LOOK OF THE DAY (BACK-TO-SCHOOL): GILDED BRONZE

Hey everyone! I'm so proud of myself, a post every day for three days straight! ;D Anyways, this is another Back-to-school look in the series! It's just a gorgeous gilded bronze gold look!(: (Sorry the picture doesn't do it as much justice as I'd have hoped...)

LOTD (BACK-TO-SCHOOL): GILDED BRONZE

STEP 1: First, I always prime my lids with my Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden to make sure there's no smudging or creasing throughout the day.

STEP 2: I then take my Benefit Gilded Highlighter and apply it all over my lid.

STEP 3: I then set the gold highlighter with a gold shadow, my Urban Decay Shadow in Half Baked using a flat shader brush. This prolongs the vibrancy and wear of the highlighter!

STEP 4: I then apply my Urban Decay Shadow in Buck in the crease and outer v using a fluffy crease brush  to add definition and contrast to make the gold on the lid pop!

STEP 5: I then apply a very light gold color, my MAC Shadow in Ricepaper, on my brow bone to highlight using a fluffy shader brush.

STEP 6: I then apply my Sephora Liner Electro in Copper Electro on the outer half of my lower lashline for a nice bronze effect (:

STEP 7: I then take my Urban Decay Shadow in Smog and smudge it over the bronze liner on the outer half of my lower lashline to set it and make sure that no smudging occurs throughout the day.

STEP 8: And of course, I then take my favorite liquid liner, Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black and apply it on my upper lashline, making sure not to take the line all the way to the inner corner of my eye to avoid making the look too harsh.

STEP 9: And lastly, of course I apply my favorite mascara, Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara in Blackest Black on my upper lashes and Maybelline Great Lash in Blackest Black on my lower lashes!

Welp, that's the end of my second Back-to-School Look of the Day! I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did making it and as always, thanks so much for reading and remember to Follow for more SunbasqueInBeauty! (:

P.S. Be on the look-out tomorrow for a Chanel Featured Look recreated for less! (:

Until later,

I'm going to be doing a couple of back-to-school looks that have pretty much been my go-to looks lately, so to start off, I'm going to show you my "CoverGirl Tapestry Taupe" Look:

BACK-TO-SCHOOL LOTD: TAPESTRY TAUPE

STEP 2: I first take a flat shader brush and apply my CoverGirl Eyeshadow in Mink all over my lid.

STEP 3: I then take my CoverGirl Eyeshadow in Tapestry Taupe and apply it into my crease and Outer V with a fluffy crease brush.

STEP 4: I then applied my Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black on my upper lashline.

STEP 5: I then take my Sephora Liner Electro in Copper Electro and apply it on the outer half of my lower lashline.

STEP 6: I then take my Urban Decay Shadow in Smog and smudged it with a small crease brush on the outer half of my lower lashline over the brown Sephora Liner to prolong the liner throughout the day.

STEP 7: And lastly, I curl my lashes and apply my Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara in Blackest Black on my upper lashes and my Maybelline Great Lash on my lower lashes.

OUTFIT & LOOK OF THE DAY: FROM A DAY ON THE BEACH TO A SHORESIDE CAFE

Hey everyone! Recently I've been really stoked about going to the beach in about a month and I was feeling like dressing in a sort of "California Day-Around-Town" look, if you know what I mean (; So this is going to be an outfit AND look of the day fit for a day at the beach and a California night on the town! Pretty cool right, it's like two in one! ;D Anyways, on to the makeup:

THE MAKEUP:

For the makeup, I wanted to keep it bright and simple enough to wear to the beach, but enough to wear to a shoreside restaurant or cafe(:

STEP 1: First off, I just used my finger and applied my Benefit Cream Creaseless Shadow in R.S.V.P all over the lid and up to a little above the crease.

STEP 2: I then took a flat shader brush and applied Urban Decay's Eyeshadow in Sin from the Naked Palette all over my lid and up to a little above the crease.

STEP 3: I then took the same brush and applied Urban Decay's Eyeshadow in Sidecar from the Naked Palette on the outer third of my lid for some depth.

STEP 4: I then took a fluffy crease brush and applied Urban Decay's Eyeshadow in Naked from the Naked Palette into my crease and just a little above to add some dimension.

STEP 5: I then took a big, fluffy shader brush and highlighted my brow bone with Urban Decay's Eyeshadow in Virgin from the Naked Palette.

STEP 6: I then applied my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Whiskey on my upper lashline starting thick at the outer and going thinner towards the middle.

STEP 7: Lastly, as always, I curled my lashes and applied my Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Waterproof Mascara in Blackest Black on my upper lashes and Maybelline Great Lash in Blackest Black on the lower lashes. (Click here to see a review of Revlon Grow Luscious and click here to see a mini-review on Maybelline Great Lash).

 PART 2: THE OUTFIT

AT  THE SHORESIDE CAFE

SHIRT: As for the shirt, I'm just wearing a white cami from Kohls underneath a light sweater-type button-down cream vest. 

SHORTS: As for the shorts, I am wearing white Mossimo shorts from Target and a skinny braided belt from Forever 21.

SHOES: As for the shoes, I would wear a more dressy sandal such as these gold strap sandals from the Beach Club. 

Here's the shoe without my foot in it ;D

Here's the brand(:

Here's a close up of the belt.

Here's a close up of the sweater material and buttons.

A DAY AT THE BEACH

If you're going to the beach after or before the shoreside cafe, just add some sunglasses such as these Aviator ones from Mossimo from Target and a swimsuit underneath and you're ready for some sun and sand(:

As for the shoes, I would wear just some flip flops to the beach or some more casual sandals such as these ones from Forever 21(:

Here's the shoe without my foot in it again.. ;D

Here's a close up of the brand of sandal.

ACCESSORIES:

As for accessories, I'm just wearing a silver charm bracelet from Disneyland and a leather bracelet from a recent camping trip(:

Here's a close up of the mickey charm on the Disney charm bracelet.

Welp, that's the end of my spontaneous Outfit & Look of the Day for the beach ;D I hope that you enjoyed it and that it gave you some ideas! As always, thanks for reading(:
