Fresh-Faced Looks for 2014

It’s time to usher in the New Year with a neutral, yet sophisticated look. Well-known D.C.-area makeup artist and beauty expert, Lianne Farbes — aka The Makeup Girl — models three gorgeous, on-trend makeup palettes that’s she’s created for the new year.

Farbes shares her techniques for playing up the eyes and warming up the complexion (counter that winter pallor!) with a subtle application of bronzer. In each look she keeps the complexion fresh and vibrant with a natural-looking finish achieved with Tarte BB Cream.

To achieve this look with a dramatic eye and neutral lip:

  1. Tarte BB Cream applied allover with a brush (under eyes too)
  2. MAC Skinfinish natural applied with a stippling brush
  3. Lancome Le Crayon Poudre in brunette. Pencil on brows (brush powder through brows)
  4. MAC Pressed Pigment in Summer Honey (all over — apply with a fluffy brush), Damson (on lid apply with a flat brush) and Jet Couture (in crease apply with a short shader brush). When working with pressed pigment, be extra careful about how much you pick up on your brush because a little goes a LONG way
  5. CoverGirl Clump Crusher Mascara in black
  6. Matte bronzer by IT Cosmetics (from Live Love Laugh Vitality Face Disk applied under cheekbone and the blush on the apples of the cheeks
  7. NARS lip gloss in Coup de Coeur, a rich apple brandy shade
