Aside from delicious drama, TSITP serves some of the best late summer makeup looks. From sunkissed cheeks to perfectly subtle eyeliner, the secret to Belly’s look is in its minimalism. Whether she’s at the beach, on the boardwalk or headed to class, she always looks put together without overdoing it. Think of her makeup as something that enhances, not hides. Follow these key steps…
The Effortless Glow: Skin First
Think of the saying: Be high maintenance to stay low maintenance. While it may seem easier to just cover up with concealer, achieving and maintaining Belly’s carefree glow means prioritizing skincare. Wash and prep your skin every night and every morning with a quality cleanser, moisturizer and SPF. Then just add a tinted moisturizer or SPF as your base. Cream blush is perfect to create a glowy, sun-kissed flush across your cheeks and nose. Finish it off with a dewy highlighter on your cheekbones and nose for that soft end-of-summer radiance.
Eyes Like Summer: Soft And Subtle
Belly is the master of balancing clean skin with just a touch of eye definition. Use a smudgy brown liner for the softest and subtlest of wings, blending out with a touch of eyeshadow in a neutral tone like brown or nude. Curl your lashes and apply waterproof mascara. Complete the look with a dab of highlighter or lighter shadow in your inner corners to make your eyes look brighter and pop.
Brows That Breathe
Don’t go all out on your brows for this look. All you’ll need is a brush and pencil or gel for an airy and natural feel. First, brush up your brows to give them lift and definition. Then, go in with a touch of your brow pencil to lightly fill them in.
Lips That Kissed The Sun
This is what ties the whole look together. To give your lips just the right amount of color and shine while keeping things natural and understated, opt for a tinted balm or glossy stain in a rosy, coral or berry shade. Keep it in your purse or pocket bc you want your lips to stay hydrated, kissable *and* low-maintenance.
