Warm Toned Summer Makeup

Hi lover! I have to be completely honest with you today. Photographing makeup is no easy task. The colors and details never quite show up as they appear in person. I have been researching ways to improve and it always comes down to lighting (most important) and then equipment. While my photographer (boyfriend) nor I are professionals at this, we are trying our best to improve the shots. With that being said, this makeup look was a bit different in person, but I still wanted to share it with you as inspiration and to tell you about our struggles. 🙂

On the eyes I wanted to keep an overall theme of warm tones. I used a light orange shade in the crease and lightly layered over it a bright coral. For the outer and inner corner I used a chocolate brown to create a halo effect. This was difficult to show in pictures, but I will try to do a video of it for you, so it’s more clear. In the center of the lid I used a lighter, shimmery color to make the eyes pop. I created a wing with gel liner on my top lashes and used a black eyeliner pencil on my water line. Most products used are from Makeup Geek (only sold online) because that is one of my favorite brands. On the lips, I am wearing Crosswires by MAC, which is a cream sheen formula so it appears more as a hint of color.

Thank you for stopping by lovers!
