Simple Interview Makeup

Hi all! Today (when I am writing this) I have an interview and I realized that I am not the only person who is going on a ton of interviews. While not everyone is a recent college grad I think this look would work for anyone regardless of age. I kept everything very simple and only used makeup to enhance my features, rather than hide them. Also I hope you like the new layout, if you have any issues with it please let me know!

The beauty of this look is that it can be customized to meet your needs, while I opted not to go for blush (simply because my cheeks have been sure red lately) you might. I also don't use very high coverage products simply because I think it looks weird on me, I also chose my eyeshadow based on what looks good with blue eyes. This isn't a follow exactly kind of deal, it's more of a here is what I do.

SKIN
 For skin I started off with a clean face that I had moisturized and of course used spf. I personally mix basically all of my face products together and slap it on my face (to save time and effort haha). So I started by swiping 2 dips (I pulled out the wand, wiped it on my hand, stuck it back in and repeated one more time) of the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Spotlight in Pearl onto the palm of my hand and then I added about a dime size of primer (I used the Covergirl Outlast All Day Primer, not my favorite but it works). After that I added three drops of the Smashbox Camera Ready BB Water (fair/light) and mixed it together in my hands and then applied it to my face.

After applying my base I skipped the powder (my skin has been supa dry) and applied the Colourpop Super Shock Cheek highlighter in the shade Double Dip (unfortunately limited edition) to the tops of my cheeks very lightly and also on my forehead. Done.

EYES
The eyes are the focal point of this look, while the skin looks fresh and natural I used a bit of color (lol like 2 colors) to play up the eyes a bit and make them stand out. I first primed my eyes with the Too Faced Shadow Insurance primer (I honestly can't tell whether an eye primer is good or not...) and to set the primer I used Colourpop Pressed Powder Shadow in the shade Issues (I forgot to include it in the picture). After that I took a rather fluffy synthetic eyeshadow brush and took Cornelious from Colourpop all over my lid and blended it into the crease.

Once the eyeshadow was done I curled my lashes and applied two coats of the MAC In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash Mascara. I chose this mascara because I know it doesn't flake or smudge on me (that is very important, you don't want to look like a racoon at a job interview) and it doesn't irritate my eyes. Also important to note, I didn't apply any to my lower lashes because my eyes water a lot and see aforementioned racoon parentheses.

BROWS
I wasn't sure whether to just include this with eyes or give it it's own category, so as you can see I gave it it's own category. For this I simply lightly filled in my brows with the It Cosmetics Brow Power in Universal taupe, which is a little warm for my skin and hair color but I made it work. I just followed the shape of my natural brow and added a little to my right eyebrow tail because it is sparse there.

LIPS
Last but certainly not least, for lips I chose a color that was neutral and one that I wouldn't have to worry about it going outside of my lip line. For this I chose the Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Sedona Sands. It is my perfect nude shade, but doesn't look like concealer lips. Plus it is hydrating!
