MAKEUP: FRESH FACE IN A GIFFY

I know, it's not easy getting up in the morning. You keep on hitting the snooze button over and over again until you have to get up and rush out the door. Whether you're a student, a business woman, a full time mom, or whatever it is you're doing, let me tell you that there's hope...in 5 minutes. Yes, 5 minutes of your time, or less if you get better at it, to looking fresh and awake without 10 pounds of makeup on!

So, here are 3 easy steps to achieve that natural, enhanced, fresh face look with the use of my favorite products that has never let me down when I'm in panic mode.

STEP 1: BASE

Snoe Concealing Me Softly- Vanilla Creme (light)

I love this concealer because it not only covers up, it brightens my skin making it look fresh and awake. Just dot this, with warm clean fingers, on areas that might need concealing like under the eye area, dark spots, blemishes, on the sides of the nose and mouth. Gently blend away until it looks like second skin.

Poudre Duo Supreme - Perfect Beige (medium) After that's done, set it with your favorite face powder to keep your concealer from melting or smearing off over time. This product here keeps my face matte for a few hours until it turns dewy (not greasy) at the end of the day. I'm proud to say that I still look fresh no matter how my day turned out.

STEP 2: BROWS & EYES

Pixi Brown Duo (medium brown)

Your brows can either make you or break you, especially when you don't have time to make them beautifully shaped and arched. An angled (with a slight hard-waxy texture) medium brown pencil can do just the trick. Just simply fill in the sparse areas and brush through with a spooly or brow gel. This product is a time saver! I can't leave my place without it in my bag.

Sei Bella Defining Lash Mascara (black) After curling your lashes, coat them lightly to give them length and volume. For more definition without the use of eyeliner, give 3 more coats of mascara. This opens up your eyes even more.

Max Color Effect Mono Eye Shadow (creme champagne)

To look even more awake, add a pop of a champagne shimmer on the brow bone, center of the lid and the inner corner of your eyes. Trust me, they'll look tantalizing no matter how stressed you are.

STEP 3: CHEEKS & LIPS

Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm- Baby Bare And last but not the least, stain or tint your lips and the apples of your cheeks and you're good to go! Wearing makeup as if you don't have any on, just looking fresh. ;-D

TADAAAA!!!

Now, you're ready to take on the day no matter what it brings you. Oh, and one more thing, don't forget to put your smile on. That's what completes your makeup and what makes you feel good, too. You can't start your day out without it. ;-) Stay happy and beautiful, always! Mwah! <3 TJ Disclaimer: I'm not sponsored by any of the companies of the products presented here.
