Natural Glam Day Makeup Look

Natural Glam Makeup

This week I’d like to get into some makeup. This look is what I’ll call “Natural Glam Day Look”. You can wear any colored lipstick with the eye colors I’ve applied. My “go-to” makeup is a bronzed and slightly smokey eye with natural-style false lashes to enhance the eyes. You can go with or without the false lashes and it would still look very nice. This is a very quick application which is why I choose this look for days I’d like to look a little more alive but need to get my day started.

I am calling this natural because I am hardly wearing face makeup. I throw on some concealer and the rest of this super easy look. My skin tone and lip and eye coloring looks best in natural colors, I think. With that, I work best with neutral colors, whether it is light or dark and dramatic.

My eyebrows:

Etude House Drawing Eye Brow

I’ve mentioned this product before so I’ll leave this as is. Please leave questions in the comments if you have any!

My eyes:

Maybelline 24 Hour Eyeshadow, Bad To The Bronze

I have also mentioned this product in my Waterproof Favorites. Check out the review for it on that, along with other products, over on that page.

Voberry® Women Girl Lady Big Crisscross False Eyelashes Lashes Voluminous HOT Eye Lashes

I absolutely love these lashes because they work very well, looks like it is worth more than it is priced, and it is so very inexpensive! If you are looking for natural looking lashes that accentuates the eyes, try these out. I only have one pair in the photo, but I like to double it up for evening events. This fills in the gaps of the first pair and darkens them to compliments a smokey eye.

Natural False Lashes

Here is a slightly different eye look but using the lashes. My lashes are lacking so these falsies work perfectly for me. Of course if you have the luscious lashes then these probably won’t do much for you! If you are looking for more dramatic falsies, let me know in the comments. 🙂

Kat Von D Ink Liner

This liquid liner is waterproof with a felt tip applicator. It is pretty easy to use. I use this for days I apply a little more makeup than usual. I don’t wear eyeliner as much as I use to, but when I do I use a kohl liner.

My Lips:

e.l.f. Moisturizing Lipstick in Bordeaux Beauty

These lipsticks are amazing. I cannot believe they are only $3. I CANNOT believe IT!

Natural Glam Set

Clearly, I like e.l.f. I thought it was impossible for any company to make their products cheap and possess the quality of high-end makeup, but I thought wrong. I’m going to try to do an e.l.f. Baked Highlighter post.  I used these items for the look above. The blush and lip are more for Autumn and Winter.

Natural Glam Spring Makeup

Here is a set used for the Spring and Summer look!

This is the natural and light look I do when I don’t really want to think about what I want to do. It’s very easy and quick.

Let me know if you have any questions! I’d love to hear some feedback. Tell or show your go-to look! Until next time!

Also, I am currently setting up my filming studio so please stay tuned for the video on how exactly I do my makeup. I will update this post once I get the video up and live on YouTube.

Snowboarding at Northstar California

Hi beautiful!

I know I haven’t kept up with my weekly posts. 🙁 I just started my classes as a graduate student so I’m still adjusting to my class, study and work schedule. I will be keeping my goal for weekly posts. They will most likely be up by the beginning of the week, except this week :). This week’s “Snowboarding” post is a bit late but the week ahead will be on time! 

Northstar

To start, I went snowboarding a couple of weeks ago! I absolutely love snowboarding! It is super fun. I actually haven’t gone snowboarding for the last 4 years and this was the first time in a long time. I don’t think I’ve lost my touch. 🙂 My family and I went to Northstar California Resort. This was my first time going to Northstar. I’d have to say, you really get what you pay for. There were so many slopes, so many lifts, and the service there was pretty nice! They hold shows at the center of the resort and hand out free food during the afternoon for cold and exhausted guests. 

It was super fun and even other guest were extremely kind. If you were down, everyone would make sure you were okay. It was a nice place to be and a fun place to do these sports. I love it and I will be returning next Winter.

Northstar, S'mores
Bacon S’mores. What?! I was super hungry and it was pretty darn delicious.

Moving forward to preparations, I wore minimal makeup and organized by hair so it wouldn’t be super annoying as I was boarding. I could do a quick get ready with me video to show how exactly I did my makeup but I basically applied sunscreen, spot concealed some areas, and threw on some mascara. You should always apply sunscreen everyday, but I’ll have to admit it seems funny to apply a good sunscreen before going to the snow. However, the sun will always be out during the day (unless you’re in Alaska) and the snow is a great reflector. While you are skiing or snowboarding you will look toward the ground most of the time and the beams from the sun are being reflected into your face by the white snow.

Snowboarding

What I put on my face:

Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer With Broad Spectrum SPF 15

This has been my moisturizer for the last few years. I can’t remember when I started using it but it was a long time ago. I love this moisturizer because it has SPF and it gives a natural glow without making my face feel oily. Aveeno also has a tinted one but I haven’t tried that yet. I think I’d like to try it soon. I really like tinted moisturizers and BB creams.

SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50

My friend, An, actually gave me this product a while ago and it is my favorite facial sunscreen thus far. It’s not at all oily and it is super light on the skin. It’s sold in a squeeze tube and it comes out as a mousse. When I apply it, it is rapidly absorbed into the skin. Unlike other face sunscreens, this one doesn’t leave my skin feeling like it’s going to break out any second!

Etude House Drawing Eye Brow

I use to use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, but then I discovered this one; Etude House brow pencil. This is a Korean brand and I purchase it from Amazon. Sometimes it’s available with Prime and other times it isn’t and might take a few weeks to deliver but it’s so cheap I buy a couple at a time. The shape of this pencil starts out as a triangle. So, it has a pointed tip then angles down for an easy application. If you are familiar with ABH Brow Definer then you’ll know what this one looks like. It’s funny because the Brow Definer was released years after the Etude House’s Drawing Eye Brow.

Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25

I’ve been using this for a while now. Sometimes they have package deals on amazon. I use a lot of different lip balms, but I like this one in particular because it has SPF and my lips are super sensitive to those sun rays. Jack Black also has a lot of different scents and they aren’t too potent but they smell delicious. My favorite is the black berry.

Here are the things I wore to keep dry and warm:

The North Face WOMEN’S RESOLVE 2 JACKET White

This jacket pretty much goes everywhere with me. It goes camping, hiking, sailing, and to all other activities. It’s very light and the white color reflects the sunlight which help keep my arms and upper body cool. It’s pretty waterproof and it is a windbreaker so it keep me comfortable anywhere.

Boulder Gear Pinnacle Insulated Ski Bib

I have no idea what brand my snowboarding pants are and they were given to me so I’m not sure where to get it. However, I did track down a similar pair. These are actually cute and I might purchase these myself once the ones I have now give out.

That pretty much wraps it up! Until next time! Hopefully I’ll be posting a video soon, I’ll keep you updated. Be sure to follow me on twitter, @czeliot, to keep up with when I’ll be posting. Bye for now!
