Spring Daytime Makeup Look

I’m excited to share this makeup and product post with you all and thrilled to partner with Nordstrom to bring you a new, fresh, springtime, glowy look!  I’ve been so drawn to highlighting and natural contouring as we head into the warmer months and I love how sun-kissed this look turned out.

I’m not your out-of-the-box makeup artist.  What I share, the products I use and the way I apply can translate to someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup, or someone who loves to wear makeup without the “stage” effect.

I’m very thankful to Nordstrom for believing in me as a makeup artist and allowing me to share some of my favorite products with you all!  If you’ve been a reader for awhile, then you know that I shop Nordstrom quiet frequently for makeup, perfumes, clothes, shoes, etc.  I value their free shipping and return policy.  Especially with makeup products – if a product doesn’t suit your needs they are very accommodating with their return and exchange policy.

Step #7: Charlotte Tilbury | Wonder Glow | Primer | *OBSESSED with this product – see below for more infoatmion. I apply directly with my fingers. 

Wonderglow is a visionary new hybrid primer that combines an anti-aging elixir and complexion-enhancing light diffusers to turn dull, dehydrated skin around in a flash.

It transforms drab, dry, sleep-deprived skin using breakthrough light-reflecting microspheres, collagen-boosting peptides and patented wrinkle-reducing ingredients. Its translucent formula blends seamlessly into any skin tone while light diffusers blur away lines and add luminosity.

For a natural, dewy look, apply Wonderglow after your moisturizer to the entire face using your hands or a foundation brush. For an all-day luminous look, wear it under foundation and finish with a powder to set. As an evening pick-me-up, dab Wonderglow onto the tops of your cheekbones and brow bone to perk up your complexion and add glow.

Step #8: NARS | Radiant Cream Concealer | Color: Vanilla | *I forgot how much I love this concealer.  Brush: Sigma Beauty F79 

Step #9: BECCA | Soft Light Blurring Powder | Color: Golden Hour | *You all know how much I love this powder!  It’s not going anywhere in my kit!  Brush: Luxie 502 $18

Step #16: Supergroup! Defense Refresh Setting Spray SPF 50 | *Spray this setting spray over the face and neck.  I used this ALL spring and summer long!  It’s an innovative three-in-one mist sets makeup, helps control oil and shine and refreshes your defense against photo-aging UV rays with an uplifting scent of rosemary and mint. It’s the best way to reapply UV protection throughout the day without disturbing your makeup.

Step #17: Benefit They’re Real Tinted Lash Primer | *This is the trick to dramatically boost lash length and separation!  It’s also tinted so you can wear it alone! 

Step #18: Benefit Roller Lash | *My favorite mascara of all time!  After you’ve primed your lashes, let the primer sit for 60 seconds before applying your mascara.

Step #19: Urban Decay Lipstick | Color: Backtalk | *One of my favorite colors – not too pink, not too nude, but the perfect daytime color.

Most of you recall, I love Jo Malone scents.  I’ve had Woodsage & Sea Salt for years.  It’s a scent that can be worn all year round and my husband uses it as well.  The Jo Malone perfumes smell great when layered together as well.  I have the Nectarine Blossom & Honey as well and love wearing them together.

If you want a super lux lotion for a guest bathroom or your vanity – I LOVE the Jo Malone hand lotion.  I have English Pear & Freesia Body & Hand Lotion.

I love the Diptyque candle!  Have y’all smelled these before?  Once I burn through mine I clean the wax out and use them as vases.

I always refresh my face with a face mist throughout the day.  It rejuvenates the completion, rebalances oils and resets the ingredients that are sitting on the surface of your skin.  I love using the Herbivore Botanicals Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Face Mist and apply this PRIOR to my primer/ foundation and throughout the day.  On days when I wearing my hair in beach, tousled curls, I’ll add a few sprits to my hair!

If you’ve been following for awhile, them you know how much I also love Supergroup! Defense Refresh Setting Spray SPF 50!  Instead of constantly reapplying sunscreen, I just mist my face and it doesn’t destroy your makeup!

I love Bobbi Borwn’s Extra Lip Tint (I have color Bare Pink).   T’s a lightweight, sheer and ultra-moisturizing lip tint that has all the benefits of your go-to balm plus a stain.  Great for a daytime look!  Plus, it’s SUPER nourishing to the lips!

There are three colors available: Bare Melon, Bare Popsicle and Bare Pink!  The subtle stain blends in with your natural lip color so it’s instantly your perfect shade. It smoothes, softens and comforts lips instantly and over time, and you’ll see fewer fine lines, fuller lips and zero flakes. While the formula is working its magic, the soft pigment blends with your lips’ natural tone for a just-for-you stain.
