Naturally Glamorous Grad Makeup

My little sister, Jordyn graduated from High School this past weekend, and for her big day I helped her do her makeup. Normally she doesn't wear a lot of makeup, so we tried to keep it natural while still looking glamorous and done up! She looked stunning and we both loved how it turned out, so I thought that I would share it with you as Prom/Grad season is starting up! Also, I thought I should mention that we took these photos after 12 hours of wearing the makeup and it still looked incredible, so you can count on the products we used to last all day!

Primer: Nars Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

Eyeshadow: As a base I placed Tufted Suede (matte skin tone colour) by Too Faced all over her lid. Then I worked Naked (matte mid toned brown) from Urban Decay's Naked Palette into her crease and blended it up as a transition shade. I used Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer (matte warm chocolate brown) to deepen her crease and then placed a little bit of Rain (matte cool toned brown) from Stila's In The Know Palette in the outer half of her crease. I used Rain again on the whole outer third of her lid and blended. Then I took Sin (shimmery champagne) from the Naked Palette and placed that all over the inner half of her lid. To blend Sin and Rain together, I used Toasted from the Naked Palette. To deepen the outer lid, I blended a bit more of Rain into the Outer lid and into the crease. On the Outer-V I used Smog (shimmery golden brown) from the Naked Palette to add some warmth and then blended Haute Chocolate (shimmery dark purple-brown) on top. As a browbone highlight I used the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Incandescent Light from the Ambient Lighting Palette.

After her face and eye makeup was done I misted her with Urban Decay's De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray, and the look was finished!

Although we didn't do the hair ourselves, I thought I would show you a picture in case you need some inspiration!

It was such a great day and my sister looked so gorgeous! I hope it was a day she'll remember forever! To see more photos of her makeup in action, you can check out professional shots here! I hope you enjoyed this post and that it inspired you in some way! If you are graduating, Congratulations! I hope you have a safe and magical day!
