Beauty Icons!

Women throughout the years have made their own signature look, some more famous than others. Here are some of my favorite beauty icons:

Twiggy- Twiggy was a model in the 1960's. Her signature look was drawn on lower lashes, big thick lashes, and big doe eyes with a defined crease.

Marilyn Monroe- Marilyn Monroe changed the face of femininity. She showed women that size doesn't matter. Her makeup was simple but eye grabbing. Her red lips stood out from her pale face, she balanced out the red lips with a high arched brow.

Kim Kardashian- Kim Kardashian is a celebrity who is looked up to by others who enjoy fashion and beauty. She uses contouring and highlighting techniques that can make a difference in your look. She is almost always wearing a smokey eye with big lashes and thick liner topped off with a nude lip. Here is a link to what some of her contouring and highlighting looks like:

Gwen Stefani- Gwen Stefani is a pop star and lead vocalist for No Doubt. She owns her own clothing line called L.A.M.B. She says she has done the same makeup look since ninth grade. She wears winged liner, minimal eyeshadow, a strong brow, and red lips. 

Fast Five Minute Face!

Being a high school student I have to wake up early and sometimes I don't have time to do a full face of makeup. Using minimal makeup to get a full faced look is easy. 

1. Foundation is always important. It conceals and creates a layer for flawless application of other products.  A quick way to apply foundation is dotting on your cheeks, nose, forehead, and neck then blending outwards with a wet sponge or brush of your choice. 

2. Light shimmery eyeshadow makes your eyes appear brighter and awake. Applying it in your tear ducts can make a huge difference. 

3. Eyeliner or a dark shadow on your upper lash line wiill define your eyes and doesn't take long. 

4. Mascara paired with eyeliner can define your eyes even more it also defines your lashes which can make a difference. If you don't have time for 2 or 3 just applying mascara will make a huge difference. 

5. If you have a few more minutes blush or bronzer will sculpt your face and give you a put together chizzled look.
