Anna lives right down the street from me. She is so beautiful I couldn’t stop myself from asking her if she’d let me have a go at her makeup. She’s not used to wearing a whole bunch of it so I wanted to keep it very simple and soft. Her young daughters came to watch and their commentary was hilarious! They loved it, Anna loved it too I think also it always takes a little getting used to at first:)

What I used:
Maskcara Foundation in Aura highlight + Ash contour + Petal blush (not released yet!) + honey

I used Petal on her cheeks and lips because it’s a very pale (almost lavender) pink, because of her skin tone everything goes very warm on her which I often just go with and do something warm and golden, it’s kind of the easiest most obvious choice. In this case though I really wanted to do a little bit of a contrast and use the cooler tones to brighten her complexion. Lined her lips with my fav sebastian pencil
Surprisingly I used UD Brow Beater in dark brown on her brows. I often see red heads going with more warm orangy tones on their brows but I have found that it can go too warm and looks unnatural and distracting. I tend to use dark colors on their brows that aren’t the slightest bit warm and their skin tone warms and lightens it right up!
I used a soft creamy shimmer (Girly from Colourpop) on her lids and a gorgeous set of Esqido lashes in Oh So Sweet the lashes create a dark enough line so I didn’t really need any liner at...
