Glow With Caitlin Goetz
A glowing neutral face is an incredible asset for spring. As you experiment with stronger dressing in the spring and summer months, sometimes a face that shows off our natural state is the best accessory. We started Caitlin Goetz with Therapy Systems Loose Mineral Foundation in Nude. Just a few taps from the raised sifter dispenser on our biggest brush and her face was a smooth canvas for the rest of our beauty adventures. Swirl at will girls!
We bravely ventured into bronzer territory right off the fact. We know it can seem daunting this far from summer but we a few well placed swipes of Vincent Longo Sole Mio Duo Bronzer from the light Fun side of the duo shaped Caitlin's cheek bones immediately. We followed with Benefit Georgia as our blush to get a peach perfect combination of blush and bronzer. The apples of her cheeks have color and her cheekbones are just a tad bit more defined with this combination. We suggest sweeping in round circles on the cheeks with Benefit and one or two quick upstrokes on the cheek bones with the Sole Mio bronzer.
Next we moved on to Caitlin's eyes. The tried and true trick of using a wet flatbrush to apply eyeshadow as eyeliner takes a new twist with Bobbi Brown's Eye Shadows. We used Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow in Charcoal to create as slim a line as possible, so slim you can barely see it in fact. Their formulation glides on smoothly and blends far more easily than the competition making an impossible task of creating a barely there eye opening line seem easy. We used Laura Mercier's Flat Eye Liner Brush to achieve the look. For eyeshadow we went withSonia Kashuk Powder Partner Eye Shadows. Nothing is better than a set of complementary shades for eye contouring. Make it cheap and effective and you win us over forever. Which is exactly what Sonia Kashuk has done with her Powder Partners Eye Shadow duos. We used the spring shade Puff Peach on Caitlin to bring out her pink undertones. And the final eye touch was Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Very Black $5. We aren’t sure we even need to explain why Great Lash was our mascara of choice. The perennial favorite needs no rationale. Easy to apply, long lasting and almost entirely without clumps, it is the mascara of champions.
But the real coup de grace? Caitlin's pillowy perfect pink lips! Leave it to Bobbi to create our new favorite everyday lipstick. Bobbi Brown Creamy Lipstick is just what it claims to be. With creamy, colorful, long lasting and with matte and shimmer options, chances are any girl can find a perfect daytime neutral to suit her tastes in this collection. We used Nectar on Caitlin and loved its subtle sheen so much we stole it for ourselves.
