Fishtail Braid Hair & Makeup

Today I'm sharing the makeup from my fishtail braid post from a few days ago. (Thanks for all the nice comments on it!) Also, we're hosting another giveaway! This is my kind of giveaway, because it's to a makeup store. Details to enter are below.

First, here's a reminder of what my makeup looked like:

It's more of a nighttime look, because I went heavier on the eyeliner and mascara. It might be good for Valentine's Day if you have plans to go out that night!

All of the makeup is listed after the final pic below. Here are the steps I took:

Step 1: I added the Charlotte Tilbury concealer in the lightest shade under my eyes and used it to cover blemishes. Step 2: I added the Revlon foundation stick in a shade darker than my skin tone to warm up my forehead and cheeks. Step 3: Next, I added bronzer over the areas where I placed the Revlon foundation stick, and then I set my under-eye area with a translucent powder. (The powder has a lavender tint to counteract yellow tones.) Step 5: I added blush.  Step 6: This is the fun part: I spritzed my skin with setting spray. (Make sure you do this before you do your eyeliner and mascara, because they'll get runny if you get them wet.)

Step 7: I filled my brows with the brow wiz pencil. Step 8: I added Anastasia highlighting pencil just below my brows to highlight the brow bone, before adding my eyeshadows. Step 9: For the eyeshadows, I mainly used the Anastasia kit. I used “Treasure” on my lids, “Buttery” to add additional highlights under my brow, then added “Hot Chocolate” in the crease, and I blended them together using “Hot & Cold” and “Sherbert”. I added “Self-Made” on the lower lashline, then I added “Fringe” from ColourPop to highlight my inner eye. Step 10: I added the wing using Tarteist liner (LOVE that liner), then tightlined my lower lashline using the Lancome liner. Step 11: I added 2 coats of mascara. Step 12: Finally, I added a base coat of lipstick, blotted it, then added a touch of gloss.
