Graduation 2013: Day Look

Hi Everyone!
Graduation is just around the corner! This is a look you can wear during the ceremony whether it be in the daytime or evening. Also, I will give you some tips to turn this daytime look into an evening look if you want to look "done up" for your graduation reception.

With this look, I was going for a natural face wearable for the office. You are graduating and probably looking for a job. What better way to look presentable to potential employers and looking like you mean business! You are not a college student anymore. You are part of the working economy. It's time to ditch the college sweaters and start getting used to those pair of slacks and a professional face.






Products used are mostly all Urban Decay (UD):
UD Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer
UD Naked Skin Foundation in 6.0
UD Naked Palette
UD Primer Potion
Physician's Formula Bronze Booster in Medium to Dark
Sephora's Blush in Healthy Rose No. 09

Eye Makeup Tutorial
1. After priming the eyes, with an eyeshading brush (Sigma E55), apply Virgin as a highlighter on the brow bones and inner corners of the eyes.

2. Apply Naked as a base color all over the lids.

3. Next, apply Smog on the outer corners of the eyelids.

4. Then apply Half Baked on the inner corners of the eyelids and blend the two colors together.

5. With a blending brush (Sigma E40), apply Buck on the crease while blending the colors.

* The look is basically done here. You are ready for the Ceremony! If you want to have a darker look for an evening event, you have the option below.

6. To add some smokiness to the look for the evening, I suggest you apply Darkhorse in the outer corner as a definition shadow. This will create a lightly smoky eye. IF you want a more dramatic look, skip Darkhorse and apply Creep. This will definitely give you a smokey eye. Don't forget to retouch Half Baked!

VoilĂ ! You are done and ready to go! I hope you enjoyed this look. It is wearable anywhere from the office, to weddings, a date, or prom!

Enjoy!
-Lyn
