{Loryanna}

Hi beauties! We have a simple & natural before and after with Maskcara makeup to share with you! This is Loryanna. Isn’t she beautiful? Loryanna spent her youth as a competitive ballroom dancer so she was used to getting dolled up, with hair and makeup plastered on! Now she is a young mother to a sweet little one year old boy. I wanted to give her a simple every day look where she can quickly put herself together and have time to chase her little munchkin around.

How to Get Her Look

Loryanna had some redness & freckling, so Aura as her highlight was perfect to even out her skin tone, without covering up those fun freckles. After taking the Color Matching Quiz, we concluded that she had a cool skin tone and Ash was the perfect contour color for her face. I love how it brought her cheekbones out just right and enhanced her beauty! I wanted to give her a natural cheek so I mixed Desert Sunset and Pink Grapefruit on her apples and blended up through her cheekbones. Pearl gave her face a nice glow. I applied Bubba, Bright Eyes, and Stardust on her eyelids by using the deep crease method. Salem was the perfect color to fill in her brows and give them a little more shape. We topped the look off by giving her a light pop of pink on her lips with Pink Grapefruit. I love how light & airy it turned out!

Highlight: aura

Contour: ash

Blush: desert sunset & pink grapefruit

Illuminator: pearl

Eyeshadow: bubba, bright eyes, stardust

Brows: Salem

Lips: pink grapefruit

Enhance Your Beauty

What woman doesn’t want to look beautiful, even if that means her son will be the only one to see that pretty face all day?

The post Before and After with Maskcara Makeup appeared first on Illuminate Beauty.

I’ve got five kids, a great husband, a few businesses and a church responsibility.  Looking at my life might leave you feeling a little tired, I get it, I AM a little tired, but I certainly am happy.  One of the ways I keep all of this up is because I strive to keep things simple.  It really isn’t me to cook extravagant meals every day or worry too much about the house being spotless.  I keep things as simple as possible.  So, when Maskcara makeup came along, I knew I had to make the switch.  Here are 3 reasons why I threw away all my makeup and switched to the simplified Maskcara makeup.

1. One compact is all you need

The compacts are metal so that you can take each tin in and out as needed.  So in one compact you have your highlight, contour, blush, eyeshadow, powder and illuminator.  There is no need to have a million different products. Everything fits into one compact.

2.  No waste

Ever buy a compact of 12 or 15 shades of eyeshadow and you end up only really using one?  With Maskcara, you buy only what you need.  Then you create your own custom palette and makeup and pop it into your magnetic compact.  I used to take a whole bag of makeup when I traveled and now I just have this one compact that fits in the palm of my head.  Pretty amazing.

3.  Simple makeup routine = quick makeup routine

I’ve always tried to get that highlight and contour look but really never known how or been able to find the time to do the whole process.  Maskcara makeup makes it easy with their 30 second HAC brush.  The highlight and contour makeup is made to be your foundation so there is no layering, just one easy application.

Here’s a before and after of my 5 minute face and this is what I used:

A few months ago, I threw away my old makeup routine and picked up this simplified and beautified method.  If you are ready to simplify your beauty routine, click here to learn the HAC method and to take our free color matching quiz.
