As always sharing is caring and you are welcome to share these tips with all the women in your world that you feel could benefit from them.
- Organize and Time flies
Putting all your beauty products in order saves time. If you’re like most busy ladies, your makeuhbp/dressing mirror is probably in a constant state of disarray. Well, you’re wasting precious getting-ready-time; get that space organized. Select the top five makeup products you absolutely love to wear and put them all together in your morning beauty bag. It’s so much easier to get ready in a hurry when you know exactly where everything is.
- Keep up a good skin care routine.
I know I’ve said this before but the importance of taking care of your skin and keeping it healthy cannot be understated. It’s easier and less work to apply makeup on well cared for skin than neglected skin.
Develop a great skin care routine, including daily cleansing, toning and moisturizing not forgetting the regular facial.
- Keep it simple and classy
Customize your daily look. Choose neutral colors that will complement any outfit. This will become your signature look. You won’t even have to think twice in the morning as you create a consistent work of art.
- Focus on the Three E’s
If you’re in a serious rush (or you’ve hit the snooze button on the alarm one too many times), just focus on the three E’s — eyebrows, eyeliner, and eyelashes. Brush and fill in brows with a dark brown brow pencil, line your eyes using black eyeliner, and slowly wiggle a mascara wand through your lashes for definition. If you’ve got under-eye darkness, a quick touch of concealer under your eyes and in the inner corners of your nose will automatically brighten up your face.
- Conceal That Blemish
Unless you’re already blessed with flawless skin (if so, what’s your secret?!), you need to hide those pesky blemishes that always appear at the worst possible times. Using a pointed brush, apply concealer. Don’t forget to apply some on the under-eye area as well. It’ll make you look fresher, like you’ve just woken up after a restful night of sleep. Then, set everything with powder to make sure it won’t crease halfway through that important business meeting.
- Prefect your pout
When you’re running short on time, one of the best ways to look posh in a hurry is to sport a bold lipstick color. Since these daring shades bring all the attention to your lips, there’s no need to add a lot of eye makeup or much else, really. You’ll look all done up in almost no time flat.
When it comes to lip colors the options are limitless. You can choose a natural shade or one with a pop of color to compliment your outfit. Remember the lesser pigment there is in a lip color, the easier it is to apply. With a natural shade, you can safely apply well even without looking at a mirror.
