Five Minute Fresh Face!

Something I learned a long time ago,  and even passed down to my little sister was  the  notion "Never leave your house without mascara, and lip gloss! "This is a very important girly rule to live by! Below, I have extended it to 5 things  for the "Fresh Face. "                     

I don't know about you all, but when I  first wake up, I look like....we'll use your imagination! 
So since  my wash and go face has turned into a "wash and no"  face,  I've figured  it out.  
I've been practicing this technique for months and constantly notice what a difference just 5 cosmetic items can make.  The goal is not  to look  done, or over done, but just fresh.   Like, the face you wish you had when you woke up.  One day I'll  be bold enough to  post a video tutorial.  Baby steps!

So the five items to apply after  you've  moisturized are:

1. Tinted lip  gloss,   actually  glossy
2.  Concealer,  one shade lighter than your skintone
3.  Black Eyeliner, pencil,  no gel or liquid
4.  Black  Mascara,   $5 or  less  drug  store brand
5.  Blush , red,  rose,  or deep pink

This  process  should take less than five minutes

1.  Apply and blend concealer under your eyes, the inner and outer corner of your eyes, eyelids, each side of your nose, upper lip and lips (if you have dark skin) and both corners or your mouth. Basically you're dotting it on with the pad of your ring finger and blending it the same. This will create highlights on your face. If you blend well enough there should be no need for actual foundation, I promise :)

2.Take a big blush brush, and sweep the color on the apples of your cheeks and blend into your temples, don't be shy either!

3. Next, take the black eyeliner (NO CAT EYE PLEASE NO) and gently outline the upper and lower eyelid from outer corner to the middle, as close the lash line as you can. *This is also the trick to use in any event where you forgot, or lost your mascara.

4. Layer on the mascara, top and bottom lashes.

5. Lastly, "grease up those lips"! Be generous with the lip gloss.

If this is done properly, you may not even have to go back midday and reapply! Okay, please try this and let me know how it works for me, or any suggestions that you've found!

Note: I've intentionally left off eyeshadow, the concealer on your lid will be enough for what we're trying to accomplish here!
