I have loved makeup for as long as I can remember. From being a hardcore Lipsmackers fan as a little girl to a Sephora regular now, I've always enjoyed the excitement of a new beauty product. When I was younger, I always wanted to wear foundation. I thought it was so cool, but my mom strongly encouraged me not to. She didn't want my little 12-year-old self slathering foundation all over my face and clogging up my pores (thanks, mom!) Now that I'm a twenty something "grown-up," I still am not a daily foundation wearer. However, I do enjoy going a little more glam with my makeup routine for special occasions, and foundation steps up my look to make it a bit more flawless.
With our anniversary just around the corner, I know we will be going on a nice date night out, and I want to create a makeup look that is a little "extra" for the special occasion. While I intend to create a more full-face look, I typically try to avoid layering a lot of cheap makeup as I just don't feel it's the healthiest for my skin, but I recently received several products from Neutrogena labeled "Healthy Skin." My desire for a foundation that's not bad for my skin has been achieved!
I wanted to create a more glam look for my upcoming special occasions! If you're a busy mom, wife, or college student, I know it can be hard to find the time to spend 30 minutes doing your makeup for a few hours on a date, so I really wanted to keep this tutorial as simple and quick as possible! You can recreate this look by picking up these Neutrogena products at the drugstore or online here and setting aside just 5 minutes!
I started by priming my face with the Healthy Skin Primer with SPF 15. I love the way this evens out my skin while adding sun protection.
I then applied the Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 20 to create a flawless base for my look. I love that this product has quality ingredients at such a great price. The SPF will also be so great for summer!
I also added a bit of the Healthy Skin Brightening Eye Perfector Broad Spectrum SPF 25 concealer under my eyes and the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Concealer around my nose and chin. I topped everything off with a bit of powder to set everything.
Next i took the lightest shade in this shadow pallet and applied it all over my lid. I took the taupe color into the crease, and popped the darkest shade to the outer corner.
I then applied some of the Nourishing Eye Liner on my waterline and lash line and used the sponge end to smudge it out.

| anyone else pull their eyelid back to get the perfect line? haha I already know it's not good for aging well! :) |
My favorite product from Neutrogena was the Healthy Skin Blush! It's so pigmented and creates such a natural flush.
I applied some of the Healthy Volume Mascara to bring out my lashes, and popped this beautiful berry shade of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine on my lips.
Let me know if you try out any of these products, and which ones make your look pop the most!
