Summer Makeup for a Festival

e.l.f. Cosmetics recently sent me a box of “festival ready” beauty products. Being someone that loves music festivals, but is sadly not attending any this year, I was inspired to create this minty fresh summer look. I also drew inspiration from this cool pistachio-hued flower crown from The Peach Polka Dot.IMG_7010LOOK DETAILS

To create the eye look, I started by placing elf Baked Bronzer in my crease. I find this bronzer to be extremely dry and chalky so you’ll need to really work with it to get any sort of color payoff.

I then used my finger to apply the elf Cream Eyeliner in Teal Tease all over the lid to serve as a shadow base. This is a great additional use for any cream liner.

I packed Root Mojito Eyeshadow  all over the lid and placed Root Pressed Eyeshadow Pigment in Pine at the outer corner.

I did create a bit of a wing shape on the outer corner with the elf Cream Eyeliner in Teal Tease and brought it across the lower lash line as well. I added Pine at the outer corner of the lower lash line as well.

I added a pop of light with the elf Lustrous Eyeshadow in Celebration at the inner corner.

I did use the elf Baked Bronzer on my cheeks and I’ll be honest-I don’t like this at all. It feels like a piece of cardboard. There are tons of other great bronzers for summer.

On my lips I lined with Milani Color Statement Lipliner in Natural and swiped on the elf Lip Balm in Nude.elf-summerI’m also wearing the complexion products listed above, applied with a damp beautyblender. I am always into glowing skin, but especially now for summer.

I hope you enjoyed this look breakdown! If not, hey, that’s cool too. Thanks for stopping by my blog regardless. If you haven’t entered my anti-aging skincare giveaway yet, make sure you do so because there are some really legit products in it.
