A couple of weeks ago I showed you one of my favorite summer makeup looks. Here's part two in that series, and it ends with a giveaway!
This week's look is all about a fresh, natural face that's great for daytime. Here's the overall look:
After I applied concealer and mineral powder foundation, I used a warm-toned Mary Kay blush called "Golden Copper" on my cheeks. I'm really fair, so to warm my skin up even more, I applied a little Mary Kay bronzing powder in "Desert Sun" right above my blush, and on my nose and forehead (making a "T"). This has a light shimmer to it so it gives a great warm, natural glow.
Using my favorite lipstick-application method, I filled my lips in completely using chocolate lip liner, and covered that with one of my favorites, Amber Glow lipstick. I used a dab of Mary Kay's limited edition Hawaiian Sunset lipgloss in the center of each look to add some sparkle.
To keep this look really fresh and casual, I used light-colored eye makeup.
On my lids and browbone, I used the light, shimmery Crystalline. In my crease I used a pretty, pale sparkly green called "Lemongrass". I lined my upper and lower lashes with a light eyeliner, the limited-edition "Tahitian Gold". To finish off my eye-makeup, I used Mary Kay Ultimate mascara in Black-Brown. I used to only use waterproof mascara, but I've recently started using Ultimate and I LOVE it! It really is quite water-resistant and it makes my lashes a mile long. If I'm going to a wedding or somewhere else I might get teary-eyed, I swipe a coat of waterproof over my Ultimate, but otherwise I wear it by itself and it lasts all day and stays put.
Now for the fun part! I've got some great Mary Kay products to give away to THREE lucky readers. Each winner will receive a palette with four great mineral eye shadow colors (including the Lemongrass that I used in the look above) and a sample bottle of Mary Kay's famous Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, which you will fall in LOVE with if you've never tried. It is simply THE. BEST. EVER!
Here's how to enter:

THREE winners will be chosen by random.org on Satuday, June 20th! Good luck!

I can't do without a combination of Maybelline's dream matte mousse foundation and L'Oreal's true match mineral powder. I look like a different person once it's on!
I couldn't live without my Loreal Mineral Makeup foundation! It is the best!! Oh, and I need my eyeliner too!
Mascara, Mascara, Mascara! I can leave the house without ANYTHING — but a quick swipe o' mascara!
I can't live without my mascara. I use Lashblast volume mascara, it's covergirl and comes in a large orange tube so I'll never lose it.
There are two things I can't live without. Mary Kay's black mascara and Glossy Opal Slick Tints lip gloss from Avon. Thank you for the giveaway.

The one piece of make up i can't live with out is my dark brown eye liner. I kinda think my eyes are a little on the squinty side so I always put eye liner on the top lid to make my eyes look bigger. I very rarely go with out the eye liner. thank you for the chance!

I love tinted moisturizer – its great to put on when you don't have a lot of time.
Maybelline Very Black Mascara. I like the no frills variety. If it has any waterproofing or curling agents in it my eyelashes start falling out.
I need my blusher – Bare Minerals, but I recently bought Mary Kay's new mineral blush and like it a lot!
I can't live without Mary Kay pressed powder and lip gloss! Also, Almay ache fighting concealer.
I can't live without my Maybelline Cover Stick and my lip gloss!

I absolutely can't live without Avon's moisture effective eye make-up remover. It removes any & all eye make-up and it doesn't leave that funky film over your eyes like many eye make-up removers can! Oh…and I love me some colorstay eyeliners (Revlon – taupe was the best color but I've had to switch to cocoa.)
I can't live without my lorac translucent touch up powder, burts bees lip balm, and my clinique like mink eyeshadow duo oh crap and my lumene blueberry curl mascara haha ahh sorry couldn't just pick one!
