East Coast vs West Coast Makeup Collab

May 2, 2013

 

 

Hi loves!! I’m excited today, Carly over at Lipgloss and Crayons {{whom I ADORE}} asked me to do a collab post with her and we would each feature a day and night look, as a Cali girl she would cover the West Coast makeup looks and me && my Jersey Girl self would do the East Coast. I love what Carly came up with and I hope you guys enjoy all of our looks && stick around to the end and enter our super fun Sephora giveaway, we wanted to reward a readers with something fun!! I hope you love our East Coast vs West Coast Makeup collab!

I love a good Jersey girl & there are quite of few of them out there, but two that I’m sure you all know so I wanted to give my interpretation of how to “Get Their Look”.

I think Jersey girls get a bad rap, like we’re all running around like the chicks from the Jersey Shore with crazy makeup caked on our face and a stock of bronzer well I do have a stock of bronzer but I know how to use it but I promise we know how to play it down. I love the natural look that Kirsten Dunst has going here, and it’s easy to achieve with a lovely bb cream, neutral eye shadow with a highlight for the inner corners, a brown liner and dark mascara and a soft matte lip. This look is perfect for a day trip down the shore and a walk a long the boardwalk.

For the night look, I was inspired by one of my personal favorite Jersey girls, the lovely Anne Hathaway in Devil Wears Prada. Jersey at night is a bit different, and we tend to want to look very “glammed up”! This is a pretty simple look with a simple bb cream, downplayed bronze to brown eyes with cream shadow, a dark liner and a pop of mascara go perfect with a bronze shade for blush and the bold red lipstick will give this look the perfect finishing touch.

California day makeup is all about easy, natural and beachy. The weather is beautiful out here in the summer, and you need JUST enough makeup to enhance a sunkissed glow. A basic beauty balm, bronzer, and a peachy cheek stain mimic days of vacation. Finish it off with a nude eye, light brown liner, mascara and soft pink lip…..you’re ready for the day!

California nightlife is very casual, so making the transition to evening is simple! A deeper eye ? Darkened liner ? A brighter gloss? And you’re good to go!!!

    Momma always said “You can leave the house with mo make up on if you want, but you’re naked without mascara!”

  28. JenD says

    lip balm, I have them laying around everywhere I got so many so I always have it on hand

  30. Karen C says

    My must have product is tinted brow gel. Without it, my eyebrows are invisible, not a good look for anyone.

  33. Martha Woods says

    I have to have mascara. And if I’m feeling down, a swipe of red lipstick always helps! I really enjoyed seeing the different looks you both put together. I love Anne Hathaway’s look in that picture, she’s so gorgeous. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  34. Cara Howard says

    I’m IN LOVE with Smashbox’s Photo Finish Face Primer. I didn’t even know about it till a week and a half ago and now I LOVE IT and can’t live without it. xoxo

  36. JamieC says

    My Most must have makeup product would be the Tarte 12-Hour Tinted BB Cream Primer

  39. Marta K says

    I think a lip gloss is always a must have makeup product. It’s pratical to have with and useful to look slighty different already! 🙂

  40. Trine-Marie says

    I don’t think I could only pick one! But I do love my Clinique High Impact mascara 🙂

  41. Becca May says

    I have a TON! Its probably a tie between BB cream and Mascara but if I could only use ONE makeup product for the rest of my life, it would have to be mascara. Am I the only person who thinks that mascara just totally transforms my face?? I LOVE the Maybelline Illegal Length mascara!

  43. Heidi says

    This is a weird one but I’m a red head so I couldn’t live without my eyebrow pencil! I look like a completely different person once my eyebrows are visible lol

  47. Jayden Elizabeth says

    Concealer from clinique! I always have dark circles under my eyes!

  51. Budget Splurge Beauty says

    Definitely mascara to give the eye some definition and make those lashes flutter, but lip balm is a must to keep the lips healthy and happy.

  63. Kelsey Eaton says

    I love a good eye cream to keep my eyes lookin awake and bright to start my makeup look!

  68. Grace Inman says

    Benefit’s POREfessional – it does wonders on my face and also leaves it silky smooth 🙂

  69. Meagan says

    I love the Maybelline Color Tattoos! My must haves though are the CG clean for sensitive skin and a little mascara – they make me look alive if I don’t feel like getting all glammed up! 🙂

  74. Lila says

    Bright eyeshadow & eyeliner. Although I’ve been getting really in to matte lipsticks lately. I love this East Coast/West Coast idea!

  85. luchessa says
