Meet Your New Go-To Beauty Look For Winter

Photo via: Byrdie

Every winter, we come across a new beauty look that becomes our go-to for the rest of the season. This year, we are loving this warm, romantic look. It not only looks beautiful, but it is also super easy to pull off. To start, you'll need a good brow pencil to fill in your brows for a polished feel. For your eyes. try a neutral peach eyeshadow for a subtle swipe of color over the lids and then a swipe or two of mascara. To finish off the look, apply a rosy blush on the apples of your cheeks and complete with a semi-matte burgundy lipstick.

My Current Beauty Routine

I've gotten some requests recently to share my beauty routine, so even though this is a bit out of my comfort zone, I figured why not have a little fun (hello, kissy face!), and give you guys the run-down. I've always been pretty low-key and try to get my makeup done in about 15 minutes. Here's what I currently use for my daily go-to beauty look...

+++

SKIN: My skincare routine is pretty elaborate since I don't have the best of skin- Thank god for Instagram filters! That said, I'll save it for another post, and simply focus on the makeup aspect for now. I need good coverage even in the summer months, so I use a combination of products that feel light but have strong cover game. Under my eyes I dab Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm for a dewy brightness to hide dark spots. I then use a Sonia Kashuk Core Tools Concealer Brush with Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Concealer to cover my blemishes. Using my fingers I then apply and blend L'Oreal Visible Lift Serum Foundation over my face. Last, I set everything with BareMinerals Original Foundation Powder.

+++

BLUSH/BRONZER/HIGHLIGHTER: For some definition, I use either the Urban Decay Naked Flushed Bronzer, Highlighter & Blush Palette in Streak or BareMinerals All-Over Face Color in Warmth. I blend the bronzer with any brush I have handy along my cheekbones, hairline and lightly on my nose and chin. If I'm in the mood for a little color I add some of the blush from the palette over the apples of my cheeks. For highlighting, I'm obsessed with Chantecaille Liquid Lumière Illuminator in Sheen. I dab a little along the top of my cheeks, the inner corner of my eyes and under my brow arch for a flattering and subtle glow.

+++

BROWS: First I groom my eyebrows with the brush end of my Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil in Soft Brown and then fill them in with the pencil side. To keep them in place throughout the day, I use Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Gel.

+++

EYES: To begin, I lightly dab one of the bronzers mentioned earlier to my lids for a little depth. Next, I tightline my eyes with simple black eyeliner. I like to use the Almay Contour Crayon Eyeliner since it doesn't smudge as much as a pencil. If I want to add some flair and have some extra time, I like to do a winged cat-eye look with Cover Girl Intensify Me! Liquid Liner. To complete my eyes, I go straight for my Shiseido Eyelash Curler and throw on a few coats of Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara in Very Black.

+++

LIPS: I usually use a mix of Ilia Lipstick in In My Room and Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment in Rosé. If I want a brighter pop of color I like to use Nars Lipstick in Heat Wave or Ilia Tinted Lip Conditioner in Bang Bang.

+++

HAIR: For the look in the photos I let my hair air dry after spritzing in Bumble and bumble Surf Spray and applying Rodin Luxury Hair Oil to the ends.

And The Countdown To My Wedding Begins...

Denis Reggie

Happy to share that my fiancé and I have finally set a wedding date in July. As some of you may know, my father passed away about a month after we got engaged, so naturally a wedding was no longer top of mind for us. Though it won't be easy not having him there, we feel the timing is right. Many of you may be wondering how or why we are only giving ourselves two and a half months to pull this off, and the answer is that we are going for a small, intimate, and simple celebration. Thankfully,  our families will conveniently be in the area for that date. Click below to find out more about my wedding prep and plans...
