Essentials for Speedy Makeup Application
You just finished practice and you have a dinner date at your boyfriend’s house with his parents. Or, you’re off to a study group that’s meeting at the hottest hangout place in town after a long afternoon of chores. Or, you’re heading out with your best girlfriends to pick up some essentials at the mall after sleeping in a little too long. In your rush to look proper, you don’t have a lot of time to freshen up. Here are the essential makeup tools you’ll need to look vibrant, bright and well put together.
Wash your face with moisturizing cleanser before makeup application.
A clean face translates well and it provides you with a little pick-me up. We have a few favorite face washes here.
Add a powder foundation.
Liquid foundation takes too long to apply and may look streaked if put on in a rush. Instead, opt for a powder foundation that applies evenly. Check out our favorite foundations here.
Swipe your eyes with a bit of mascara.
When mascara is applied to the top lashes, it creates the illusion that your eyes are lifted, which brighten your face. Check out the best mascara’s here.
Add lip-gloss in a color that compliments your skin tone.
Don’t worry about trendy colors because they may clash with the clothes you throw on last minute. Instead, have a color on-hand that compliments your natural beauty so it’ll look good no matter what the season. Here’s some tips for finding the perfect color.
