She has a gift and a heart of gold, and lucky for you, Tess has provided us all with a highly detailed step by step tutorial to re-creating these everyday glam looks. So grab your makeup, grab your phone, iPad, or laptop, head to a mirror, and get glam! When you're done send Tessie some love and like her FB page, we promise you'll be glad you did! Stay tuned for looks to go with this everyday glam makeup....
Darlene:
- Prep face with primer, I like Sephora's Anti Shine Foundation Primer // Applied with Shu Uemura Natural 18 Goat Foundation Brush (my all time favorite foundation brush! $42).
- Prep eyes with MAC Paint Pot in Painterly from lash line to brow bone // Applied with MAC brush #252 Large Shader
- Use MAC #252 Large Shader Brush to apply MAC Vapour Eye Shadow under brow bone & in inner corner of eye to highlight & brighten eye area. You can also order MAC Vapour Eye Shadow pans from MAC to create your own custom pallet.
- Use MAC #224 Tapered Blending Brush to apply MAC Texture Eye Shadow in crease
- Use MAC #252 Large Shader Brush to apply MAC Golden Olive Pigment on eyelid. Typically, I go back & blend the crease color -texture- to get an all over even blended look. Use tip of MAC #252 brush with Golden Olive pigment to smoke out bottom lash line.
- Use either side (matte or pearl) of Shu Uemura Eye Light Pencil in White to line the bottom water line of your lashes to help eyes appear brighter
- Curl lashes to add volume, I like Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler. Prep lashes with Chanel Beaute Des Cils Nourishing Mascara Base. I love this step because it creates such an impact on even lusher, flirtier lashes! Finish with a black mascara of your choice! On Darlene I used Benefit They're Real, I also like Lancome Oscillation.
- Line top lash line with MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack // Applied with MAC #209 Eyeliner Brush.
- Use slanted tweezers to grab & glue false individual lashes & fill in lash line to create full & flirty lash effect. // Glue: Duo eyelash adhesive in dark tone $5.49 // Lashes: Ardell Individual Medium Flares in Black $3.89
- Fill in brows with brow powder or pencil of your choice, for Darlene I used MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Brunette
- Use Shu Uemura 18 Goat Foundation brush to apply Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer all over face where coverage is needed.
- Apply brightening concealer under eyes, down the nose, above lip on cupid's bow to create highlight & blend, I like Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Brightening Eye Perfector Broad Spectrum SPF 25.
- Use MAC Bronzer in Refined Golden around face where sun would naturally tan (temples, under cheekbone, under jawline, down neck) to contour.
- Apply a Pop of Bobbi Brown Blush in Nude Peach // Applied with MAC #116 Blush Brush
- Set face with a translucent powder for a flawless finish, I like Neutrogena Shine Control Powder.
- Fill in lips with NARS Honolulu Honey Lipstick. Add a pop of MAC Cremesheen Glass in Right Image on the top & bottom center of lips so that lips appear fuller
