COVERGIRL How To – Part 1

We love drugstore beauty finds at The Style Spy so we caught up with COVERGIRL Makeup Pro, Greg Wencel to learn how to do two different looks for day and night. Today, Greg shows us how to do a look called “bold minimalism eyes” for day using COVERGIRL’S new LashBlast 24 Hour Mascara. Make sure to check back tomorrow for the night look.
For daytime you want your makeup to look extra light, clean, perfected and fresh. Start with your eyes first, that way you don’t have to be concerned with making a mess – you can use a makeup wipe to clean up any loose or fallen shadow.

Give lashes a good curl with a lash curler and press the curler right at the root of the lash, it will make them look longer and really open up and awaken your eyes. Next, go in with your COVERGIRL Eye Enhancer 1-Kit Eyeshadow in Mink. Sweep it across your entire eyelid with the kit applicator or a brush. Blend it high into the crease of the eye, creating a very round wide eyed doll eye shape. Make sure to do some extra blending in the crease as you want a very soft wash of gradated colour as opposed to harsh shapes or definition.
Take Intense Shadowblast in Beige Blaze and use its applicator to dab shimmer highlight on the inner corners of your eye and on your brow bone.

Finish your eye with at least two coats of the new LashBlast 24HR Mascara in Very Black on the top lashes to create fluttery baby doll like lashes. Make sure to let each coat set and dry before applying another coat.
To make your skin look polished, use COVERGIRL TRUblend Foundation as a concealer – because this is a day look, less is more. Simply use your fingers to stipple on TRUblend over any blemishes or imperfections. Add a radiant shimmer highlight to your skin with Intense ShadowBlast in Beige Bling. Using your fingers, smooth it over the plane of your cheeks, bridge of your nose, your lip’s cupids bow, and a hint on your forehead and chin.
Finish off your daytime look with your lips. Use your finger to pat on your lipcolour instead of using it straight from the bullet. This will give you a softer more natural subtle lip colour. Try LipPerfection Lipstick in Delish.
