The other day when I posted my�Nars Light Reflecting Foundation review I got a lot of requests to do a tutorial about my full makeup look. I call this an �In-Between Makeup Look� because it is more fancy than your everyday carpool look, but not dramatic event makeup. Watch my Instagram Reel {linked below} to see how I apply, or read all the details below. This post is sponsored by Nordstrom, but I chose the products to feature and bought the products with my own money.

Here is a link to my Instagram Reels video where I show application of all the products:

Products I Used
Primer- I have tried the Nars Light Reflecting Foundation with several different primers and it has worked well with all them. Most often I use it with my �quick and dirty� primer- the Too Faced Hangover spray primer. No other primer is this quick and fuss-free! The primer helps blur pores and makes the foundation last even longer.
Foundation-�The Nars Light Reflecting Foundation�(in the video I used shade Gobi) is superior to other luxury foundations I�ve tried because it goes on so effortlessly. Many good foundations have perfected that �second skin� finish, but I find them difficult or time-consuming to blend out. With the Nars, I put about 1.5 pumps on my fingers and then dot on my t-zone areas and under eyes. Then I blend out with my fingers from there. If you want to add more coverage, the formula layers and builds nicely.
After I smooth out with my fingers, I use a damp Beauty Blender to bounce around any areas that look thick to make it meld with my skin. I also make sure to blend out any harsh lines around the sideburn area, hairline or jawline.
Setting Powder- After applying the foundation I have been setting with the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Pressed Powder�(in Fair) with the Hourglass Double-Ended Veil Powder Brush. This brush is so handy to travel with because it can do it all- powder, bronzer, blush, and highlighter. Make sure you bounce the fluffy brush up and down instead of wiping because it will disturb the foundation underneath.
The Nars foundation alone covers up a great deal of imperfections, but if I still see under-eye dark circles peeking through, I dab on Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (shade Vanilla) with my ringfinger. Also I didn�t use it in this video, but I have also really been liking the new Nars Creamy Corrector (in Light). Use it before concealer to cancel out the blue undertones of dark circles.
Bronzer- I absolutely love the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer (shade Tan). It has incredible weartime and is completely shimmer-free, so it works very well for contouring. I also use it in the crease of my eyelids to create depth and dimension.
Brows- I love the Charlotte Tilbury Brow Cheat in Taupe (full review here). Brush the brow hairs straight up with Lancome Sourcils Styler Brow Gel (I use shade Blonde) for that �laminated brow� look that is so hot right now.
Lashes- Lancome Cils Booster Lash Primer�followed by Hourglass Unlocked Mascara.
Eyeshadow- Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eyeshadow Palette in Pillow Talk
Lips- I overlined my lips (mostly just going straight across my Cupid�s Bow) with Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk (the cult fave nude pink that works on everyone!) and then filled in with Hot Lips 2 Lipstick in Angel Alessandra.
Setting Spray- Set everything with a few quick spritzes of the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Setting Spray.
