5 Steps or Less!

To a 5 Minute Face!
I'm no makeup expert, and prefer to go au natural as often as possible. However, I only have about 5 minutes in the morning to present myself as a professional. Here are a few things I do to brighten my look for work.

1.Following your skincare, apply a high quality mineral powder foundation. (I have been using the Mary Kay brand and I like it!)
2. NARS Orgasm blush. Folks, I am not a bandwagon girl, but no substitutes please. Apply like a backwards "3" on your face- jawline, cheekbone, outer forehead.

3. Apply a neutral but shimmery cream shadow to your lid and blend. I like Clinique Quick Eyes Shadow in Lucky Penny.
4. Mascara!! I have found that recommending one is pointless, you have to go with one that works for you. The only way to find one is to experiment! However, if you are like me and trying to brighten a tired appearance, trying another shade besides black to accentuate your eye color. Read about what color is for you here.
5. A nice gloss or sheer lipstick. I love Burt's Bee's Super Shiny Natural Lip Gloss in Zesty Red, or Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, a universally flattering shade that takes a different tone on everyone.
