Summertime One Brand Look: Eyes Lips Face

Eyes Lips Face is a wonderful, inexpensive makeup brand that offers a wide variety of beauty products and tools.  

The following is a fun, summertime look you can pull off using all Eyes Lips Face products.

I’ve picked out some shades for a summertime glow, but some colors are left to your descretion such as the concealer, foundation, etc.

A list of tools you need to complete this look is found at the end of the guide.
1 ~ Moisturizer
It is important to keep you skin moisturized in the summer months, especially because your skin can dry out from the sun, chlorine in the pool, and other environmental elements.  I recommend using the Studio Daily Moisture Stick before applying your makeup to keep your face fresh!

e.l.f. Mineral Face Primer
2 ~ Primer
Next, apply the Mineral Infused Face Primer to your entire face.  I suggest putting it on your finger tips, patting it into the skin, and then smoothing it out.  I find this method helps to fill in pores for a flawless finish!
3 ~ Foundation
Since this is a summer look, I wanted to use a lightweight foundation with SPF coverage for the sunny summer days!  I like the Studio Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20.  This has very light coverage, but it does even out the skin tone. (Please note that you can do concealer and foundation in whichever order you prefer.  I know some people like to do concealer first, but others like to do foundation first in order to determine the real trouble areas.)
4 ~ Concealer
Use the Essential Tone Correcting Concealer to cover blemishes and under eye circles.  This is great at covering any red spots or dark circles to neutralize your skin tone before proceeding.
5 ~ Blush
For a fun, pink glow use the Studio Blush in Pink Passion.  Apply this to the apples of your cheek and extend to your hair line.  It is very pigmented, so a little goes a long way!

e.l.f. Studio Contouring Blush and Bronzing Duo in St. Lucia
6 ~ Bronzer
The Studio Contouring Blush and Bronzing Duo in St. Lucia can be used for contouring, but this for this look, I suggest using just the bronzer to warm up your skin tone as if you have been tanning!  You are going to apply this across your forehead, in the hollows of your cheek (just below your cheek bone), along your jawline, and down your neck.  These are the areas you apply bronzer for contouring, but we are going to apply it softly instead of creating defined lines.

Note:  You can find the hollows your check by feeling for the indentation below your cheekbone or by placing a brush on your face extending from the top of your ear to the outer corner of your lip.  If you then roll the brush up and down you should feel where your cheek indents, and this is where you apply bronzer.


e.l.f. All Over Color Stick in Persimmon
7 ~ Highlighter
Everyone wants a summertime glow, so I recommend using the All Over Color Stick in Persimmon.  You can place this down the center of your nose and above each cheekbone.  You can also place this right under your eyebrow as an extra highlight.  I prefer using my finger to apply this to all of the areas of my face because I think it helps to warm up and soften the product so it goes on smoothly.
8 ~ Eyelid Primer
Use the Eyelid Primer in Sheer to prevent your eyeshadow from creasing and to get a longer-lasting look!  Just dab a little on your eyelid with the wand and use your fingertip to even it out.  This also helps to enhance the colors of your shadow!
9 ~ Eye Shadow
Use the eye shadow brush to apply the lighter color from the Essential Eyelid Duo in Berry Mix to your entire eyelid.  Next, use the defining eye brush to apply the darker shadow from the duo to the outer v and extend into the crease.  Twirl your blending brush in circular motions to make a seamless transition between the two colors.  Finally, use your finger to apply a little of the All Over Color Stick to the inner corner of your eyes.

Please note that there is a powder version and a cream version of the Berry Mix eyeshadow duo.  For this look, you can use either product, however, you may need to use your finger or different brushes than the ones suggested here.

e.l.f. Essential Liquid Eyeliner in Black
10 ~ Eyeliner
On your top lash line apply the Essential Liquid Eyeliner in Black, and for a softer look, apply the lighter shadow from the Berry Mix duo on your lower lash line.
11 ~ Mascara
First begin by curling your eyelashes.

I want a natural look in the summer, which is why I recommend using the Studio Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara.  I find that this adds just enough length and volume without looking very dramatic.

e.l.f. Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Pink Lemonade
12 ~ Lipstick/Lip Gloss
When I think of summer, I am not using bold, heavy lipsticks, I am using either a lipgloss or a more subtle lipstick because it is quick and easy to apply on the go.  I want something bright and fun which is why I suggest Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Pink Lemonade for this look.  I would actually consider this more of a lip gloss than a lipstick because it is more sheer than lipstick, and it has the consistency of a gloss.

e.l.f. Mechanical Eyelash Curler
Tools
These are the tools used to complete the look outlined above, and I have specified how you use each one!
* Mechanical Eyelash Curler - to curl eyelashes
* Essential Eye Shadow Brush - use this to pack color all over your eyelid
* Essential Defining Eye Brush - use this to create an outer v and drag the darker shadow into the crease
* Essential Blending Eye Brush - use this to blend your shadows together to soften the transition; the best method is to swirl in circular motions over your eyelid
* Studio Small Angled Brush - use this to apply the eyeshadow to your lower lash line like an eyeliner
* Studio Complexion Brush - use this to apply your bronzer
* Studio Blush Brush - use this to apply your blush
