Embrace Your Natural Winter Flush With Baby Pink Makeup

Published on by Crystal LeeLeave a comment

The winter season is often a dominance of darker and more dramatic makeup looks. Yet, the timeless appeal of a natural aesthetic remains unrivaled. As temperatures drop, there’s a new way to infuse warmth into your complexion. Enter baby pink—a gentler, more demure approach to winter glam that we cannot get enough of. Drawing inspiration from the “I’m Cold” makeup and monochromatic trends, this softer look seamlessly transitions from day to night. Below, we unveil our favorite baby pink makeup products to achieve this soft glam.

Cheeks

If the chilly weather gives your cheeks a rosy natural glow, and you are a fan of the rosy cheek look, baby pink makeup is tailor-made for you. When aiming to infuse a burst of color into your complexion, the key is to replicate your natural blush tones. If you are a powder blush fan, Benefit’s Dandelion blush will provide that coquette-like coloration. Liquid enthusiasts can achieve a similar effect with Nars Afterglow Orgasm – peachy pink with golden shimmer. Looking for the most natural option? Consider Drunk Elephant’s Rosi Glow Drops – a serum that adds a rosy allover flush. 

Eyes

A baby pink eyeshadow is a soft, warm alternative to your neutrals. For those who prefer a quick and effortless routine, the Glossier Lidstar Cream Eyeshadow is an ideal on-the-go option. Choose the shade “slip” for a charming, light pink touch. Are you drawn to a glitter-infused eye look? Then Kaja Eye Bento in “Rosewater” is a must-have addition to your collection. For a deeper take on the baby pink trend, the Huda Beauty Matte Obsessions palette offers everything you need to bring this captivating look to life.

Lips

For a full baby pink moment, don’t forget the lips. This is where you can layer products depending on your desired outcome. The Rare Beauty Lip Soufflé Confident – rose mauve is ideal for those who prefer a matte finish. On the other end of the spectrum, the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm Orchid – mauve gives you the glossy baby pink pout. While the YSL Rouge Volupté Lipstick in shade 44 is a nice balance between the two aforementioned products.

Mascara-free makeup is the new trend for a natural look

Published on by Crystal LeeLeave a comment

A new trend was born: makeup without mascara.

For many people, mascara is one of the basics, even when making a natural look using only the must-haves. This trend seeks to give a vibe of freshness, cleanness, and minimalism that truly is achieved in just 5 minutes.

Your inspiration to wear makeup without mascara

Hailey Bieber is one of those who wears her makeup without mascara. Some say it makes you look more tired, but wearing sleepy eyes can be a nice twist on your look, like Emma Chamberlain or Billie Eilish.

Many girls have also joined in on TikTok, where they show that they love this change. In their routine, you can see that they have dewy skin with makeup not makeup, but more natural by skipping that step. Many do it because they want to be able to emphasize other parts of the face, such as the lips, eyebrows, or cheeks.

Skin Preparation

Start your routine by carefully cleansing your face to remove impurities. Then, apply your serum, a moisturizer suitable for your skin type, and sunscreen to prepare your skin for makeup. Moisturizing is essential for a smooth, long-lasting application.

By not wearing mascara, there will be more attention for the rest of the face, take that into account. A glowy and dewy skin is essential for this look; it’s very modern and chic.

Base & Concealer

Use a light foundation or concealer to even out your skin tone and hide imperfections. The key here is to stay natural, so don’t overdo it. Blend the products well for an even and fresh look. For an even more natural look, skip this step.

Eyeshadow & Eyeliner

Explore with eyeshadows that complement your eye color and skin tone. You can even go for bolder shades without using mascara. You can play around with different colors and textures depending on the occasion. Since you don’t wear mascara, eyeliner can take center stage. Whether you go for a subtle line for an everyday look or experiment with eyeliners of different colors and shapes.

Our best advice is to apply a metallic eyeshadow with your fingers, cover the eyelid, and blend it to the crease.

Eyebrows and eyelashes?

Shape and style your eyebrows, it doesn’t matter if they are not so full, you can wear a Kate Moss look. But if you prefer, gently fill in the gaps for well-defined brows. Add a touch of highlighter to the tear duct and under the eyebrow to highlight and open your eyes. This step adds a touch of glowy and a bigger eyes effect.

And yes, even though we said the look is mascara-free, that doesn’t mean they overlook it. One option is to stiffen them, of course, it’s optional. This step is helpful for those looking for a more open-eyed effect without resorting to mascara. Consider applying natural oils, like castor oil to keep your lashes strong and healthy. In addition, that glow gives it a longer sitting effect.

Finishing Touch

Complete your look with blush for a healthy look, and for your lips, line them and put on a sheer gloss. If you want your makeup to last longer, consider using a setting spray to keep it in place throughout the day or night.

Spice Up Your Look With The Cinnamon Girl Makeup Trend

Published on by Crystal Lee1 Comment

Lana del Rey released “Cinnamon Girl” in 2019, and its cultural impact continues to make waves today. Recently, a new makeup trend emerged on TikTok, and it shares the name as the titular song. Cinnamon girl makeup is a warm, monochromatic look reminiscent of the fragrant spice. It focuses on rich, decadent shades of brown prominently featured on the lips, lids, and cheeks. It also pairs well with cable knit sweaters, shearling coats, and other cold-weather favorites, making this the opportunistic time to try the trend yourself.

What Is “Cinnamon Spice Girl” Makeup?

The trend is the sister cousin to TikTok’s Latte Makeup. Created by creator Rachel Rigler, the look comprised of earthy terracotta and deep mustard pigments that evoke the fall season in all its glory.

How To Get The “Cinnamon Spice Girl” Lewk?

Start by mattifying your skin with the Milk Makeup Pore Eclipse Primer, which ensures a smooth, velvety base. Use a light layer of foundation to even out the skin – but not too much because the goal is to keep the skin flushed and natural. From there, you can spot conceal where necessary. Now, it’s time to add warmth to your complexion. Use a bronzer stick and apply it to all the places where light typically would hit your face (namely the forehead, cheeks, and nose). Follow up with a rose-tinted blush and blend upwards for a natural flush. Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush 10 Rosé Latte – soft bronzed nude and MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush Mood – soft burgundy are two great cream blush options for this cinnamon girl makeup.

Next, reach for a clear brow gel to fluff up the eyebrows and frame your face. Use a medium brown eyeshadow but stick to a shade as close to cinnamon as possible. You can utilize your fingers to sweep this all across the eyelid. Once that’s complete, curl your eyelashes and add a few coats of mascara. Before finishing up, it’s imperative to add a spice-inspired twist to your pout. A warm brown lipstick and lipgloss combo will make the cinnamon girl makeup come to life.

I’m completely obsessing over this Cinnamon Spice Girl makeup! I’m using my favorite @Lancôme products to achieve the perfect Fall look! Fun tip: Layer your favorite mascaras to make this look stand out. I layered the Cils BOOSTER XL Primer, the Définicils Mascara, and the Lash Idôle Mascara – this combination lifts and lengthens my lashes instantly with just the first coat and it lasts up to 24hrs without any flaking or smudging! #cinnamonspicegirl #cinnamonspicegirlmakeup #fallmakeup #LancomePartner #LancomeLashes #LancomeMascara #mascaracocktailing
