Get Jessica’s Beachy Look

Jessica SimpsonJessica Simpson showed up to the launch of her swimwear line looking fresh and natural–totally perfect for a day at the beach! Her look is not overdone at all, and has just the right amount of makeup to put up with the summer’s heat while looking super glamorous. Here’s how to get it:

1. Sweep Smashbox Matte Eye Shadow in Filter [$16] all over lid for a pretty, natural look.

2. Apply two coats of Maybelline Full N’ Soft Mascara in Brownish Black [$5.99] on top lashes, followed by one coat on bottom lashes. This will give you full, natural looking clump-free lashes!

3. Sweep Bobbi Brown Blush in Coral [$20] on apples of cheeks for a gorgeous, sun-kissed glow.

4. Sweep Bare Escentuals Face Color - Faux Tan [$20] on cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin for a bronzed, back-from-the-beach tan. Use a big brush (Powder Brush - Jumbo, $5.99) for application in order to get flawless, even coverage. Remember to use this bronzer sparingly–a little goes a long way!

5. Finish the look with MAC Plushglass in Big Kiss [$17.50] for full, luscious lips with a pretty pink-coral color!

Bare Escentuals Big Tease Mascara

Bare Escentuals Big Tease MascaraBare Escentuals works wonders in creating fabulous makeup, so I am definitely excited to check out their new Big Tease Mascara. It will give your lashes everything you could ask for from a mascara–length, volume, and no clumps! This mascara will turn the shortest lashes into intense, voluminous, flirty lashes!

Big Tease Mascara has a long-bristled side and a short-bristled side. The long-bristled side is designed to separate and lengthen each individual lash (even the smallest hard-to-reach ones!), so you will have the results you want without the clumps. The short-bristled side builds volume so your lashes will be super full and thick. It is available in Black and Blackest Black.

Bare Escentuals even gave some tips to help this mascara look its best. You can prevent smudges by applying a tiny amount of Mineral Veil Finishing Powder [$19] under the lash line, so it will stay put all day. You can also increase your lash volume with a coat of bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation [$25] on lashes before applying mascara.

You can get Big Tease Mascara for just $15 here!
