Easy Makeup Requests.

Hello lovelies.  A few of my sweet blogger friends have asked me to do some makeup tutorials on my Instagram. I am so touched you even thought it looked worthy of a tutorial!  I have no experience in that so I'm going to try my best to show you what products I've used and how to apply them.  I'm using makeup you can buy at any drug store so it should be quite easy to find.  Or just use what you have in your makeup collection that is similar.
My makeup is almost always neutral. Here I've used some coral, red, and orangey tones.  For my eyes I used Wet n Wilds Comfort Zone pallet, the 2 middle colors on the left side.  I recommend using a good blending brush so you don't have any harsh lines. I also used a redish color in my crease but I cant find it. Sorry, my girls are constantly in my makeup.  To finish my eye I use this Lorac nude shade under my brows for a highlight. For my cheeks I used a Milani Blush in the color Coralista. On my lips is Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya.
The second look here I'm using light pinks and purples. My brows are not good here!  Still the look is very wearable and neutral. This picture is actually from today.  I went to get my Jeeps emission test (passed), and we did a few errands. Little GG is sooo precious I just want to eat her!
I picked up this $3.00 Bonnie Bell eyeshadow box yesterday.  I've never owned anything B.B. except maybe in 6th grade with some lip gloss.  I was trying to find something similar in shade to the new $52.00 Naked 3 pallet. I used the 2nd and the last eyeshadow color.  I also used a soft brown in my crease.  Always blending colors.  For my cheeks I used my holy grail E.L.F. blush in Pink Passion. On my lips I used Revlons Colorburst Matte Balm Stick in the color Elusive.  I love these Balms Sticks!  They smell very good and I like them much better than drying lipsticks.
In both looks I have on black eyeliner and have contoured my cheeks just slightly.  I hope that this post some what helped, and that I at least listed the products used.  Please be kind, I'm not a makeup guru or junkie.  I'm a mom and wife ;)

Thank you so much for reading and if you have any other requests I'd love to hear them! Love, Linzi

  2. Your makeup is gorgeous! How do you do your brows though? I usually just use pencil, but want to try powders.

    1. I have to use both, pencil and powder. My brows are almost non existent! I think the powder helps it look softer and more natural. Thank you Katie ♡

    2. Thanks so much for this post Linzi! I loved reading it. I love that Bonnie Bell eyeshadow pallet. I haven't used BB in years. The colors look really pretty! I've never used any of those Revlon lip balms either, can't wait to give them a try. What eyeliner do you use?

    3. Thank you! I am loving Miliani bold liquid eyeliner pen. It's very easy to use, unlike a lot of liquid liners. I'm glad you liked the post ♥

  3. This post has me wanting to try the Revlon Lip Balms lol I never wear lipstick because it makes my lips feel so dry. I always wear mostly neutral makeup so I'm excited to try the Revlon Lip Balms to add just the right touch of color.

  4. Thank you so much for this!! You always look so beautiful. I was just talking to a coworker who was telling me I should try some new make up and watch some youtube tutorials since I want to learn more.

    Thank you so much. :-)

  5. I love the B.B. colors! The Naked 3 pallet is so pretty but I'm not wanting to fork over that for eye shadow. Love this post, you (and your make-up) are so pretty!
