With two little boys, I’m often wearing minimal makeup during the daytime. We like to play outside, run laps in the house, and my 1 year old specifically likes to crawl on me! So, a full face of makeup just doesn’t make sense for me on the daily!
BUT, if I have something planned after a day with the boys, there are 7 simple steps I take to kick up my face a notch and feel fresh without starting from scratch. I ordered a few new things from Sephora for this step by step and as much as I love wandering the physical store, their website is just as enticing! I always click through the New Arrivals and Best Sellers sections.
I wore false lashes in a recent tutorial, but I wanted to try individuals again for this look. The Sephora individual lashes that I use in step 6 are really easy to use and don’t feel heavy on your eyelid at all! I much prefer using them to a typical full length false lash. So, here is what a typical “day hanging with the boys” looks like for me:

Dust on a translucent setting powder to cut shine and dullness from the day.

2. Add a bit of contour under the cheekbones, along the jawbone, and along your hairline. This adds nice depth to your face!

3. Pick a punchy blush color!

4. Highlighter goes a long way in livening up your face at the end of a long day too. Focus on your cheeks and down the center of your face.

5. Add a slightly darker shadow to your crease, and run that same color along your lower lash line....
