With the gorgeous spring weather upon us, who wants to be bogged down indoors fiddling with their makeup?! Not us! So, we’ve put together a super simple spring eyeshadow look that you are going to love! And we mean simple. But super cute. Win win.

Products You Will Need

The only things you need are Mi Hija and Sabrina eyeshadow colors and your amazing Eyeshadow Brush. That’s it. You can get the eyeshadow colors here and the makeup brush here.

How to Get the Look

To get this easy look, you simply take the fluffy end of the brush and apply Mi Hija all over the main part of your eyelid. Then use the same end to wipe Sabrina under your brow and on the inner corner of your lid to brighten your eyes. Make sure to blend well so there isn’t a stark contrast.

Next, use the smaller end of the brush and take Mi Hija just beneath the outer part of your lower lashes. Do the same thing with Sabrina but apply it all under the lower lash line from inner corner to outer corner.

Simple Eyeshadow Tip

Do you want to know a simple tip on how to get your eyeshadow to last longer? Use an eyeshadow primer! Just put a very small amount on your eyelid before you apply your eyeshadow and your makeup will last all day. Say goodbye to makeup creases and hello to all day wear! You’re welcome.

These simple colors are so perfect for a fun spring easy breezy look! We love easy. We love simple. And we love beautiful. And this look is just that. Now go out there, swipe a little color on those lids, and make today a great day. Get out there gorgeous =)

3 Minute Face

Raise your hand if you wish there were more hours in the day!! I sure do! As women, we have so many responsibilities ranging from mothering, working, cleaning, organizing, serving, and on and on. I don’t know about you, but I certainly feel more confident in my skin and ready to take on the day when I look good. But the problem is, sometimes looking good takes a lot of time…and that gets us right back to not having enough time in our day! It’s a vicious cycle =) What if I were to tell you that you can look & feel beautiful by using 1 compact, 2 beauty tools, in just 3 minutes…would you believe me? Let me show you how to make a 3 minute face!

Gone are the days of having tons of makeup products to rummage through and apply layer & layer to look good. With your custom Maskcara Beauty compact, all you need are 2 beauty tools (the 30 Second HAC Brush and the Perfector Sponge) and 3 minutes to whip your face into looking beautiful!

Highlight

I personally like to apply my highlight color on my face first. I take my brush and swipe the color on areas of my skin that need coverage (under eyes, nose, forehead chin).

Contour

This is my favorite part! Apply your contour color on your cheekbones, forehead, and along your jawline to make those areas more defined & beautiful.

Cheek

Take your pretty pink cheek color and brush onto the apples of your cheeks to give your face an attractive pop of pigment. Also add the same color onto your lips.

Illuminator

Your illuminator is meant to make your face glow in just the right places! Lightly dab some shimmer onto the tops of your cheekbones, bow of you lip, and the bridge of your nose.

Lastly, take your Perfector Sponge and blend that color in nicely so you look natural & beautiful. And that’s it! In just 3 minutes, you can easily take your face from al natural to extra gorgeous! It’s so simple & fast! This makeup routine is the perfect fit for any busy woman, and really, aren’t we all busy?!

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.
