Some days we just don't have enough time...cleaning house, doing homework, taking care of kids, hitting the gym, pulling in some overtime at work...the list goes on. Let's face it, while we'd love to love full face fabulous every day sometimes we just don't have the time or energy to make it happen. So, I introduce to you, the 5 and under fabulous face. These simple tips can help keep you feeling fabulous and take less than 10 minutes to apply.
TIP 1: Even Skin Tone
Even skin tone visually makes your face look refreshed. Now this doesn't mean you have to spend hours contouring and highlighting your face. All we want to do is even out our skin tone so there color is in the right spots. So dab some foundation in the areas that need some TLC such as round your nose and perhaps around your cheeks and eyes and then blend it in with your clean fingers.
TIP 2: Tidy Brows
This is one of those things that you don't realize you need until you start to do it and then when you don't you realize how much it can make a difference. Untidy brows can make a beautiful face just look tired. A simple product like a tinted brow gel brushed through your brows can add color and depth to your face while giving the eye area some definition. Already have darker brows? Run a clear brow gel through those puppies and you'll see that you can quickly shape your brows so they look more put together framing those beautiful windows to your soul.
To further enhance, refresh, and define your eyes a pop of mascara can greatly help. To keep it more natural just apply one coat of mascara instead of two or you can even look for a dark brown mascara instead of the trusty black. Long, lush lashes are inviting to all.
TIP 4: Long Wearing Blush
Okay, this may seem strange when you're in a time crunch why would you take the time to blush yourself? Simple answer - having color on your cheeks will give you a fresh, energized look and it literally can take seconds. My personal favorite is to dab on a cream blush with my fingers and then I'm good to go for the day. Dab and dash!
TIP 5: A Lip
The next time you're having a conversation with someone try to pay attention to how often you look at their lips. It's our way of communication and understanding so why wouldn't you pucker up and take care of your pout? Whether you're simply putting on some lip balm, popping on a natural/nude color, or making a statement with a bold color the treatment of your lips will help pull everything together. I love doing a bold lip when I have a quick makeup because it adds some unpredictable color that is easy to apply.
