Back to School: Flirty

This is the second post in my back to school series, and I think you'll love it! With every new school year comes a fresh start...and hopefully many opportunities to pull off this "flirty" look :)
I can't remember where I was reading this statistic, but I heard it somewhere...hmm. Well anyways, it says that the two things men (or boys, if you're in high school like myself) look for in a woman/girl's face are full lips and big, wideset eyes. So, we'll focus on accentuating those two gorgeous features in this look!

Step 1: Cover underye circles and blemishes with concealer, then set with a light dusting of powder. You want to look flawless yet natural with this look.

Step 2: Apply a light amount of bronzer under your cheekbones and blend with your powder brush so that you appear to have a naturally sun-kissed face. Smile to find the apples of your cheeks and blend a tiny bit of peachy blush from the apples down slightly into the bronzer. You want to look like you just went outside and are naturally flushed.

My favorite bronzer to use is this one from Physician's Formula!

Step 3: Prime your eyelids. I prefer to use Urban Decay's Primer Potion, but any primer (or even a dab of concealer) will work!

Step 4: Spread a light pink matte shadow over your lid and blend into the crease. You want to keep the eyeshadow simple, so using only one shade (plus a matte highlight) will be best.

Step 5: Using a black or brown pencil liner, line only your top lash line. Keep the line very thin so that you can barely tell you're wearing it. Lining your bottom lashline or waterline will close off your eyes and make them seem smaller. Lining the top lash line will make your eyelashes look fuller, which will then compliment those big beautiful eyes! :)

Step 6: Apply a couple coats of mascara to only the top lashes.

Step 7: Take a pink liptick and apply it more thickly than you normally would. Then, take a tissue and blot some of it off. This will give you a natural, DIY lipstain sort of look. *Optional...take a lip pencil one shade lighter than your lipstick and line your lips. They'll look full and gorgeous!!

Step 8: Sweep a small amount of clear gloss over your lips and reapply once or twice throughout the day.
