So here it is, my second Burlesque-inspired makeup look. This one is much more natural, it almost looks like you´re not wearing any makeup at all. I really like this look because it´s flattering but really wearable at the same time. It´s perfect for school or just normal days where you want to look good without putting so much effort into your makeup. So here it is:

1. Apply your foundation and concealer if needed- you want your skin to look really even.
2. For my lidcolor I mixed a light brown color with a light pink and a corally shade, but that´s really up to you, just use a light brown with a bit of shimmer. Just pat it on with your fingers lightly so you will tell a difference but not really see the color.
3. Apply a brown that´s a little darker right above the crease and blend it really well.
4. Highlight your browbone and your inner tearduct with a light but not shimmery color (blanc type by MAC is perfect.)
5. Line your lashline with a light to medium brown pencil liner. Do the same thing under your lower lashline but just until it meets the highlight color.
6. Put just a thin coat of mascara on- your lashes will appear longer and fuller without looking like you really worked on them.
7. Contour your face lightly and apply a pink blush right on the apples of your cheeks. I put a bit of powder over it so it looks really natural.
8. Use a tinted lipbalm or a pink or coral lipstick and you´re good to go!

I know eight steps looks a lot but when you do it, it really takes barely any time. So new fashion posts will be up soon and I hope you enjoy your week!
