Lark Rise to Candleford Makeup

Hey!

Today's tutorial is going to be about Laura Timmons from Lark Rise to Candleford. She is very pretty and always looks very put together.

1. Wash your face.

2. Tone and moisturize your face.

3. Apply concealer and blend it in using a small fluffy brush.

4. Use a small amount of loose powder on your t-zone.
(The t-zone is your forehead, nose, and chin.)

5. Apply a rosy pink blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend it down towards your jaw.

6. Fill in your eyebrows lightly using an eyeshadow and a small angled brush.

7. Apply brown mascara at the base of your eyelashes, don't forget the lower lashes.
(Don't comb the mascara wand through, just wiggle it slightly at the base of your lashes.)

8. Swipe on a pink lip gloss and you're good to go!

Emma Makeup

Hello everyone!

This look is going to be based on the TV series, Emma. I think that it's a very pretty and super easy to achieve makeup look!

1. Wash your face.

2. Tone and Moisturize your face.

3. Apply concealer where you need it, don't use foundation! You want your skin to show through the makeup.

4. Apply a thin dusting of powder (that is a little too light for your natural skin color) all over your face.

5. Apply a pale, dusty, pink blush to your eyelids and the apples of your cheeks. Blend the blush on your cheeks up towards your temples.

6. Brush your eyebrows and use either a brow gel or a little hair spray on your finger to hold them in place.

7. Use a clear or pink lip balm.

You're all done! Thanks for reading :)

Sense and Sensibility Makeup

Hey there!

Today I had a request to do a Sense and Sensibility inspired look. I'm going to be focusing more on Marianne Dashwood, but the same look applies to Elinor.

 1. Wash your face.
(I recommend using something very gentle and not using a scrub. The reason for this is that scrubs draw a lot of blood circulation to your face. We want to be very pale for this look, so that would kind of ruin it.)

2. Use a toner and moisturize your face.
(Use a moisturizer with an SPF for a little added protection from the sun.)

3. Apply concealer under your eyes, around your nose, and anywhere that you have blemishes.
(Keep things light! Women in the early 1800s hardly ever wore makeup.)

4. Marianne's complexion is very matte, so apply a dusting of loose or pressed powder all over your face.

5. If your eyebrows aren't very dark, lightly fill them in with an eyeshadow and an angled brush.
(If you're a brunette, two shades lighter than your hair color. If you're a blonde, two shades darker that your hair color. If you're a redhead, use an auburn color.)

6. Apply a brown-gray eyeshadow all over your eyelids and slightly under your eyes using a small, fluffy brush.
(This should be very subtle. You just want to add a little definition.)

7. Use a little dusty pink blush on the apples of your cheeks, or wherever you flush naturally.

8. Apply a pink tinted lip balm.

For this look, stay away from mascara and eyeliner.
You should look like a very well put together natural beauty :)
