More 10 Minute Makeup - Light, Summery, and Fast

Hello to all my glam girlies and guys!!

It was another hot day here in Montreal and I was not in the mood at all to do heavy makeup, so I thought I would make the 10 Minute Makeup post into a series or something. Whereas yesterday's look was very professional looking and very natural, today's is going to have some color!! Because it's not a summer makeup look without a bit of color.

I want to apologize again for the last post being posted super late. My camera batteries died on the 2nd to last shot and the whole next day was a bit busy with all this window business.

I also have a very important question for you. I am seriously thinking about getting into the whole youtube thing. For years I've thought about it but I was never in a good place to be able to do it and now I finally am. I want you, the readers, to tell me what the first video should be. Should it be a makeup tutorial? What kind of makeup? Nails? A random vlog? Leave your suggestions here in the comments, or over on my Facebook Page, Steph Stud Makeup. You can also follow me on twitter, @stephstudenny and use the hashtag #stephstudrequests to let me know what kind of tutorial or post you'd like to see as my first video. I really do appreciate thoughts and suggestions and I want to know what you want to see!!


More 10 Minute Makeup - Light, Summer, and Fast

The products I am using today are almost the same as yesterday's. I'm just a little bit happy with the new Chanel stuff I bought but I'll try to use other stuff next time haha. I'm using the same MAC Concealer and Too Faced Tinted BB Cream on my face. I like to wear something light and the BB cream has SPF 20. It feels great on my face, it is very sheer though so if you have redness or other problems, I would wear something with a bit more coverage. MAC Studio Finish Concealer is the best for covering redness, pimples, etc though I'm not using that today. I'm really loving the Chanel Joues Contraste Blush in 64 Pink Explosion, it's such a nice pink color and it looks beautiful on my skin. It's also dark enough that darker girls can pull this off too. I can't wait to try it with my usual foundation routine to see how nice it is on a flawless face. I'm also using the Too Faced Bronzed and Poreless bronzer to lightly contour the face again. I also didn't use any primer again, though I should have. When I do fast, I tend to skip on face primer, but not on eye primer.

Now onto the eyes. They are pink and blue! The list of products might seem long but it isn't. If you want the colors to pop and not crease, I recommend using a primer. You want to apply Pink Freeze onto the inner and middle part of your eyelid and into the crease and just a little bit past. You also apply it on the inner corner of the bottom lid. Then you apply Tilt to the outer part of the lid and up into the crease, past the pupil of your eye. You want the pink and blue to blend together when they meet. You also apply Tilt to the remaining part of your bottom lid. Then you take Seedy Pearl and apply it above your crease and basically anywhere where there is no eyeshadow. You also blend it into the pink and blue colors. Touch up the pink and blue eyeshadows as needed. If you really want your brow bones to pop, add a touch of Phloof! on the high points of your brow bone. Take a black eyeliner and do the top waterline only. This will make your lashes seem fuller. Don't forget about your eyebrows, fill them in lightly using a pencil. Lastly, put a couple coats of mascara on and you're done!

An alternative to the blue would be to use Aquadisiac or Steamy with the pink, Pink Freeze. I've done a look using pink and green using the same techniques shown here and it's beautiful. I used Tilt because I had never used it before and wanted to find a way to wear it. So if you don't like blue, you can always try with green, and of course, send me a picture of it!

I hope you enjoyed this look and thank you for reading and thanks again for your support. I'd love it if you sent it your versions of this look, or your perfect summer makeup look. How do you survive the heat without your makeup melting away? I think that the lighter you go, the better your look will be, especially in case of accidental smudging or creasing. If you're going swimming or out to the beach, make sure you wear a waterproof mascara and even waterproof makeup if you have.

Just a quick reminder to please let me know what you think I should do for my first video. Do you want a makeup tutorial? A vlog? A nail tutorial? A haul? A best of? Suggest anything! You can "Like" my Facebook Page, Steph Stud Makeup and write to me there. You can also follow me on twitter, @stephstudenny and use the hashtag #stephstudrequests so I can find your suggestions more easily. And of course, you can leave me a comment on this blog.

My next post will be my 2nd Shopping List post where I show you what new products are coming out that I wish I had! It isn't a normal shopping list where you buy all the items, it's more of a wishlist. The last one I did was a long time ago and I didn't realize how much new stuff has made the list. I also explain why I want a certain item. It isn't strictly makeup, there are a couple nail products I want. I hope you enjoy it.

10 Minute Makeup - Light, Work Appropriate, and Fast for the Gal on the Go

Hi glam babes!!

[I forgot to include the Too Faced Primed and Poreless Powder in my list of products. Sorry!]

[I wrote this a couple days ago and meant to post it yesterday but my camera batteries died. I couldn't post it earlier because we're still installing the new windows and I had to help out with some stuff. So here's the post finally!]

Today I'm going to show you what I wear when I have to get out the door fast. It's a light makeup look and it's more natural looking than what I typically do. Forget the luminizer and bronzer, baby! This type of look is great for a hot summer day, and it was pretty hot here today. I'm not wearing much makeup at all so it's great for the gal on the go. I actually really ended up liking this look a lot that I decided to do a post on this. When I did my makeup, my goal was to get out the door fast and never mind if it looks good enough to be in a post. When I got compliments on the eyes, I figured why not I'll do a post on this fast look.

I didn't use any primers because I was in a hurry and wasn't planning on doing my eyes except for the eyeliner, but as I was doing the eyeliner I thought "Oh wouldn't a touch of Shroom look nice on the lids?" which turned into a whole eye look. So I'd advise you to use primer before doing an eye look.

no shadow primer and no bronzer

So it turns out I really liked how this look turned out so I'm wearing it again today. I had done this look yesterday. I will show you both yesterday's and today's so you can see little differences. I will tell you how I did yesterday's look below and I will list the added products in square brackets [ ]. I wore everything I wore yesterday along with the addition of eye primer and bronzer. I find that the eye primer really made a big difference. The eyeshadows popped out more and they did not crease at all by the end of the day, whereas yesterday's creased quite a bit. So if you want a softer look, ditch the primer. I added bronzer to contour the face a bit and I used an extremely light hand. It was even hotter outside today so I used less bb cream today so it is more sheer than yesterday. I gotta say, this is my perfect light summer look.

with shadow primer and bronzer

Basically this look is all about contouring the eyes and creating that perfect cat eye. By using a light color on the lid and a darker color in the crease, you create depth and make your eyes look bigger. Since your eyebrows are what frames your eyes, I lightly colored mine in with a pencil and I used a shimmery pink eyeshadow to highlight underneath my brow. I used Fluidline to create that perfect cat eye wing. Follow the line up from where your bottom lash line ends to perk up your eyes and make them look like they're going up. You want it to lift the outer eye, not make it look like its drooping. Go in real thin in the inner corner, and remember that you can also tightline your upper lashes. I also did my bottom eyelid by using a pencil eyeliner instead of the Fluidline. I used Engraved to tightline because the sparkles from Black Swan irritate my contact lenses. I used Black Swan on my bottom lids. You can always use Fluidline instead of the two pencils. I prefer pencils because they are less irritating to my contact lenses. I finished off my eyes with a couple coats of mascara.

For the face, I didn't really do much because I knew I would be trying some blushes on. I basically left the house with just some concealer on under my eyes and some BB cream. I ended up trying on Chanel's Joues Contraste Blush in 64 Pink Explosion and I loved the color. It's baked so it comes on really soft and it's buildable too. I can't wait to try it again. I thought it was such a lovely pink color. There's sparkles in the pan but it doesn't come on shimmery. I didn't use any luminizer or bronzer today. For the lips, I also tried on a lipstick at Chanel, it's a Coco Rouge Shine Lipstick in 68 Candeur and it is such a nice light pink color. It was love at first sight and now I can't stop wearing it. And yes I know Chanel is pricey but I only own 5 makeup products. It's not like I have their whole collection or anything crazy like that.

Thanks for reading and do let me know if you liked this 10 Minute Makeup Look. I really loved how the eyes were simple but yet so elegant. They really add depth to the eyes and make them stand out more. A basic cat eye wing is classic. Did you like the eyes? Would you do them differently and how? I also really liked the Chanel blush, I thought it was such a beautiful pink color. It adds brightness to the face and really brings the look together. What do you think of the fancy blush? If you want, you can do a slight contour with a matte bronzer that is closer to your skin tone as opposed to too dark. I also really liked the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick in 68 Candeur. It was such a pretty pink color and I think it really adds to the natural but very chic summer makeup look.

I don't know if you can see the difference between the two, but with the eyeshadow primer, the eyeshadows pop more. So it depends what kind of look you're going for. Subtle or pop. I also find that a touch of bronzer gives the face some depth. I think with and without are both nice, it depends on the look that you are going for.

The next post I'm doing is another simple 10 Minute Makeup Look but it is brighter and more summery looking. Meaning, there are colors! For a sneak peak, check out my Facebook Page.
