Everyday Face/"Natural" Glow

      Inga here! Our first official Face of the Day (FOTD) segment continued by the lovely Miss Ingrid :p



This is literally my go-to face.


      When I'm on my way to school, the boyfriend's house (sometimes; he usually prefers me au naturale), (ex)work, etc etc, the only time for me to actually get ready is on transit (bus, subway) ..so THIS. IS. IT!!!! ....though I totally don't advise you guys to do make-up on-the-go. Totally dangerous. If I wasn't so awesome, I could've poked my eye out (I'm almost always 87% there). Mind you, my travel time usually takes 45 mins to an hour since my school is downtown and my boyfriend lives in a different city, so I get a little bored and maybe a little overboard with this routine.
      Let me assure you - all those extra steps are going to be helpful. I know it might be a little too much for everyday use? ..but since I don't actually go OUT every single day, my face gets ample time to breathe. My face is acne prone and I have lots of redness/discoloration from scarring and ...I'm guessing just hormones?... so I'm definitely not perfect.

CAMILLE'S EVERYDAY EYES

   Camille here :) YAY! First tutorial! Alright, so, I'm always on the go and out and about. Ingrid and I both go to school relatively far from where we live, so we're always looking to be able to come up with super easy and quick looks (to save time, and because we can be lazy ahaha). I don't usually do makeup as I'm traveling since I'm super clumsy and uncoordinated, so I like to save as much time as I can. This is what you will usually find me wearing to work (working retail demands you look 'presentable' and 'professional', so sometimes I do more than usual so that my boss will be happy haha), or out.

   Keep note... I don't wear foundation! Or any face products, for that matter (blush and bronzer make the cut on special occasions, though!), mainly because I have uber sensitive skin and have experienced unfortunate events that resulted after wearing foundation, so I try to avoid putting anything excessive on my face. I've broken out, developed rashes; yeah, not pretty. I'm not saying my skin is perfect, because it's most definitely far from it! But I just don't feel the need to weigh down my face.

Here's the video tutorial:

PRODUCTS USED:
Concealer:
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector in Light Medium
Brows:
Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara
Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Annabelle eyeshadows in Helium (lid), Ka-Ching! (crease), Buff Naked (highlight)
~ Annabelle is exclusive to Canada
L'Oreal Lineur Intense Carbon Black liquid eyeliner
L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara


And that's pretty much it! Hope you enjoyed :)
With love,
Camille
