Hi guys it's alyssa! First off, I would just like to say I'm extremely sorry I haven't been posting as often as I would like. This week was extremely busy for me! To prevent me from lying around my house being lazy, I signed up for a volleyball camp that was 6-7 hours everyday for 5 days! Yesterday was the last day and now I can finally start posting a bunch of things! Since I took part in a sporting activity this week, I decided to do a makeup tutorial on a more "sporty" makeup look and include some essentials. Of course some people prefer not wearing any makeup at all when working out or playing sports but it's all personal preference and in my a opinion a little makeup is neccessary. You definitely want to keep things simple and your main focus should be to look more fresh and awake. Since I knew I was going to be sweating a lot I didn't use any face products. I DID NOT want to create more breakouts and if I couldn't prevent them why not?! Anyways, I will be sharing with you the makeup I wore to volleyball this past week as well as some alternatives and my essentials when playing sports!!
Step 1: Apply a moisturizer
It's important to apply moisturizer to your face every single day. These two are my absolute favourites. The Aveeno Fresh Essentials moisturizer smells super good and is very hydrating. It also contains SPF 30. I tend to use this when its warm and sunny out. For every other day I use my First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. Its fantastic if your skin is feeling dry.
Step 2: Apply a tinted moisturizer and powder
This step is optional. When playing volleyball I skipped this step but if you want to cover anything up these two products are amazing. The No. 7 Dual Action Tinted Moisturizer blurs imperfections, conceals blemishes, gets rid of redness and makes your skin look flawless all while protecting your skin from the sun. The Maybelline Fit Me Powder sets the tinted moisturizer, keeps your face looking shine free and adds a little extra coverage as well.
Step 3: Fill in your brows
I never leave the house without filling in my brows, I've said this a hundred times. Of course I filled mine in and it made the world of a difference. The Anastasia Beauty Express For Brows and Eyes is a must have for me. Make sure you have a spoole and an angled eyeliner/eyebrow brush.
Step 4: Curl your lashes and apply mascara
To make me look more awake and fresh I curled my lashes and applied mascara. My favourites at the moment are the Loreal Lash Out Butterfly Mascara and the Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal Mascara (waterproof version) Both of these mascaras have a great formula. They coat the lashes with the perfect amount of product and they are both not clumpy and separate the lashes really well.
Step 5: Apply lipbalm
To keep your lips moisturized, soft and hydrated, apply your favourite lipbalm.
Essential 1: Hand sanitizer
To keep your hands clean and germ free keeping a sanitizer with you is crucial. I love the ones from Bath and Body Works. They all smell delicious and come in varieties of scents, flavors and colours. The one that I keep in my bag is called Merry Berry Sparkler.
Essential 2: Deodorant
Obviously deodorant is a must.... need I say more? I only use the crystal clear gel ones from Secret and the scent I am using at the moment is called "refreshingly floral" The scent is super fresh and light.
Essential 3: Body Mist
I am a huge fan of body mists and sprays so I have one with me at all times. They are so pleasant and they obviously make you smell amazing. One I have been loving is by Victoria's Secret and it is in the scent "pure seduction" This particular scent smells like flowers and fruit... red plum and freesia to be exact and it is very popular.
Essential 4: A good sports bra
Obviously when working out and playing sports you need a good sports bra. I really like this one from Nike. It's black so it goes with everything else you wear, it's comfortable and the material feels great. Also, the style is very nice.
Essential 5: A good pair of running shoes
I know that when I'm out and about playing sports I need to be comfy. The Nike free runs are super comfortable runners that are great for working out and playing sports. They look fantastic too!! Plus they come in so many different colours!
