Now you must be thinking what does makeup have to do with a fashion blog, right? Well, makeup can be a HUGE factor in how your clothing looks on you and can completely change a look. Make Comm. Ave your runway and follow these easy steps:

1. Skip the foundation just moisturize and conceal! My favorite concealer is Mac’s Select Cover-Up. If you do need extra coverage try a tinted moisturizer from Laura Marcier or You Rebel by Benefit.

2. Set your makeup with any powder, Nars Powder Foundation is my go-to. It adds a natural warm color to my face.

3. Put on your favorite blush! I generally stick with a natural light pink color.

4. Define your brows with a powder shadow and an angled brush. Remember to gently comb through your eyebrows to blend the powder in.

5. Lots of black mascara!

6. If you are leaning towards red lips, skip the heavy eye makeup to keep the focus on them. The type of red is up to you. There is neon red, burnt red, and many more!

7. If you are opting out of red lips try a metallic (silvers, blues, golds) smokey eye with nude or pale pink lips.
 
And a runway look is as easy as that!
