TheBalm Nude Beach Look #2

Every day Glam Look

Hello everyone! Welcome back! Today I have another look using my TheBalm Nude Beach palette. This is more of a sultry day appropriate glam look. If you would like to know how I achieved this look, keep on reading!

To start off, I applied my Nars concealer as an eye shadow primer and set that with my Lorac Pro shade in Cream.

I took the shade bodacious (a warm, burnt orange type shade) and applied that to the crease. 

I took the shade Brave, which is a shimmery burgundy brown and applied that to the outer crease and blended it into that burnt orange shade.

I then took the shade Brazen, which is a dark matte brown (kind of like espresso from the Lorac palette) and applied that to the outer V to darken that up a bit.

For the lid, I applied the shade Babe, which is a shimmery peachy shade.

To conceal my under eyes, I applied benefit Boi-ing airbrush concealer with my ring finger and patted that down to blend into the skin.

On top of the benefit concealer, I applied Nars Creamy Radiant concealer in vanilla and blended that out using a beautyblender.

For foundation, I used my Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation in fair beige and blended that out with my damp beautyblender.

I set my under eyes with my Laura Mercier translucent powder and an angled fluffy brush.

To set the face, I used a big fluffy powder brush and my Physician's Formula pressed powder.

To fill in my brows, I used the shade Espresso from my Lorac Pro palette.

I set that with my essence Make me Brow gel. 

I used the shade light pink as my brow bone highlight, I also applied a tiny bit of this to my inner corner.

For bronzer, I used the shade Taupe from Lorac Pro palette.

For blush, I used my iSOCiETY COSMETICS blush in lady bug and applied that with a big blush brush.

For a subtle highlight, I used Laura Mercier highlight in shade 01. 

I set my face using my Mario Badescu rose water spray.

I lined my eyes using my Tarte Sex Kitten felt tip liner.

For mascara, I used my UD troublemaker mascara (applied two coats to the top lashes). If you want a more dramatic look, you can apply some falsies.

To finalize the look, I applied the Kat Von D liquid lipstick in the shade Project Chimps (this was LE but I believe it is now going to be a permanent shade!).

I hope you all liked this look! As usual, thanks so much for reading!

TheBalm Nude Beach Look #1

Natural Every day look using TheBalm Nude Beach

Hello everyone! I am here with my first look using TheBalm Nude Beach eye shadow palette. I opted for a more "natural" look keeping it sans eye liner and a light lip. If you would like to see how I achieved it, keep on reading!

I started off prepping my eye lids. I used my Nars Creamy Radiant concealer in fair and set that with the shade Brilliant (a yellow cream matte shade).

I then applied the shade Bold (a warm light brown similar to the shade Taupe from Lorac Pro) in the crease.

I took the shade Bodacious which is a slight warmer burt orange/brown shade and applied that to the outer crease.

I applied the shade Brave which is a shimmer bordeaux brown and applied that to the outer v. I then took a fluffier brush and blended that into the crease.  

I took the shade Braniac which is a warm shimmery rose shade and applied that to the outer lid.

I then applied Buff (a light shimmery pink) to the inner lid.

For concealer, I applied Benefit airbrush concealer with my finger and then the Nars Creamy radiant concealer with a beautyblender.

For foundation, I mixed my Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation in fair beige and my Wet n Wild foundation in Shell ivory. I blended that out with a damp beautyblender.

To set my under eyes, I used the Laura Mercier loose setting powder and a beautyblender.

To set the face, I used my Physician's formula pressed powder and a big fluffy brush.

I used a clean brush to brush off the excess under eye powder.

I used the shade espresso from my Lorac Pro palette to fill in my brows.

I set my brows with my essence brow gel.

For a brow bone highlight, I used the shade light pink from Lorac Pro palette.

For contour/bronzer, I used my Taupe shade from Lorac Pro.

I used my iSOCiETY COSMETICS blush in lady bug (a terracotta red) and applied that to my cheeks.

For highlight, I used iSOCiETY COSMETICS eye shimmer in oh baby and applied that with my ring finger.

I set my makeup with my Mario Badescu rose water spray.

I applied UD troublemaker mascara (two coats) to the top lashes only.

To finish off the look, I used my UD Trivial liquid lipstick. This is a light pink shade. 

I hope you enjoyed this look! I definitely did. I enjoyed this palette, the shadows are very pigmented and apply/blend very easily.

Thanks for reading!
