Subtle face for the family.

Today is Easter, which means family dinners! I hate going out in public without my face at least a bit painted. I'm going to share with you a few secret tips to survive your families ridicule, perhaps a conservative granddaddy.

Step 1. Do light foundation, and very little finishing powder. This will leave your face still a bit "natural" looking, yet hide a vast majority of your imperfections.
Step 2. Line your waterline softly in white, then blend it out with your fingers so it doesn't look harsh.
Step 3. Add white eye shadow to your inner corners, then blend them out until it's just a soft flush of light.
Step 4. Use a brown or grey eye shadow and with an angle brush blend it into your lash line, blending it upwards.
Step 5. Use the same color lightly in your crease, blending it out until just a light shadow.
Step 6. Use finishing powder on a brush and use it all over the base of your eye like an eye shadow. This will make your eyes look a bit more natural, but still allowing you to have the higher crease, and the soft light on the inner corner.
Step 7. A lip balm or gloss will leave your lips moisturized and soft without adding too much color.

This is how I looked upon trying out this look. 
I hope it will help you today, or perhaps with future family holidays. 
It can be rather difficult being a lady man on family holidays, haha. 
Have a great day, everyone!
