit Me! liquid foundation.
3.) I primed my eyes with E.l.f. Eye Primer & Liner Sealer (but I just use the primer side).
4.) Using an angle eye shadow brush, I apply Maybelline New York Fit Me! powder foundation to the area between my brow and my crease.
5.) Next I use a medium shade (not-too-dark, not-too-light) of brown from my E.l.f. Neutral Eyeshadow Palette and apply it thickly in the outer part of my crease and draw it more thinly inward on my crease.
6.) Next I'm using a dark brown from that same palette and applying it just to the outer corners of my lids.
7.) Then I apply a cream shade from that same palette to the inner-to-middle part of my lid.
8.) A step not shown in the video was me applying small cat eyes with my E.l.f liquid eyeliner in 'black'. And curling my lashes.
9.) I applied E.l.f. under eye highlight roughly under my eye, on my nose, above my lip, on my chin, and on my forehead after applying E.l.f. BB Cream to those areas again...I don't know why I did that. xD
10.) Over that, I apply E.l.f. under eye concealer. Woot woot! That part isn't shown.
11.) Next I applied Shany Blusher in a peach shade to my cheeks for a little pop of color. Then I use an E.l.f. blush in "Gotta Glow" as a highlight.
12.) Next I apply E.l.f. Mineral Infused Mascara, then Maybelline New York The Rocket Volum' Express mascara, and then I comb over those with Covergirl Lash Blast Volume mascara since I love that wand!
13.) Then I use my Andis Nano Diamond straightener to style my bangs very vigorously since I started rushing. xD That's why the ending is very abrupt.
14.) At the end I show off some of my outfit for the day. The shirt is one I got from Marshalls for $16.99 I believe, from the brand Cynthia Rowley. The pants are some I've had for a while. They're just skinny and comfy. I don't remember where they're from but the brand is Eci.

Thanks for checking out this post. I hope you're liking this blog. Please leave comments below! I'd love to know if people are reading. Thanks!
