Looks: Au Naturel

Hello everyone,

today I want to show you a quick, wearable look I did with the new Sleek Nude collection. On my eyes, I used the darker, smokier shades in the Au Naturel palette. The Pout Polish in Bare Minimum is very sheer but has a nice moisturizing texture and the Blush in Suede is perfect for contouring pale skin. Here are the pix. Let me know what you think in the comments. :)

Products used:
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Sleek Makeup I-Divine Au Naturel Eyeshadow Palette
- Eyeko Big Eyes Mascara
- Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
- Sleek Makeup Blush in Suede
- Sleek Makeup Pout Polish in Bare Minimum

Directions:
- Apply an eyeshadow primer to your eyes (I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance) to help makeup stay put all day and improve the color payoff of the eyeshadows.
- Pat a shimmering military green with brown undertones (I used Moss in the Sleek Makeup Au Naturel palette) on the lid.
- Apply a shimmering reddish brown (I used Conker in the Sleek Makeup Au Naturel palette) on the outer part of the lid and blend where it meets with the green.
- Sweep a matte reddish brown (I used Regal in the Sleek Makeup Au Naturel palette) on the crease and blend.
- Apply a matte light beige (I used Cappuccino in the Sleek Makeup Au Naturel palette) on the browbone.
- Apply mascara.
- I skipped the foundation (it’s still too hot to wear it) and only applied concealer (I used Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer) on my undereye area to hide my dark circles.
- Contour your cheekbones with a matte tawny brown shade (I used Sleek Makeup Blush in Suede).
- Sweep a sheer neutral tinted lip balm/gloss (I used Sleek Makeup Pout Polish in Bare Minimum) on your lips.

What do you think of Benefit ‘Stay Put’ Eye Shadow Primer? I’ve been using it for the past couple weeks and noticed you mentioned Too Faced Shadow Insurance as your product of choice for this look.

AC, I’m afraid I haven’t tried that yet. TFSI is my HG primer though. I love it because of its lightweight texture. It feels like you have nothing on yet it improves the color payoff of eyeshadows and make them last all day without creasing. I hope the Benefit primer is working well for you.
