Need to Look Your Best in a Hurry? Tips for a Quick and Polished Look!
Need to look your best in a hurry? Start with your face: it's
your "canvas."
Two ways to improve your appearance quickly are to get the glow
of healthy skin and then create a "polished" look.
Have a little extra time the night before your event? Eliminate
the buildup of dead surface cells that dull skin with a mask or
microdermabrasion (use the right products for your skin type and
special needs). Replenish moisture lost during the
super-cleansing by hydrating your skin thoroughly. Define
"fuzzy" lines, like your eyebrows, by shaping them to complement
your face.
On the day of your event, cleanse, freshen (or tone), and
moisturize your face and eye areas; foundation and makeup go on
more smoothly and evenly over well-hydrated skin. Since the eye
areas don't produce their own moisture, use an eye cream; it's
specially formulated for that delicate skin. Moisturizers for
the face tend to have humectants which can puff up the skin
around the eyes.
Foundation and powder: Apply concealer, if necessary, and
foundation. Then "finish" your face with powder. Powder "sets"
the foundation so it lasts longer with less need for touch ups.
Eye primer: Put on eye primer or dust powder over your
eyelids. Both provide a base for eye color so the color goes on
evenly and stays in place longer without creasing and smudging.
Eye color: The simplest approach to eye color is to apply
a neutral or soft shade (from the upper lashes to the brows)
which will enhance or "pop" another color placed over it. Almost
as easy is another technique using two colors. Follow the eye
primer with a single color from lash to brow. Then apply a
second stronger (or darker) color over the lids and into the
creases to complement the shape of your eyes. If you're getting
ready for an
evening event, be more dramatic than for an event
during the day.
Eye liner: Line the eyes if it enhances them, staying
close to the lash lines.
Mascara: To make your eye lashes appear thicker and
longer, start with the wand close to the eyes and then wiggle
the wand back and forth as you move it away from your eyes. To
really "open" your eyes, use an eyelash curler.
Eyebrows: A simple and natural way to emphasize the
eyebrows is to brush them with a matching shade of eye color and
then set the color with a gel. The gel also helps emphasize and
maintain the shape of your brows.
Cheek color: For your cheek color, either smile and apply
blush to the apples of your cheeks or sweep it up along your
cheek bones starting two fingers away from your nose and
stopping at your temples. Then blend the color gently.
Lip liner, lipstick, lip gloss: If color 'bleeding' is a
problem, run a lip outliner pencil along the outer edges of your
lips. Define your lips with a lip liner, fill in color with a
lipstick and polish with gloss.
You're done ... your canvas is now a "work of art!"
