Are you with or against make-up? Do you wear it on a daily basis, or do you leave it for those special occasions? I myself wear it everyday; during the day I opt to go for that fresh looking glow, while at night I may add some emphasis on the eyes and a more solid colour on the lips.
Wearing make-up doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re covering some flaws it’s just a matter of emphasising what you’ve got. And you wont believe the boost it adds to your self esteem and confidence.
Today, I thought I would share some tips of mine on what my daily essentials for a fresh looking face are:
1- Foundation; be it cream, press powder, or tinted cream this should be applied immediately after applying your daily face cream. Most of these now come with sun protection.
2- Colour for the eyes; again this could be either powder-like or cream-like. If you decide to go with 1 colour, then this should be applied entirely across the eyelid and preferably light colors. Should you choose 2 or maximum 3 then choose the darkest and apply it nearest to your lashes and then the lighter ones towards the eyebrows. Remember a little shimmer or light shadow should be placed under the curve of the eyebrow for emphasis.
3- Eye liner; if you’re going for a casual daily look, I prefer going with pencil eye liners (kohl) as they give a more subtle look for the day. Coloured eye lids with nothing to define the eye I would have to call a no no, simply because it draws the attention away from them. A nicely defined eye should be considered when the lids are coloured.
4- Mascara; this is a must! If you won’t apply the above the least you could apply is the mascara. The magic it does to your lashes is undeniable! Ladies don’t leave your houses without your long lashes!
5- Blush; also for a daily look a little blush on the apple of your cheeks is always appealing to the eye. For the summer opt for a more sun kissed colour, whereas for the winter, pinkish shades are the way to go.
Top this up with a nice shade of lip gloss and a pretty smile and there you have it, you’re done for the day.
**Remember to look after your face, by making sure it is clean, and always moist. A daily routine of morning and night cleansing and moisturising is more than enough to get the job done.
I’m no beauty specialist, but I’m with looking nice and feeling good every day. How do you wear make-up?
